The Crimson King had been sailing the seven seas for a long, long time. Its black and red flag created fear in everyone that saw it. Its captain had been a ruthless killer. The crew gave no mercy. People that were born on that ship, died on that ship. 

Warriors were raised. 

Pirates were born. 

A group of families came together, that was how it started. Among them were the Bassets, the Sharmas, the Mondrichs, and the Sharpes. They fought side by side. They raised each other's children. They worked as a family. 

People came and went. 

People fought and died. 

The captain had come from a long line of pirates. It was his family who had first bought the ship. His family who brought everyone else together. The first captain took the moniker, The Crimson King and, from then on, every captain after that went by the same name. That was, until, the most recent captain died, leaving behind only a daughter. 

There had been infighting on the ship for the first time since it first set sail. The older pirates refused to bow down to a young woman. They refused to call her The Crimson King. 

“She is a girl,” the older Basset had said, anger in his voice. He had always had a short fuse, quick to anger, even quicker to kill. “She knows nothing of leadership.”

“This life is no life for one like her,” the older Sharpe had said. 

“Leave her alone,” Mary responded. She was the only one that stood up for the girl. Always standing up for her. “She is our captain. We made a deal. Our families made a deal long ago.”

“She is right,” Simon said. He was her best friend, of course he would stand at her side.

“Be quiet, boy,” his father responded. Simon took a step back, his head lowered. “At least he knows his place,” Basset said to the girl. He spat at her. His vitriol was stronger than the tides. 

“Enough of this,” Will said. He was the only Mondrich left. He was the oldest of the children. They listened to him. “The Crimson King is dead. We have a new captain now.”

“I will never bow down to a child!” Basset said. He turned on Will, his hand raised. That was what he did. He had power over the children, he would use it if he had to. The old captain would not stand for it. The new captain wouldn’t either.

With a slash, his hand fell to the deck with a splat. His scream was louder than the crashing waves. He fell to his knees in front of the crew. She put his sword to his throat and with one slice, he fell to the ground, dead. 

“Does anyone else have any objections?” she asked as she cleaned her sword off on her shirt, bloodying the fabric that had only ever been clean. 

Theo, the younger Sharpe, let out a gasp. He had always been relatively soft hearted. He was good in a pinch. Always someone you wanted around. 

“I will not follow a tyrant,” the older Sharpe spat.

“Then you die,” she said. “Throw him overboard.”

Will and Simon were the ones that did it. It was quick and easy considering it came as such a surprise to the older man. 

“Anyone else?” she wondered. She looked over to Simon, surprised to see him smiling. There was a sense of relief in his eyes, something she had not ever seen before. His father’s presence had weighed over him for his entire life. That was over. She hazarded a look at Theo. He gazed out into the crashing waves as his father’s body got sucked under. 

“No,” Theo said quietly. “No, Captain.”

She gave him a small smile and a nod. They would speak later. It would be okay. 

See, that was the thing about growing up on a pirate ship. While the men went out and plundered, they left the women and children at home. They left them to raise themselves and take care of themselves. 

“All hail The Crimson Queen,” Will said with a smirk.

“Fuck that,” she responded with a smile. “I’m still King.”

And that was how the new Crimson King was born. A young girl, no older than fifteen with sea legs stronger than most men, whose sword was sharper, whose countenance was softer, but who was still ready for the fight. 

It was the dawn of a new age.

About ten years later

“Up, up, up!” Anthony shouted, banging on each door as he walked down the hallway. “The ship departs in two hours!”

“We are aware, Brother,” Benedict groaned as he pulled himself out of his room, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

“Does it matter if we are late?” Eloise asked as she yawned, finding her way out of her room as well. “The ship has been chartered for our family and our family only.”

“Our brother spares no expense, it seems,” Colin said as he met them in the entry hallway of their London house. 

Anthony huffed. “Well, it is not every day that you receive a letter from your mother saying she is remarrying.”

“And you intend to stop her,” Benedict said with a sigh.

