#Azur Lane Mary Celeste

[helena-and-helena-meta]

Not me writing something no one asked for. Anyways, the Mc/reader isn't an adult, but they are originally from the modern world. The MC has a sibling/sisterly bond with the Tempesta girls. This is also all platonic.

As you sleep with Grim curled by your side, thousands of memories swirl through through you mind. One memory in particular repeats itself, the last thing you recall before arriving to the Twisted Wonderland.

In your memory, you sit by the window in you quarters on the Great Royal Fortune, the very name of the sailing frigate amuses you due to Royal Fortune naming said ship after herself. The words of said brunette-haired pirate wishing you a good night as she retreated to her own room echo in your mind. Footsteps slowly approach your door, just before you could stand, the wooden door creaks open allowing a familiar blue-haired ghost ship in.

"I thought you'd be asleep by now, MC."

You look to Mary Celeste, wondering why she's up. Mary seems to sense your confusion, she smiles softly.

"Nightmares have been keeping me up lately. I... Well, you know me and fire don't mix well."

Mary sighs, you quickly respond,

"I see, are you alright?"

You tilt your head slightly, Mary softly smiles and nods.

"Yeah... Sometimes I forget I'm a seaborne ghost and not just a ship. I may be old compared to you, but those scars are still very young."

Mary speaks, the emotions in her eyes reflecting the turmoil within her mind. You decide to tell her why you weren't sleeping.

"I couldn't sleep either, the storm we went through while fighting the Si- I mean, the Echo Fleet has me on edge. I thought I'd count the stars to try and fall asleep, just like counting sheep."

Mary softly chuckles at your words, she leaves your quarters for a few moments leaving you confused. The ghost ship returns quickly with a small and light wooden chair, most likely from her quarters.

"Mind if I join you?"

You nod as Mary hands you the blanket off your bed to ensure your body isn't chilled by her ghostly presence. You wrap your blanket around your shoulders as Mary soon sits beside you, the two of you counting stars together until you slip into a peaceful slumber, Mary having fallen asleep a few minutes after sitting down with you.

Every part of you misses the chaos, small fights, and joy aboard the Great Royal Fortune. Mary chasing Whydah around, Adventure Galley being her grumpy self, São Martinho watching the waves for danger, Golden Hind making new business plans, and Royal Fortune cheerfully talking your ear off while happily guiding the large sailing frigate through the vast ocean.

Before you can reminisce any further, you feel something poking and prodding at your face, and Grim's voice soon echoing throughout the room.

"Hench-human! Wake up! You have to feed me my tuna! I don't want to go to school without food. I won't become the greatest mage on an empty stomach!"

Grim yowls as you slowly awaken, softly yawning.

"I know, I know... I'm awake, Grim. Let me get changed and I'll feed you."

You reply as Grim rushes to the kitchen. You soon begin changing into your school, but you pause when you see something in the pants pocket of your old clothes, the clothing you were wearing when you arrived to Twisted Wonderland.

You reach your hand into the pocket and pull out the golden compass Royal Fortune had given you, the very item brings back both good and bad memories. You place the compass down to finish changing into your uniform, as soon as your finished you place the small object into your pocket and head to the kitchen where Grim is waiting impatiently.

Royal Fortune is the most likely to cause a spectacle and the least likely to kill someone in a plunder/raid

Adventure Galley can electrocute people on contact; she is the most likely to maul someone during a plunder (usually by claw)

If you're up against Mary Celeste, chances are they won't find your body.... then they'll keep finding it washed ashore and strung up on palm trees

Whydah usually plays mission control, but if she's on the field stay away from her tentacles unless you want to be drowned

Despite her appearances, Golden Hind is best at hand to hand (especially with kicks). Her reflection also has the ability to move independently and affect the world to some degree, so stay out reflective surfaces' line(s) of sight so you don't get tag teamed

Sao Martinho has actual claws (Galley's is a sick as hell magic prosthetic made by Whydah) and her teeth are incredibly sharp; she isn't above biting and clawing if you manage to disarm her. The eyes on her wings are also functional, so it's incredibly hard, if not impossible to sneak up on her
