Katherine Hadwell was just trying to make some money with a job at Barnes & Noble in the summer of 1932. What she got instead was a steady friendship with James and his best friend Steve, and a job for the rest of her High School career. She never would’ve guessed that meeting the slugger who constantly annoyed her during her shift every week would completely change the course of her future.

James Buchanan Barnes is an avid reader, and also the legacy to Barnes and Noble—founded by his Grandfather. He hates the aspect of having to inherit his Grandfather’s business. However, he can’t help spending so much time in the store itself—not when Katherine Hadwell is the one working there.

TSS-Chapter 2: Our Hearts Belong to The Sea

Summary: I'm having too much fun writing sea shanties y'all

“So how many crew members-” Jo started to ask. “I like to call us all The Sirens or The Siren Crew or The Siren’s Crew… Honestly, any of those-” You rambled on.

“But if we’re being honest that’s all for formalities, you’re a part of the family now, Jo.” Alex gave the girl a pat on the shoulder.

“What were you asking?” You asked, turning around.

“Oh, I was just wondering… how many… family members are on this ship?” Jo asked.

“Oh! Time for introductions! Alright everyone, line up! Line up!” you clapped your hands and all thirty-two crew members, counting Kate and the fat black cat that took care of the pests on board lined up, and you started going down the line.

“This is Cookie, she’s the cook on this ship, if you find anything that can be somewhat edible, she’ll whip it up into a five-star dish!” you announced. (Did pirates use five stars? No, I don’t think so but shut up it’s ok).

Cookie gave Jo a firm shake and gave a warm smile, Jo smiled back.

Ok so now there’s going to be a huge info dump section, why did I create so many characters? Because they’re fun to make and I googled how many people pirate ships had and it said 15-200 so I thought 30 was good… Let me be, but yeah you can look at the character master list and just skip this chapter if you want, I will be VERY brief at introducing everyone and I will flesh out their characters more as the story progresses.

“And here we have Lilith ‘The She Devil’ Wilson, she’s in charge of anything that can sink a ship to the murky depths below.”

“I also kill people!” She exclaimed proudly.

“...I kind of assumed so.” Jo pointed out, Lilith cackled as they pulled Jo into a hug, she looked over at you.

“I like this one! She has…” they searched for a word. “...fire!” she finally finished.

“I’m glad you think that Lilith.” you led Jo over to Rita, who pulled her into a hug.

“I’m Rita Hernandez, responsible for provisions and overall quality of life here, if you need to talk to anybody, my door is always open… This is my son, Carlos, and my adopted daughter, Pepa.” Rita gestured to the small boy who clutched her hand, and the girl next to her who was playing with a butterfly knife, she offered her hand out to Jo.

“How do ya do? The name’s Pint-Sized Pepa, how old are you?” she asked.

“Sixteen,” Jo answered.

“...Ok we can be friends,” Pepa concluded.

“I like your hair…” Carlos muttered into Rita's skirt, Jo laughed at her hair… it was a mess.

“Thank you, Carlos,” she told the little boy.

“This is our navigator, Gwen Stacy-” you continued.

“I’m the best navigator in the seven seas.” Gwen held out her hand proudly, Jo shook it.

“That’s a relief,” Jo replied, Gwen smiled at that.

“Here are the Tanaka sisters, Suki and Akira-” “We are SO happy to meet you! My sister and I are overjoyed to have a new member of the family!” Akira pulled Jo into a hug, Suki stayed silent, sharpening her Katana, she didn’t look happy to see Jo.

“Don’t worry, she’s always like that.” You reassured Jo. “And here we have Sunny Anne and Glade Hadwell.” “We are going to have so much fun together!” Sunny Anne exclaimed.

“The pirating life isn’t supposed to be fun, it’s dangerous.” Glade countered.

“Glade, honey can you please just let me have this one?” Sunny asked.

Glade sighed and gave a curt nod.

“Now this bunch came from a traveling circus, we managed to get them out of that horrid situation.” you gestured to Melody, Hattie, Beastie, and Petra. Who all waved.