“Of course not,” Anthony replied, rolling his eyes. This conversation had gone on for weeks. Violet had left the country, taking their three youngest siblings with her. She had grown tired of London, she had said. She wanted to visit a friend in Sierra Leone. They had left almost a year ago. One month ago, they received a letter from Violet. She was set to marry a man she had met there. Malcolm, his name was, Violet’s friend's nephew or something. To be honest, Anthony skimmed the letter after the news had been dropped.

Still, as it was, he was happy for his mother. Their father had died some time ago. She deserved to be happy. And he wanted to be there to see it. 

All of their trunks were being loaded into the extra carriage as they all met by the front door. Anthony looked around, narrowing his eyes. 

“Where is Daphne?”

“Primping for the trip,” Colin replied, making Benedict snort.

“I shall get her,” Benedict said.

“No, I’ll do it,” Colin said.

“I’m her favorite brother,” Benedict countered.

“Lies, I am. She said as much.”

Eloise rolled her eyes and turned toward the stairs. “DAPHNE!” she screamed. “YOU MUST MAKE HASTE!” With a sigh, she turned back around to her brothers, a smile on her face. “Should you think she heard me?”

“Good God,” Colin muttered under his breath. 

Daphne glided down the stairs with an air of superiority. She stuck her nose up at Eloise, a sigh leaving her. “You need not shout, you know?”

“If you were on time…” Eloise began.

“I am here now,” Daphne replied with a scoff. 

“And are you packed?” Anthony wondered.

“Of course, I am packed,” she scoffed. They all turned to see three footmen carrying three trunks down the stairs.

“It is a six day trip, Daph,” Colin said.

“Mama is getting married, I should like dresses to choose from,” she responded with an eye roll. She settled her gaze on Anthony. The room was silent. She shrugged. “Well, shall we?”

The Crimson King

Y/N stood on the deck of the ship. Her ship. The Crimson King. She wore the hat that had been passed down in her family from father to son for years. For generations. She was the first woman to ever wear it. Still, it fit well. It felt right. 

“Docking soon,” the quartermaster said as she approached Y/N. 

“I know,” the captain responded. “I can smell it.” The Quartermaster chuckled. Y/N rolled her eyes. “And you can’t?”

“I can,” she responded. Her face fell for a moment as she turned to the captain. “Are you sure about this?”

“Yes,” Y/N responded.

“Revenge is never as sweet as you think it will be.”

“They killed my father,” Y/N said. “They killed your father. They killed Will’s parents. They’re tyrants.”

“They’re pirates,” the quartermaster corrected.

“So are we,” the captain responded. She sighed. “I know what I’m doing, Kathani.”

“Oh, you’re pulling out the full name now?” she said with a chuckle. “It must be serious.”

“It is,” Y/N said. “The Burning Sea…bunch of twats. They think they can come through and steal whatever they want. They steal women, they steal children. They need to be taken down.”

“And following them on their suicide mission is the best way to get them?”

“They won’t be looking,” Y/N said. “They will be too busy looking forward. They don’t think anyone mad enough to follow them.”

“No one is mad enough,” Kate responded. “Well, except you.”

“Yes, except me,” Y/N responded with a laugh. “I will keep you all safe. You know that.”

“I know that,” Kate responded. She squeezed Y/N's shoulder and turned to her left. They were close to port. So close. “We’re here.”

Y/N turned around to address the crew. “You get one night!” she shouted at them. “We stock the ship first, then you can spend it how you wish.”

“To White’s then?” Simon asked Will.

Will smirked at his friend but was stopped when Alice approached them. “No, of course not,” he said, clearing his throat.

“Shame,” Alice said. “That’s the first place I’m headed.”

Simon whistled lowly as Alice walked by them. She straddled the rails of the ship, holding the rope tight between her hands. As the ship stopped, Will and Simon lowered the gangway. Alice jumped down first and tied up the ship. 

“Lower the anchor!” Y/N shouted.

“You don’t think I know that?” another voice came from under the deck. A head of familiar black hair poked out followed by exasperated eyes. “It is not my first day.”

“Little Eddy is growing up,” Y/N said with a joking pout of her lips.

“Shut up,” the girl said as she pulled herself up.

