"How dare you bring me aboard this ship without so much as telling me what you are?" She yelled.
Kincade let out a smug grin, one that infuriated Astryd even more. She took a few more steps toward him so that they were mere feet apart.
He looked down at a doubloon he was holding and slowly turned it over in his hands as he spoke. "I saw a troubled woman in a sailor's pub, obviously hiding from the royal guards. Surely you must have gotten yourself into a sticky situation. And you don't expect me to assume what you are?"
Astryd fumbled for words. What was he getting at?
He lifted his head to look her in the eyes. "You're a thief and now a sailor. You know what that makes you, sweetheart?"
"I am not a..." she shouted, but she stumbled at the last word. She pointed her finger in Kincade's face and whispered, "pirate."

SHORTLISTED FOR WATTYS 2022 What should have been an easy payday for a band of British privateers turns into a desperate fight for survival when they find a young woman in the wreck of a schooner. Life is unforgiving for any privateering ship fighting in the Queen Anne's War, but of all the leaky tubs on the Caribbean sea, the brigantine ship, Scourge, and her crew have been dealt a pretty rotten hand.

Down on their luck and desperate for their next prize, the crew's prayers are answered when a burning ship, bursting with unclaimed loot, crashes into the shore nearby.

Horizon: The Curse Of The Black Pearl (POTC Fanfiction - Jack Sparrow)
"Sometimes, the thing you need most is right under your nose." -Captain Teague - (Book 1) - Hello, I'm Annika Hesture, a lass, a pirate who was very KINDLY forced into working with some dirty scumbag called Jack Sparrow. The idiot had lost his ship, The Black Pearl, to Barbossa, his arch enemy. Jack had forced me to help him in his plan to, I quote, 'commandeer' a ship, pick up a crew in Tortuga and steal back his Pearl. I wasn't sure about it at first, in fact, I despised Jack more than anything; that airhead was a traitor to me and the entire population of the female species! But as time went on, I started to become comfortable with him and realised that this adventure could actually be quite... Interesting... - Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN ^.^ Only Annika and a bit of the storyline which I twisted to fit the fanfic :) AND YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG THAT FRONT COVER TOOK ME ;-; why must life be so difficult?