“Here’s Scarlett-” you gestured to the fiery redhead, who gave a flirtatious wink.

“Sparrow, Agatha, Priya, Stormy, Dalia, Peggy, Xiran, Abuela, and you’ve already met Anya.” you introduced, Jo gave a small wave.

“And Lonnie, Mary Jane, and Felicia-”

“With Jeff.” Felicia gestured to the fat black cat she was cradling in her arms.

“Yes, and Jeff. And my right hand, Alexandra… And of course.” you made a grand gesture, Alex facepalmed.

“The one and only Siren Queen! Hoist the sails!” you ordered.

“They’re already hoisted, Captain.” Alex pointed out.

“Oh… yes I suppose they are-” “Who are the women on the sails?” Jo asked.

“They’re our fallen sisters… Not a day goes by where I do not hear their song, I make sure that they get their revenge, that I avenge them. Any siren that falls is honored each and every day.” you stare off into the night sky, a knot in your stomach, you hated losing them. If you could have taken their place, you would have. Luckily your reputation had gotten around, if you murder a siren, you will face the wrath of the siren queen… Now you haven’t had as many deaths… But the injuries were getting more and more severe. You couldn’t lose your crew, they were everything to you.

“How am I going to remember everyone?” Jo asked as the crew dispersed to finish the tasks.

“You will, trust me on that.” Alex patted the girl on the back and handed her a mop.

“...This isn’t the adventure I was expecting,” Jo admitted.

You grabbed a mop as well “I disagree, I see this ship… Well no actually it is quite boring, but we must do it, Melody, a song please?” You asked. Melody grinned as she took out her guitar.

“My lady awaits on the old Irish road, oh my lady she waits for me, I gave her a kiss and I bid her farewell because my heart belongs to the sea! I miss my fair lady every day and night, but the sea she calls to me! I wish I could go back and hold her close, but I’m afraid the sea won’t let me free! Oh that is the song that the old sailor sings as she swabs on the moonlit deck, she looked to me and told me ‘I can’t ever go back for my heart, oh it belongs to the sea!”

“My heart belongs to the sea! I tell her time and time again, oh my heart it belongs to the sea!” Everyone sang along.

“One day I found myself on the old Irish road, my lady still waiting for me! I pulled her in close and I begged her to give her heart to the sea with me. My lady said yes and I shouted with glee, for now, I could have all three. Myself and my lady as well as the sea, it was simply just meant to be!”

“Because in the end…” everyone joined.

“Even if you refuse to believe!” Peggy and Carlos sang.

“Our hearts, they belong to the sea!” You all finished.

Josephine laughed as you all took out your blankets and gathered on the deck, Melody strummed a few strings on her guitar.

“But our families did say that it was not meant to be… That we could not give our hearts to the sea…” Melody sang softly.

“So I took my sea maidens hand and looked into her eyes, and we both dove into the sea.” she continued.

“We both dove into the sea…” she sang.

“Our hearts belong to the sea,” you whispered, closing your eyes.

“You’re twenty-one now Y/N and you still refuse to marry, you are humiliating our family!” Your mother scolded, you crossed your arms, scowling.

“I do not want to marry Lord Johnathan, I do not love him! And he’s old and boring and he never listens to me!” you argued.

“We don’t marry for love my dear, this is the only way to ensure our position in the future, don’t you want to become a Lady?”

“No, no I do not. I don’t want to be locked up in some mansion, forced to have children that I do not want while my husband treats me like dirt!” you snapped.

“...You are marrying Lord Johnathan and that is final, you are the only one out of your friends who have not married!”

“Alexandra hasn’t-”

“Alexandra is getting married as well, to Lord Thomas.” your mother snapped, your mouth dropped.

“No… NO!” you stood up and started pacing.

“Do not pace, that’s unladylike.”

You opened your mouth to argue but closed it, you fought off tears as you ran into your room. You had to do something… You looked out of your window, the ocean breeze blowing in your hair, you started to smile as a plan formed.

You were going to be free. And you weren’t going to let anyone get in your way.

“My heart belongs to the sea,” you muttered in your sleep.