Kate gasped. “That is no way to speak to your captain, Edwina,” she said in a dramatic tone. 

Edwina rolled her eyes. “No, no, of course not. My apologies, Crimson King.”

Y/N smirked and wrapped her arm around Edwina’s neck, pulling her in for a rough hug. The girl swatted at Y/N's arm, shoving herself away. “First night on land in…how long?” the captain wondered.

“Too long,” Kate sighed. “It will take some time to learn to walk again.”

Edwina looked around. “Where is mum?”

“Knowing Mary, already halfway to the market,” Y/N replied. Sure enough, they could see Mary’s head of black hair bobbing through the crowded port as they made their way down the gangway. “How much do you want to bet she gets into a fight for the best medicine?”

“Sure fire way to lose money,” Kate said with a click of her tongue. 

-----------

“Ten barrels,” Y/N said to the merchant. She had been going back and forth with the man for what felt like hours. He wanted more money than it was worth, she wanted more gunpowder than she had money for. On and on and on. 

“Listen here, lassie—” the man started. He cut himself off when Y/N moved her jacket, revealing her gun. 

“Try that again,” she said with a smirk and a tilt of her head. “Ten barrels. I think you should throw in another for free. Don’t you?”

“Who are ye?” he wondered.

“Oh, who am I?” Y/N said with a chuckle. She looked around and ushered him closer with a crook of her finger. “I’m the Crimson King.”

The man’s eyes widened and he looked over to the dock to see her ship bobbing along in the water. “My apologies,” he said. “I didn’t know you was…”

“A woman?” she wondered. “Only been ten years,” she continued with a click of her tongue. She looked over to the deck hands that were trailing behind her. She threw a bag of coins on the table in front of the merchant. “They’ll take the barrels.” With that, she turned on her heels and made her way further down the dock and into town. She knew exactly where to find Kate. 

The blacksmith.

“You do not need another sword,” Y/N said as she leaned against the wooden post outside. Kate was inside, testing the balance.

“Of course, I do,” she said. “Who knows what we’ll get into out there.” She turned to the blacksmith. “How much?” she wondered.

The blacksmith looked between the two women, his eyes lingering on Y/N. He swallowed. “Free of charge.”

The captain smirked and tugged Kate away. “Your reputation precedes you,” Kate joked.

“A well-earned reputation.”

They continued on through the town, finding Edwina near the stall with parchment and quills. “I need a new compass caliper,” she said as they approached. She didn’t even need to turn around. Kate called it a sixth sense, Y/N called it bullshit. “The last one got destroyed when Greybone attacked the ship.”

“Oh, the Greybone that’s dead?” Y/N wondered with a smirk. Even though Edwina was turned away, both Kate and Y/N knew that she rolled her eyes. She handed the merchant her money and turned to take Kate’s arm.

“Have we gotten everything yet? I need a drink," Edwina said.

“Sebastian and Timothy are loading everything onto the ship as we speak. To White’s?” the captain wondered. Both Edwina and Kate agreed.

White’s was, in a word, a shit hole. It was a meeting ground for pirates. There was only one rule. No killing. Fighting was fine if it was outside but killing, that was against the rules. Everyone liked White’s too much to break it. In there, animosity between pirate crews did not matter. Unless the English showed up. Then they were free game. 

They were covered in rum and ale the second they walked in. Of course, that was normal. Pirates loved to say they could hold their drink but, in reality, they were as sloppy as the rest of them. 

“Ay, Crimson King,” the bartender said. Her name was Olly and truly one of Y/N's favorite people. She was quick with a comeback and even quicker with a gun. “On shore for the night?” she wondered. Y/N nodded, taking the tankards that were slapped down on the counter. She handed two off to Kate and Edwina. “Where you off to?”

“Oh, you know better than to ask me that, Olly,” Y/N replied with a wink. 

Olly chuckled and shooed the three women away as another customer approached the bar. They found a table at the very back so they could see all of the exits and, more importantly, all of the action.

“Cor,” Edwina groaned as she sat down. Both Kate and Y/N looked at her, confused. “Friedrich’s here.” Y/N smirked while Kate rolled her eyes. 

