"A strange pull towards the depths of ocean, and lulling calls muffled by the waves. The comfort and warmth of the pleas is indescribable, resonating in her mind like a soft and gentle ringing, no, like soothing whispers, or a warm breeze blowing past, tickling her ear. Something about it so intriguing, tempting her to plunge into the icy water right this moment, but the second her eyes pull away from the looming darkness below, the murmurs in her head dissipate, leaving a sense of relief, but in the same sense, an indescribable emptyness."
El Rodgers has her whole future planned out when her world is suddenly flipped upside down and she is sucked from her modern lifestyle and dropped onto the deck of a 17th century pirate ship. El strives to find her way home while also dealing with a new issue. The past is calling to her and she can't seem to escape it no matter how hard she tries.

The Lighthouse's Reflection || HONORABLE MENTION
🏆ONC 2025 HONORABLE MENTION 🏆 A lone lighthouse keeper watches over the coast, tending to her light as the sea rages beyond. The storms are nothing new-neither is the solitude. She is content with the quiet rhythm of her life, the crash of waves against the cliffs, the scent of salt and parchment filling her days. But when a shipwreck leaves a battered stranger at her doorstep, the tide of her world begins to shift. The man is rough-edged, a relic of salt and shadow, with secrets hidden beneath his scars. He speaks of a past that the waves should have swallowed, of maps inked in the margins of forbidden books, of love letters lost to time. Trapped together by a storm that refuses to pass, they share stories by lantern light-one seeking refuge, the other searching for something long forgotten. Yet not all ghosts are content to stay buried, and not all storms end when the sky clears. Whispers of war linger in the distance, and the truth he carries may threaten the safe harbor she has built for herself. As the past and present begin to intertwine, she must decide-will she cling to the safety of her lighthouse, or will she risk everything to follow the reflection of something new? -- Cover by @Heuristic_Hashmath
As A Stranger Or A Friend?
Upon the blurred line of morality and at the mercy of circumstance, two souls meet. Again. And again. And again. So, is it simply a coincidence or something more? When a young Mariel leaves home, she is instructed to lead a quiet, ignoble life. Forever. And so, determined to remain overlooked, she toils endlessly, disguised as all things plain. But they say still waters run deep, and even the ordinary are not who they appear to be... So, what would it take for those waters to ripple? Enter the raucous and free Axtapor, a nobleman turned pirate. Dashing through life like a tempest, he is resolved to live on his own terms, allowing none to stand in his way. But a pirate's curse is a pair of wandering eyes, a boundless appetite for more, and a fascination with the unknown. Waters disturbed, the two upend one another's lives with misunderstanding hands and misguided compassion.

Tides of deception ✺ Outlander/Stephen Bonnet Fanfic
✺Complete! ✺ Thank you for 3K reads! ✺ In the year 1764, Maria is thrust from her world in 2024 into a perilous time of pirates, betrayal, and uncertain alliances. Stranded on the American coast, she finds herself at the mercy of the infamous pirate captain, Stephen Bonnet-dangerous, charming, and impossible to trust. As the two are forced to pretend a bond deeper than it is to evade the law, they begin to question whether the connection they're faking is becoming real. The lines between deception and desire blur as both Maria and Stephen grapple with growing emotions neither of them expected, all while the looming threat of capture and betrayal shadows their every step. Faced with enemies at sea and secrets on board, they must navigate more than just the dangerous waters of the Atlantic. Edit: In this story, Stephen Bonnet is not a rapist or throwing kids overboard. I loved his charm on the show but hated his exremely violent side. So I wrote this for you to enjoy his dangerous charm, without getting traumatized. He's a dangerous hard to read pirate with a strong temper out of touch with his feelings. The story has the same elements of timetraveling through the stones as written by Diana Gabaldon. I took the character Stephen from her stories and gave him a softer twist. The fanfiction hopefully has similar vibes but mostly come from my own imagination. Also be ready for some spicy chapters!

The Sea Nymph (sapphic romance | "Ariel" inspired)
My hand burned against hers, the coil in my lower belly winding up, begging for release. I immediately let go, a blush crawling up my neck. She looked me over, a predatory look falling onto that sharp and stunning face. Her pupils were blown like last night. I wanted to reach out, to touch her, to beg for her to ravish me. - Calypsa had seen ship wrecks far and wide, but none with a female captain so magnetic. Her eyes were the color of sea glass. Black and blue hair. She matched what Calypsa loved most, the ocean. The land was forbidden. It was meant for the humans alone, nymphs were a story, nothing but pirate gossip. Calypsa couldn't imagine the surface beyond fleeting moments when she was a child, but she couldn't ignore this calling. Especially when she had an excuse. To return what didn't belong to her, something that had never bothered her before.Complete
The Sole Prince
[ Only the ocean can bring a prince and a pirate together, only the sea can keep their secrets, and only the waves can tear them apart. ] [ COMPLETED - 80K Words] [ LGBT Historical Romance ] [ FEATURED ] James Serrio is supposed to be a prince, not a prisoner rotting away in the bottom of a pirate ship. His future was royalty, not death in a grimy hunk of wood, but it seems that fate had a different plan. Just when things couldn't seem to get worse, another ship attacks, and James is starting his prisoner journey all over again. But these new pirates are different, to say the least, especially Sage Morrow, the captain, with his black coat, gold buttons, sharp jawline, and steel-blue eyes. There's something about the captain that reminds James of a fire on a cold day. And, there's something about the new prisoner that reminds Sage of home. But there are more important things for James to focus on than a man, like the fact he's somewhere on the vast ocean, in a ship full of hungry pirates, with nothing more than a necklace and a quick brain to call his own. The Sole Prince is the story of James Serrio and Sage Morrow, and their consequential fate after running into each other smack dab in the middle of nowhere.
