There is nothing worse for a pirate than dying on dry land. Except, maybe, swinging two feet above it. 

When their captain is imprisoned, facing the gallows, the men and women of the Lady Lesya's crew will try everything to break him out--even if it means fighting guards in ridiculous uniforms, bargaining with overweight monsters, and risking the life of the more or less innocent. 

Add vengeful local thugs, a mysterious killer with a grudge, and some unexpected ghosts to this already perilous task, and the streets of Puerto Seguro turn into a bloodbath.

To get out of the town alive, the brethren of the coast will have to act not just as a crew, but as a family.

___________________

As it's a pirate story not created by Disney, expect strong language, violence, gore, and allusion to sex. But also humor, strong characters, and a touch of love.

The story, three years and a half in the making, is now complete (and under revision).

Rapture [Ver. II] •SNEAK PEEKS INSIDE• by athenamaddox
15 parts Ongoing Mature
"Those who so closely served their falsely gilded kings told the common people that the killings were some sort of Rapture," he said scornfully, poison thick on his tongue. "But what really happened on that day was what we called a Bloodletting. To cut into the veins and draw out the sullied blood so that the body may live. That is their Rapture. So when the wealthy mainlanders scorn us to our rotting moors and shackle us in the chains tarnished of our brothers and sisters blood, remember that the royal killings were a mercy to the common man, and not to their poisonous kings-a gift from our gods. Not theirs." ... After desecrating a lawless holy site and being marked for death by thieves' gods before being so much as conscious, Finn is forced to sign his life away to the pirates who found him-because Finn and their captain have something in common. Both are marked by a tattoo that could get them killed by anyone who would discover it. Bound by the honor of a mark he can't remember anything about, and a life debt to the pirates, Finn is quickly taken under the begrudging Captain North's wing. But, when his name echoes in the pirate haunts with talks of a bounty, the pirates are keen to cash in-only to find out that more than just this tattoo links them together. They have a common enemy, too. Someone who will stop at nothing to measure them both for chains. Finn and Captain North are forced to depend on each other if they want to survive the hunt and protect their secrets, but with promises of revenge and memories of the past lurking behind their shoulders, there's no telling if they'll survive-and whether or not they'll have any coin to show for it.
The Huntress ✓ by witchoria

(EDITORS PICK) In the bloody, ruthless, and decidedly uncouth world of 17th century pirates, can a woman deceive even those closest to her and survive? Bronte is forced to make some tough decisions about her life and livelihood at far too tender an age in a time and place when options for women are few. Port Royal, Jamaica, in the 17th century is only a good place to be if you're a pirate. And so, a pirate she is. A pirate's life is precarious enough without the added burden of hiding one's sex. But, if she is to survive, hide it she must. Lucien's father wishes him to take over the family merchant business but Lucien feels God has a different path; he longs to use his medical knowledge to help the less fortunate in the Caribbean. Just as he is about to embark on his God-given task, a certain pirate spoils his plans. Is he wrong about the path God has for him? Lucien is forced to work for his father and delay his plans until he can hunt down the pirate who thwarted him. He is sure he's a match for anything the pirates dish out but soon realizes he's gotten more than he bargained for and it just may cost him his life... ⭐️ Featured in Editors Pick 9/2020 Cover by @Azanthiel

The Ballads of The Skeleton Crew by TroubadourVILever
31 parts Ongoing
The boy had never been scourged by dread, not really, untouched still of startling agony to become his reality. He spotted the imposing cliffside meaning to change that by mere accident, kept in defiant remembrance still of this heavenly music descended upon Earth from Heaven, magnificent, majestic and entrancing, this blue ship which had came last night to conjure mystery and great brilliance vibrating with splendor and glory born, like summer sunshine brought unto gloomy night, unlike anything ever heard of. He paused in thought to look at what was dangling from these rocketed walls, instilled immediately by mortal agony. What encountered him there was awful, horrific, spun from his nightmare to turn to atrocious truth. They left a message for him, these strangers, a message for all mankind. All the people from the town were nailed on the colossal rock with obsidian spikes the size of fists, hidden in the darkness as horror always lurked there within. Blood, everywhere. The spikes ripped skin open, tore their bodies apart to let it be a grotesque image, the self-portrait of Death itself. Stiff pale limbs, grossly tangled together, a myriad of heads decorating empty space. A few mutilated legs and arms lay motionless on the bottom of it, of the mere terror, the waves had yet to reach and clean the crime scene, crimson rocks and red sand carnation furthermore. The details swam and blurred his view. He was thankful, for a glimpse sufficed a lifetime. When the dark ship came, it didn't only warn the people of the Destruction following behind, they carried it themselves, bestowing it willingly and with intent, purpose, unknown and arbitrary as it may seem regardless. People rumored among their crowds that they were in fact the cause, the real Bringer of Death. The Harbingers of Cruelty. The Black Squad, Side of Doom. Known perhaps better by their most famous name, the Skeleton Crew. _ updated irregularly, because life is hard