“Only one night, Eddy,” Y/N said with a wink. “Might as well get a leg over.”

Kate choked on her drink, clearing her throat. “Don’t speak about my sister that way.”

“Oi, she’s practically my sister too,” Y/N said. “And that is why I am heavily invested in her love life. I think you should say hello and…well, he’s already on his way over.”

Edwina took a large sip of her drink, some of the rum spilling over the side of her mouth. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand and turned to see Friedrich approaching them. 

“Edwina,” he said with a smile. Y/N always claimed he was much too pretty to be a pirate. He seemed too clean as well. Then again, that seemed to be the norm for the crew of The White Rover. They were more so adventurers than pirates, not that they’d ever claim to be so. 

“Friedrich,” she responded, her dimples deep in her cheeks as she smiled. “Fancy seeing you here.”

Both Kate and Y/N had to stifle their groans at her awkwardness. Friedrich simply laughed, his cheeks burning red from the heat of the room, the rum, and Edwina’s presence. “It has been some time.”

“Y-Yes,” she responded. “How…are you?”

“Oh, I am fine,” he responded. “And you.”

“Quite well.”

“For God’s sake,” Y/N whispered to Kate. She cleared her throat. “Oh, I see a friend. Kate, join me.” She grabbed Kate’s arm and tugged her out of her chair and clear across the room before Edwina could even blink. “That was painful.”

“So painful,” Kate said, bringing her tankard up to her lips. A giggle left her as she looked over Y/N's shoulder. “Joaquin’s here.”

“No,” Y/N said, her head falling back. Only a second later, the slimeball known as Joaquin approached them.

“Crimson King,” he said with a smirk. She had never given him her real name. And thank god for that. “You are looking mighty fetching tonight.”

“Drown,” she responded flatly and turned to leave. She heard Kate’s melodious laugh as she made her way out of the doors. “I hate him.”

“He is terrible,” Kate responded, her mouth pursed as she tried to hold back her laugh. “He is obsessed with you. Why don’t you…what was it? Get a leg over?” Her words had started to slur together and Y/N knew then that she had to catch up. She took two large gulps of her drink before responding. 

“Never in a million years,” she said. “I’ll tell you what. I discover the Fountain of Youth, I’ll let Joaquin lick my boot.”

Kate snorted, a bit of rum coming out of her nose. She coughed loudly and swiped at the liquid that dribbled down her face. “You deserve a break, Y/N/N.”

“I get my break at sea,” she said with a sigh. She leaned against the wall of White’s and took three large sips of her drink. She felt her entire body start to warm. It felt good. It felt nice. “Do you think I’m mad?” she wondered.

“Yes,” Kate responded instantly. She leaned against the wall beside the captain and sighed. “For following The Burning Sea?” she wondered. Y/N nodded. Kate shrugged. “Yes…No…It does not matter. The crew agrees with you. We know what we are risking and we know the reward.”

“Revenge is not a reward,” Y/N replied. “It is a curse.”

“Then we are all cursed,” Kate said. She took Y/N's hand and squeezed it. “There is more to it than plain revenge. He has the key.”

Y/N nodded. “Yes, he has the key.” She swallowed heavily. “Took it right from Father’s dead body before he tossed him into the drink. Bastard.”

“And you’ve been after it ever since,” Kate added. “This is the biggest lead we’ve gotten in ten years.”

Y/N nodded. “Still…it is completely mad, isn’t it?”

Kate snorted and nodded. “Yes, completely. Good thing we are all a little mad.”

The Whistledown

Eloise Bridgerton stood on the deck of The Whistledown, looking out over the water. It had apparently been a joke that the ship had been chartered for only their family. She had truly wondered how Anthony came to afford it. A joke played on her. 

It was fine, of course, but she had to share lodgings with her sister who spent hours getting ready for yet another day at sea. 

There were others aboard. Others from their same social class. Not many were going to Sierra Leone, but they would be dropped off at port along the way. She took a deep breath of the sea air and tried not to vomit from the bout of seasickness. It came and went. It was fine for right now. It would be back in full force later, she could only assume. 

