Journal of a Sky Pirate

A steampunk novel in which Lilith Brightly is adjusting to life as a sky pirate on the ship Maverick. But the riches she was promised don't seem to be anywhere in sight. What, with the British Royal Navy on their tail, a podsnappery rival pirate who is interested only in his own arrogance and money, and a mysterious third party who keeps following at a distance. Well it can't be all fun and games, can it?
Steampunk, put simply, is a science fiction genre typically set in Victorian England with steam-powered futuristic technology.
Note: I will be using Victorian era slang/terms and some of the social standings and customs will be the same as Victorian times. They will not usually be politically correct. Get over it. Back then they weren't politically correct. I will try to write a bit at the bottom of the chapters about said customs and views. Don't be offended.

Tempest
An unlikely stow-away is caught stealing food from the galley of one notoriously known Captain Sera Wright. When the crew begins debating the fate of the young woman, will the captain go along with it? Or step in and make a decision that will change their lives forever? *Belle French from Once Upon a Time is a main contender in this work. However, it is my take on her character, and she is not the Belle from Storybrooke. She is from the Wish Realm (just go with it). This is a fanfiction based around situations and characters from the show Once Upon a Time. I do not own anything that comes from the show. Sera Wright is my character, and NO ONE has my permission to use her, or her name. **This is a collection of scenes involving two characters, Belle and an Orginal Character of my creation. Sera is mine. Steal her and I will hunt you down. Sera's crew of misfits are also mine. Steal them, and Todd will keelhaul your sorry self. ***This is a companion piece to accompany a roleplay I write with a friend. Therefore elements have been changed. It was written for fun. If you don't like same-sex couples, original characters, or non-canon events, then take a hike, because I can just about guarantee you won't like this. ****This story will contain graphic depictions of a sexual nature as well as the following: Violence, gore, medical practices and childbirth. There will be a warning at the top of each chapter that contains these, as not all of them will. As always, I want to thank anyone and everyone for reading, voting and commenting. The dedication of my readers is astounding and a true blessing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.Complete