Lillian's Mercy: King slayer
I woke up in a daze, unsure of why my body felt so stiff, so sore. I winced as I threw my legs over the side of the bed, and again as I stood up, pain flaring from every muscle in my body as I made my way to the polished mirror beside my wardrobe. I gasped at the sight of the bruised and battered girl in front of me. The memories from last night flooded my mind. It was my birthday. Father had invited several high class guests to the event. He expected me to begin courting. The man he had introduced me to was a plump old man. I had refused adamantly, his years against my fourteen churned my stomach. Unfortunately, my father didn't take my refusal well. He grabbed me by the arm roughly and dragged me into the attic-my bedroom. His beatings were getting worse. At least the last time i t hadn't taken much effort to hide the pain. This time that wouldn't be possible. This time, there would be no hiding it. This time the pain was too much. I whimpered as I headed to the door, but it was locked. It seems my father had predicted my state. Rage and anger burned through my veins as I slammed my fist against the door. One day I would learn to defend myself. One day I would escape this wretched castle. One day I would no longer be bound by the Caspian people. One day I will no longer be their princess. "I will get away from here, and you will pay for what you've done old man." I vowed before slamming my fist against the door again. "I will be free." I huffed as I crawled back into the bed for some much needed rest.Complete
Masked ✔
* * * "...Why are you following me?" I only muttered in case no one was really there. I didn't want any surrounding people to think I was crazy and just imagining someone behind me. "I didn't even get a thank you." To my surprise, there was a response. Slightly horrified, I spun around to look my rescuer in the eyes. Scratch that. In the mask. He was wearing a mask. * * * Saved from a rapist by a pirate. At first, Vivienne sees pirates as scums. She believes all of them are full of greed. Well, Vivienne isn't completely wrong. But when she accidentally boards a pirate ship belonging to the Masquerade Messes, her entire life takes a turn. Perhaps for the better, perhaps for the worse... either way, Vivienne occupies her time by trying to identify her rescuer. He's a part of the crew, but the only time he appears is during the masquerade parties. She tries to figure out who he is, but she struggles badly. He's just always masked. * * * //completed as of 12/15/16//Complete
Starstruck || Armin Arlert x Original Character (OC)
Astra, a name written in the stars- another root of "Astronomy". The girl was made of hypothetical stardust, and the passion from a woman who wished to see the night sky. This is her journey across her own dark canvas one- that you may call her life. === "You're leaving tomorrow morning, aren't you?" Armin hummed in response. He then turns his head to face her, "Yeah, I'm sorry.." She shook her head with a smile. "No, no. Don't say sorry.." Astra sat up, and he followed suit- she raised her pinky and grinned, "How about we promise each other to send letters? And we have to update each other on what stars we see that night." He lightens up at the declaration, he nods in response, and hooks his pinky with hers. "I solemnly swear to write to Astra the Star Maiden-" "Knight!" she corrected. "-The Star Knight, and to talk about what stars I see once it is nighttime." Astra giggles before saying her vow, "And I solemnly swear to write to Armin the Sea Prince, and to talk about what stars I see once it is nighttime." === OC x Canon Fanfic This is cross-posted on Ao3 (Thanato_Phobia) All Rights to Attack on Titan characters belong to Isayama, this is a work of fanfiction.
Not All Treasure is Silver and Gold
I think I'm gonna revise this to mature a little more lol Story 1 of Pirates of the Caribbean Jessica Williams is a well profound pirate. her name is known to most places on land and sea. At least it used to be before she disappeared for a decade. Her mother being a fallen Pirate Lord, her father being a fallen Commodore left her an orphan at the age of 17. That didn't slow her down. She made a name for herself in her ruthlessness, saving no mercy for any gender or rank. Along her life she got herself into a spat with Davy Jones on the seas, interfering with souls he was trying to collect by force. She said it was an imbalance to the natural order but he in turn nearly killed her..Tia Dorma nursed her back to health when she found Jessica washed up on the shores of her island. Her entire crew had been killed and she was left barely alive. So Tia Dorma decided to held her in exchange for her beating heart. Jessica didn't understand at the time, and claimed she had no use for it so she could happily take it. Everyone she ever cared about was dead anyways so what did she need it for? However, Tia said there was much about a human heart that she had yet to lean and she would only give the heart back once it heals and Jessica could "properly utilize it" whatever the hell that meant.. Until then Tia would put a spell on Jessica. She couldn't die until something in Jessica stirred that cold heart of hers..read to see more! (Story was made in 2010 so I'll probably be editing as I post chapters!)Complete

At an all boys school. Entering an all boys competition. With a crew of all boys. You'd have to be one special girl. "You're a virgin." "Shut it Hazar." She spat. "C'mon, admit it for once Writt, you are an undeniable virgin." He scoffed. "Why do you care so much if I am or not?" She challenged him. He hesitated. But not for long. "I don't. I just like watching you squirm." "Oh that's a hobby of yours? Making girls squirm in agony of having to speak to you?" She was so fed up with him. "Well..." He mumbled, walking to an old portrait and running his finger along the dusty rim of it, "Making them squirm, period, is a particular interest of mine." "You're pathetic." She barked. He walked up to her, a few feet away from her body. "Say that again..." He hummed, in a faint whisper. "You're. Pathetic." She sharply cursed. He smirked, devilishly. "No Writt," Cas stepped into her space, nose inches away from hers, he took his right hand and dragged it up her thigh, "Virgins... are pathetic." He finished the sentence at her hipbone. Lily's breath caught as he ran it up her leg, she didn't like physical touch. From anyone. So why on Marine, did it feel so good, so right, when he did?Complete