It was the middle of the night so the ship was, at least, quiet. There were a few crew members here and there tending to the wheel and the sails. Eloise did not understand it at all. Colin was the one with sailing knowledge. He had gone on many adventures. That was why the seasickness did not get him no matter how badly she hoped it would. 

Curses did not work. 

They were not real. 

“Do you still feel ill?” a voice asked. Eloise was assaulted by the stench of cigar smoke. Usually, she did not mind it, but she was working with a rather sensitive stomach at that moment. 

“Ugh, please step away,” she groaned.

“Still at it, then,” Benedict said with a smirk. Eloise turned to see her brother all but laughing at her. 

“I hate you,” she said as she slumped against the side of the ship. She grabbed onto one of the ropes to steady herself. Thankfully, it was not attached to anything important or she might have screwed up the entire trip. 

“You love me,” Benedict teased.

“I would love you if you put that out.”

Benedict sighed and threw the cigar overboard. He turned and leaned against the side of the ship beside his sister. “Is this mad?” he wondered.

“Traveling to Sierra Leone to see our widowed mother marry a man we have never met?” Eloise wondered through groans of pain.

“Yes,” Benedict said with a slight chuckle.

“Perhaps,” Eloise responded. “Though, she seemed rather happy in her letter. I cannot remember the last time she appeared that happy.”

“Nor I,” Benedict replied with a sigh. “I fear I should have joined Colin on his travels. Might be more comfortable at sea.”

“Ugh, I will never be comfortable at sea,” Eloise said, turning over so she faced the crashing waves. Benedict patted her back with a slight smile. “How much longer?” she wondered.

Benedict winced. “We are halfway through our journey.”

“Damn it all to hell,” she replied.

“Quite,” Benedict agreed. 

“I wish it would go faster,” she said. “I want to be on solid ground again.”

Benedict opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted by the cracking of thunder. “Perhaps, we should get inside.” Eloise nodded and allowed him to usher her back to their quarters. 

They were not back in their beds for five minutes before all hell broke loose. 

The ship started to sway dramatically. Trunks and knick knacks flew across the rooms. Passengers were thrown out of their beds. 

“Hard to starboard!” someone shouted from above. 

Benedict was out first. He looked down the hall either way to see his siblings all stumbling out. 

“What is going on?” Anthony wondered. 

“It appears we are caught in a storm,” Colin said with a nonchalant shrug. “It happens sometimes.”

Another wave crashed and they all fell to the ground. “Does this happen?” Eloise wondered, her face turning a frightful color of green.

“Er…no,” Colin said. 

“Lower the sails!” someone else shouted from above.

“Perhaps, they need assistance,” Colin said.

Anthony rolled his eyes and put his hand on Colin’s shoulder, halting him. “I am sure they know what they are doing.”

“Batten down the hatches!”

There weren’t that many passengers aboard anymore, but the ones that were left all exited their rooms. Colin took it upon himself to assure everyone that they would be fine. 

That appeared to be said too soon. 

Everything was not fine. 

Not fine at all. 

------------

The Crimson King - Three Days Later

Y/N knew that she was mad. At least a little bit. They had a plan. But, as Kate often loved to tell her, revenge wasn’t a plan. So they planned around the revenge. That would just be a bonus at the end of the day. They were doing what was, in their minds, a service to The Crown. See, they were pirates, of course they were, but the crew of The Burning Sea? They were tyrants. They were power hungry. They were the worst kinds of people. They had no code. 

They had been ousted from The Republic of Pirates years ago. They had killed The Crimson King and many of his crew mates in cold blood. They could find no motive behind it. Pirates didn’t follow the law, of course, but they had a code. And The Burning Sea had broken it. Malachai had broken it. 

He was the captain. The one who had killed Y/N's father. The one who had killed Kate and Edwina’s father. The one who had killed Will’s parents. He was blood thirsty. He was a threat. 

Y/N would have been fine letting him go—well, not fine, but amenable—if he had not taken something important to her. He had taken the key. She wasn’t really sure what it was for. She never had been. It was mostly a myth, from what she had been told. But it had belonged to her mother. 

