"Pirates are just an old children's story." I shrug, "You cannot be a pirate. Pirates aren't real."
The stranger laughs, "Where are you from?"
"A little village way up North, Mother was very protective after my Father passed on." I lie smoothly.
"Why do want to join my crew?"
I can't very well tell him I'm on a mission for my King and he ordered me to join a ship's crew sailing towards the tropics.
"To escape my matchmaking Mother." I reply.


Edward Villiers, known to his crew as Captain Ed and to his enemies as Blue Bilius Capain of the Grey Ghost, is a pirate captain. He must have been deep in his cups because the new sailor he just hired on is actually a woman. How is he supposed to explain this one to his crew? And more importantly, what is the blasted female doing seeking passage on a Pirate ship anyhow? And why doesn't she believe in pirates?

For Arethusa Medusa this voyage is a mission, one that she was chosen for by her King. She doesn't consider herself to be anyone special; just a rather ordinary second daughter of a Lord, she did well in all her studies aside from dancing (her mother insisted). Of course, Arethusa doesn't really believe the ship is she on is an actual pirate ship, her mother always told her Pirates were just a scary story told to little children who misbehaved, it's not like she's ever even see the sea before, how was she to know that Pirates are real?

Oceanum Collis by Jay25211

"Let me prove to you I am unlike them." Thousands of years ago, there was a faraway land called Oceanum Collis. Many different people lived among each other in peace. Elves, mermaids, werewolves, and humans. After fighting hundreds of wars, the people came to a compromise and started to work together. Realms were united and civilization was born. Oceanum Collis was beautiful and peaceful, but with light comes darkness. The humans felt left out. While the others had magic and great strengths, they were nothing special. A young man, Basil Adelio, found that humans deserved more than to be farmers. But there was more to his plan. He was after the throne, so he could rule all over Oceanum Collis. Together, the magical creatures were able to stop him. The humans left the lands, leaving behind everything they had built. The alliance between the four people was broken. The elves and mermaids tried to rebuild their alliance, but without the werewolves it was impossible. And so the three different people parted, hardly talking to one another ever again. Now, one hundred years later, a new realm has been created. It was separated from the other realms by a large wall. A new leader has risen from the shadows. He believed that the outside world was filled with dangerous things. So, he made sure everyone stayed within the walls of the empire. And those who didn't were never heard of again. As others always looked away, a young man called Orlando, always glanced beyond the wall. One day, he's able to see what's behind the wall for himself instead of hearing stories. A new world lies ahead of him, but it might not be as beautiful as he had hoped. A/n: Hey guys! So this is an original story. Please, do not copy the story or use my characters without my permission. I've taken a long time to set this all up. Thank you! And love you all! -Jay25211💜💜
Lillian's Mercy: King slayer by MarvelousMisery
24 parts Complete Mature
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.

Y/n wakes up on a deserted island, her mind a blank canvas with no memory of what happened prior to her arrival, or what led up to her washing up on this island. She encounters three pirates, one of which takes it upon himself to guide her to their nearest habitable territory. The adventure alone influences her to set out to sea when she's of age. God, does everyone have to want to recruit her? Marines, pirates, illegal organizations, but never mind that, the time comes, and of course she has to encounter the most obnoxious guy on the seas. Can't ignore the fact he's hot, either. She sticks around for the giggles and shits until she's called in for a favour and probably'll never see the guy again. Don't gotta worry about that 'cause the shithead pops right back up eight months later and almost blows her cover. desc is rough but I promise the book isn't ALSO ON AO3!!!
