In a quiet corner of the past, Mameko finds herself in the care of João, after escaping a life of cruel slavery. He is a kind-hearted sailor whose life at sea has taught him the depths of solitude and the strength of tenderness. Bearing the invisible marks of her own harsh history, Mameko struggles to find her footing in the unfamiliar calm of freedom João offers. Together, they navigate the delicate waters of healing and companionship, seeking solace in each other from the storms they've weathered.

As they learn the rhythms of trust and the language of care, can they forge a future that honors their pasts but is no longer anchored to them?

(Originally posted on ao3, decided to post it here too.)

(Also Author Note: Hi!! Just as a note, this work does take place in the late 1500s, and while I do my absolute best to preserve historical accuracy, I do take artistic liberties at times. Also, as a general warning, this first chapter is a bit rough, as it gives context into her capture and time in slavery. João probably won't show up until Chapter 3 or 4 so just stick with me here. Also I don't speak Portuguese so I apologize for any errors there.)

Mature Content. Yautjas and stuff don't belong to me. This fic is based on the premises created by the Awesome @KaterinaWinters . I am taking inspiration from her book -Predator:Captured- and creating a New Game. Okays.. disclaimers out of the way: Let's go. Hope Cathal is, by no means, your average woman.With crippling traumas and mental health issues she does her best to navigate through life and survive hers everyday battles. After years of therapy and heavy medications, now in a new environment, where she has finally landed her dream Job and has been able to somewhat properly function as a Human for the last year. Paranoid and constantly expecting the unexpected she see herself inside a bloodbath hunt orchestrade by beings that apparently are crazier than her.