She wanted it back. 

She would do whatever she could to get it back. 

They kept their distance. They had their heading. 

It was the best lead they had been given in ten years. A lead that came from a trusted ally. Well, relatively trusted. Y/N knew better than to trust pirates. But they all hated The Burning Sea. They all hated Malachai and they knew that if anyone was going to take him out, it would be The Crimson King. 

Once and for all.

“Avast!” Edwina shouted from the crow’s nest. They all looked up at her to see her pointing to the west. She had a telescope. She had always had the best eye. 

Y/N ran to the side of the ship and looked over. There was a broken and battered ship amongst the rocks. The paint seemed fresh. They had sailed through there a few times and there had been no wreckage. It was new.

Edwina climbed down and ran to Y/N. “I saw people on deck.”

Y/N quirked a brow. “Alright?”

“It is a passenger vessel.”

“I am struggling to see your point,” the captain said.

Edwina sighed. She turned to Kate as she approached the pair of them. “We must rescue them,” Edwina urged.

Kate outright laughed at that. “It is an English ship, Bon.”

“There are innocent passengers aboard.”

“How do you know they are innocent?” Y/N wondered.

Edwina sighed heavily. “Well, I do not.”

“Exactly,” the captain nodded. “We cannot lose The Burning Sea.”

“We know where they are going,” Edwina argued. “We cannot even see them over the horizon. We could have already lost them by now!”

Y/N rolled her eyes. She turned to her quartermaster. “What do you think?”

Kate was looking off to the side, thinking intently. “We would lose an hour, at least.”

“Exactly—”

“However,” Kate continued, making Y/N sigh heavily. “They could have supplies on the ship that would be worth taking.” That made the captain smirk with intrigue. “We have a long trip ahead of us and it seems like a fully stocked English ship.”

“Didi!” Edwina crowed. “What about the passengers?”

“What about them?” Kate wondered with a smirk. 

So it was decided. Y/N, Kate, Simon, Will, and Sebastian were to take a tender over to the wreckage, hoping they didn’t crash in the meantime. Kate and Y/N were the ones to arm themselves with weapons. The men took what they had with them, thinking nothing of it. It was an English passenger vessel, they were not expecting to have to fight anyone off. 

The captain thought that was a bad strategy on their part. They were in pirate waters. Anyone could come through with cannons if they wanted to and take whatever was left. A more sadistic crew would take the people as well. Y/N had no plans to do that. None at all. 

They climbed onto the deck to find it empty. Whoever Edwina had seen had probably gone to hide when they saw them approach. That was smart of them, Y/N thought. If they were smart enough, they would stay hidden. 

“Search below deck,” she said to Simon and Kate. “I will take the Captain’s quarters. Will, Sebastian, start compiling anything you think will be useful.” They all nodded and went off in their ordered directions. 

Y/N let out a low whistle when she found the Captain’s Quarters. They were nice. Nicer than anything she had ever seen. The furniture was sleek, wooden, and gilded with gold. There were maps and papers everywhere that Y/N did not concern herself with. Well, not at first. Then she saw the passenger manifest. That might come in handy. She folded it up and stuck it in her waistband before she continued her search. 

There was a large decanter of brandy which she took, taking swigs as she made her way around the room. 

There were countless books, which seemed to be too many for a simple passenger vessel. Then again, the captain probably just went back and forth forever. She looked through the titles, grabbing a few that stuck out to her. 

It wasn’t often that pirates knew how to read, but her entire crew knew how to. Mary had made sure of it. 

Y/N had just gotten into searching the cabinets when she was called down to the deck. “Captain!” Simon shouted. She heard the struggle so she, reluctantly, set the decanter of brandy down and made her way out of the Captain’s Quarters. There she saw her crew corralling six passengers. 

They were all kneeling on the deck, held at gunpoint. 

“Well, well, well,” Y/N said with a smirk as she saw the disheveled appearance of what appeared to be six members of high society. “Eddy was right,” she said, looking at Kate. “There were survivors.”

