I was still naive then, I had no idea how that childhood love for each other would grow into something so strong, something...that...burns and aches. As if you're being pulled under by the waves and the depths press against your chest, pushing out the air from your lungs.
It's like drowning and the more you fall in love the more you're pained by the thought of losing him; and so the sea pulls you deeper and deeper into the blackest depths. It hurts the farther and farther you're pulled into the water, but the same thing that may be killing you is also the same thing keeping you alive- so you let it drag you under.
It's not what Mother described love to be- it's not what anybody described love to be-it's not a pleasant feeling that fills your belly with butterflies.
No, it's the weight of the sea crushing against your lungs and tossing you back and forth beneath it's waves. It's the calm before the storm and the storm in itself. And it hurts, but you let it hurt you. Because without it you know you wouldn't be the same, and you know that for the pain of love to cease, would mean the love itself would cease. And you can't live without this love. The mere thought seems impossible.
So you welcome the hurt, you embrace it and it's not until he is safe again does the pain subside. But the moment he is away from home, the waves pull you under again and you struggle for air.
That is what love feels like.

While his friend changes into the most fearless man he has ever seen, his feelings transcend those of friendship and admiration.

However, when their ship comes across another pirate ship of which the crew is nearly dead, Markus seems to lose grip on his friend's heart. A new monster is born. Jealousy; a more treacherous, poisonous and destructive beast than whatever creature that lives in the sea. ________ Note: This story is a fanfiction of the wonderful Wattpad story 'Rapture', written by athenamaddox, who gave me permission to write a fanfic. My story can be read as a stand alone, but I highly recommend to read her story too for no matter how much effort I will put into this story, it's never going to be as amazing as the original work. Just read it. I have never written fanfiction about a book so that's an indication of how amazing Rapture is. (:

Mistah Captain Jack Sparrow
At one time, I used to be a pirate. I used to be as free as the birds that fly over the ocean. I never followed rules or laws or anything like that. Of course, everyone has a code they live by. I did have pirate code, but... now that I'm no longer a pirate, I don't live by it anymore. Don't get me wrong... I don't mind not being on the ocean all the time, but I do miss it. I loved being free and truly not really ever having to listen to someone tell me what to do all the time. It's not like that now... I had to give up being a pirate, when I almost got killed. I mean, trust me, every single day was a fight for my life, but... that time was different. My parents both got killed protecting me, so I decided to give it up. Of course, I still have my skills, but... I'm a bit rusty. Anyways, here I am just living my life on the land, with my "brother", Will. He's not really my brother. It's a cover we used a long time ago, so I could get into the city. His father knew my parents. That's why he helped me. He found out about them getting killed, so... he helped me out. We are close, though. He is like a brother to me, and I consider him a brother. Moving on, here I am just... wasting my days away with Will. All we do is sit in his shop and make weapons. However... everything changes when an infamous pirate shows up out of nowhere. Everything turns upside down, after I meet... "Mistah Captain Jack Sparrow..." or.. Mistah J, as I like to call him, just to get on his nerves....Complete

Ink & Steel
When I was 14, my best friend, Declan, rushed into my life like a storm. He climbed through my window one night, carrying a duffel bag full of baseball equipment, but it wasn't for a game. It was for me. He'd seen the bruises, heard the shouting, and knew what my dad had been doing. Declan, smaller than me even at that age, fought my father to protect me, taking the blows that I couldn't fight off. That night, my dad moved us away, and I never saw Declan again. Now, 13 years later, I'm back in town-older, tougher, and a lot more guarded-but I have no idea where Declan ended up. Life pulled us in different directions, and mine was full of scars, seen and unseen. Then, one night at a red light, a guy starts harassing me through my open window. Before I can react, a motorcycle screeches to a stop beside me. The rider-tattooed, broad-shouldered, and completely lethal-reaches through the guy's window, slams his head into the steering wheel, and rides off like it was just another Thursday. I follow him. He ends up at a place called The Rusted Anchor, a rough bar on the edge of town, hidden behind rusted fences and rows of bikes. The crowd is loud and rough, but I've seen worse. Inside, it smells like whiskey, smoke, and danger. And behind the bar, pouring drinks with practiced ease, is the man I thought I lost all those years ago-Declan. He's no longer the quiet, skinny kid who risked everything to protect me. He's a man now-hardened, scarred, with eyes like storm clouds and a presence that silences a room. He doesn't recognize me at first. But when he does, I see it-that same fire, that same instinct to protect. Only now, it burns even hotter. Declan isn't just back in my life. He's ready to do whatever it takes to keep me safe. And this time, no one is going to take me away from him.Complete
Bloody Love
Bloody Love" follows the legend of Captain Mazu, a fearsome pirate and living legend known as the "Mother of the Seas." At 53, with a face scarred by a kraken and a reputation built on merciless raids, Mazu's reign is one of absolute power and cold discipline. Her ship, the Fire Dream, is a harbinger of doom, its black sails a symbol of her unyielding might. However, Mazu's world is shattered by a cryptic message in a bottle: "She lives." The two words force her to confront a past she thought was long buried. They refer to the Leviathan, an infamous warship that vanished a decade ago in a legendary storm, and its tyrannical captain-Mazu's former rival and mentor. The message isn't a threat; it's a challenge, leading her to the treacherous Drowned Isles. There, Mazu uncovers the truth: the Leviathan wasn't lost to a storm, but was sunk by her nemesis, a cunning and ruthless rival named Kael, who is very much alive and waiting for her. The story evolves beyond a simple pirate tale of vengeance. Mazu's journey becomes a test of her spirit and her leadership. As she grapples with the ghosts of her past, she must navigate not only the literal storms of the sea but also the emotional tempests that haunt her crew. She faces a vengeful spectral ship, a rival once a friend, and a city dying from a curse born of regret. In a world where the sea itself is a character-a harsh mistress and a source of profound power-Mazu learns that her greatest strength isn't her cutlass or her cunning, but her connection to the ocean and the loyalty of a crew that now sees her not just as a captain, but as an oracle and a protector.Complete