“Who are you?” one of them asked. 

Y/N cocked her head and Kate pressed her gun to the man’s forehead. “You will speak to The Crimson King with respect.”

“Kathani,” Y/N hissed. The woman stepped back, but did not lower her gun. The man’s head fell forward from shock. 

He cleared his throat. “You are pirates.”

“Well spotted,” the captain replied. “And you are…travelers?”

“A storm caused us to crash,” another man said. He looked fairly similar to the man who had spoken before. Family. Brothers, perhaps. 

“And where is the rest of the crew?” Y/N wondered.

The same man continued to speak. “They took a pinnace to the nearest port for help.”

Y/N hummed. “And how long ago did they leave?”

“Two days ago,” he responded.

The captain chuckled under her breath. “The nearest port is less than a day away. Sorry to say…they left you here.”

“They wouldn’t,” the original man said. “They took some remaining passengers as well. They took Miss…” he started, then stopped. Either he forgot the woman’s name or he did not want to reveal her identity. It didn’t matter either way.

“My sisters and mother,” the woman responded. She had vibrant curly red hair and rosy cheeks. She seemed to be on the verge of tears, but held them back well. 

“Tell me…Do you think they would come back for you?”

The woman swallowed and shook her head. “No.”

“Exactly,” Y/N responded with a sigh. She turned to Will. “Have you found anything useful?”

“Medicine, gunpowder, and flour,” he said. 

“How full is the tender?” she wondered.

“Full,” he nodded.

Y/N clicked her tongue and shrugged. “Well, that’s that, then. I do so hope someone comes to rescue you.” With that, she turned.

“Wait!” one of the men said, the original man. 

Kate stepped up to him and stuck her gun to his head again. Through clenched teeth, she hissed. “Down.”

He did as she bade, swallowing heavily as he got to his knees again. “Please, just take my sisters with you. Take the women.”

Y/N chuckled as she turned back around. “Why would I do that? You are of noble birth, I am assuming.” He nodded. “What skills do any of you have that will help us? We have been sailing these seas our entire lives. You are just unnecessary weight.” She turned to Kate. “Come, we are losing time.”

“We can pay you,” he said.

“I have no need for your money,” Y/N said with a huff of laughter. 

“Captain,” Simon said, urging her to the side. With a sigh, Y/N followed after him. 

“What?” she hissed. 

“We could use more hands,” he said. “We are sailing into treacherous waters.”

“I am well aware of that, Simon,” she said. “What good will they do? They are just more mouths to feed.”

“My brothers and I are skilled with combat,” the man said. 

Y/N's head fell back with a groan. “Actual combat or fencing?”

“Fencing…” he murmured. 

Y/N shook her head with a laugh. “I can see you are desperate. But, we have our heading. If we were just sailing, I would maybe drop you off at the next port, but we do not have that kind of time.”

“Please,” he said with a breath. 

Y/N looked down the line of people. Three men, brothers. Three women. One of them had brown hair, obviously related. The other must have been their other sister. She, like the redheaded woman, seemed to be on the verge of tears, she did not let them fall though. They seemed tired. All of them seemed tired. Tired and fearful. There was a part of Y/N, the part that brought on poor, stranded children to save, that wanted to help them. But they were not poor. They were stranded, yes, but odds were someone would notice they were gone soon enough. They would have the entire English fleet searching for them in a few days time if they were as important as they acted.

“Eddy would want us to,” Kate said quietly. 

Y/N quirked her brow at the woman. “And you? Do you think we should?” She made sure to keep her voice low enough that the others would not hear her. She trusted Kate’s opinion above all others. Well, Simon maybe, but he seemed to want to save them and Y/N really did not want to. 

“Theo could use hands in the kitchens. I know Mary could use help as well. We have a small crew, Y/N/N. We have enough food.”

Y/N seemed surprised. “What changed? Why do you want to save them now?” Kate did not respond. “It is because they are real and not just ideas now, isn’t it?” The woman nodded. Y/N sighed heavily. “This is why I am the captain. You cannot make decisions with your head.”

“And you refuse to make decisions with your heart,” Kate argued. 

“Why would I?” Y/N scoffed. “It leads to pain and nothing more.”

Kate’s eyes were so expressive. She was all but pleading with her friend. Y/N sighed heavily and looked away, not able to look in Kate’s eyes anymore. Her desperate eyes. Her begging eyes.

Y/N turned on her heel. “Up,” she ordered. They all got to their feet. “You say you have experience fencing?” she wondered, asking the man. He nodded. “Any experience at sea?”

“I have traveled some,” the other man who had spoken before said. They were all starting to look so similar. Y/N really needed to ask them their names. It was easier not to when she had planned on killing them. 

“Are you good with knots?”

“Yes,” he nodded immediately.

“Good,” Y/N said. She moved onto the arrogant man who had spoken first. “Have you used a gun?” He nodded. “Powder Monkey.”

“W-What?” he asked, confused. 

“Run gunpowder, prepare cannons, if necessary.”

“Oh, okay…”

“Okay…” Y/N said with a chuckle. She turned towards the brown haired girl. She had yet to speak. Her face was rather green. Either fear or seasickness. “You. What are your skills?”

She chuckled nervously. “I am an avid reader, your…grace? Majesty…?”

“Captain,” Y/N interjected with a quirk of her lips. 

“I…can make tea.”

“You can…make tea…” Y/N repeated slowly.

“Yes…” she said with another nervous chuckle.

Y/N rolled her eyes. “Kitchens.” Then she went to the other sister that seemed to stop crying the moment Y/N walked up to her. 

“I can sew,” she said, unprompted. She had a good head on her shoulders. She just seemed overwhelmed.

Y/N nodded. “Alright then. We need someone to tend to the sails. And you…” she said to the redhead that had been abandoned by her family. “Honestly, I feel a bit sorry for you.”

The woman sniffled. “I have…excellent penmanship.”

“Christ,” Y/N muttered under her breath. “They really teach you women nothing, do they?”

“Oh, not at all,” the brown haired girl said. 

Y/N's lips quirked. “We shall figure something out. And…last but perhaps least. You.” She stopped at the last name. Definitely related to the other two but seemed to have a softer face. He was silent. Stoic. He did not seem scared at all. He seemed…intrigued, rather. She narrowed her eyes. “I am assuming you know how to use a gun and a sword?”

“Yes,” he nodded.

Y/N tilted her head. “Show me your hands.”

He furrowed his brow, but did so. Y/N flipped them over, seeing black streaks. “Gunpowder or charcoal?”

“Charcoal,” he replied.

“And how is your sense of direction?”

“Mentally or emotionally?” he responded.

There was a sound of amusement in the back of Y/N's throat that she swallowed down. “Navigation.” She stepped back and placed her hands behind her back.

“Well…that is it then. Welcome to the crew of The Crimson King. Weigh us down and drown.”

PALESTINIAN LITERATURE READING LIST

PALESTINIAN BUSINESSES

-last updated 11/3/24-

[rayisthehoe]

tbh this might be controversial but as someone VERY pro palestine so many fellow anti zionists are out of touch as fuck.

first: stop treating bisan like she's beyonce she just wants to be a normal person safe at home. of course give her a platform and a voice but stop acting like she's the next taylor swift that very clearly makes her uncomfortable.

second: a shit ton of yall are out of touch about the boycotts. of course, please boycott as much as you can but if youre harassing a starbucks or mcdonalds worker who doesn't even want to work there and is on the brink of homelessness, who inst privileged enough to just quit, you are not the good person you think you are. just because you are financially okay doesn't mean other people can just cut their only source of income especially with how bad the economy is. that's helping no one.

2.5: PLEASE stop telling people under the age of 18 who depend on their parents (who don't respect boycotts) that they should starve instead of eating if their parents get mcdonalds or dominos? like of course boycotting is one of if not the most important resource, but those kids arent CHOOSING to break boycotts thats not their choice some parents just don't listen. kids need to fucking eat and no sane activist or palestinean would want ANOTHER child to go without food.

instead of bullying poor people please actually do things that benefit palestine
