On Stormy Seas Chapter II of XXI

Summary: Until the day of the wedding, Jay is still a royal guard with only one job - protect the princess. It's just that, sometimes, she doesn't like to make that easy.

Warnings: arranged marriage, kidnapping

Words: 10,660 (so far)

Sneak Peek:

The way the sun reflected off the water around them sent it directly into his eyes, and Jay hated every second of it. They’d been taken onto the ship with the restraints around their wrists until they left the shore. In the dark, it felt like they’d moved farther, but he could still see the palace in the distance. If he squinted, he thought he could even see the dock they’d left from. 

If the entire situation wasn’t so impossible to understand, he might have been able to get someone’s attention and a way to get them both home. 

He couldn't do much of anything at all when they were surrounded by pirates. Even if he had his sword, he was outnumbered, and the way the ship rocked with the waves made it hard to stay on his feet. The captain they’d met, in the loosest definition of the term, had disappeared into a cabin when the sun came up over the horizon, but the unfortunately and increasingly familiar members of the crew were always near. 

Jay pretended to ignore them while doing the exact opposite. He tried not to look at them, focusing instead on Erin next to him. She hadn’t left his side since the ropes were removed, and there wasn’t any reason to believe that would change. She hadn’t even let go of his sleeve since she realized it was close enough for her to grab. But while his eyes were on the princess in his charge, he was listening to the things going on around them. 

He made himself aware of how far the crew was in case any of them stepped too close. He listened to laughter and the clash of swords. He listened to heavy steps running along the deck. He listened to the waves of water as they crashed against the sides of the ship. If he strained, he could hear parts of sentences, too many voices overlapping at once for him to hear any related statements that might be useful to him.

Oh…. Well, it’s over for Crunchyroll I guess

Been thinking about how these two gravitate to each other

A friendship that transcends universes, timelines, incarnations. Call it what you will, their friendship can be summed in one word. Inevitable. And isn't that lovely?

Sorry english people, but what follows is too french an opinion to voice in english (I'll sum it up for u in the end <3)

Ok alors je suis désolé, Con o'Neill chante vraiment très bien ca n'a rien avoir avec sa performance, mais vraiment la vie en rose c pas possible. Le man est sur les champs Elysées a me vendre des tours Eiffel en plastique jpp- Franchement pipe et jambe de bois ca serai mieux passer. Ou les demons de minuit !!!!pourquoi pas les demon de minuit ?????? Chanson hyper connu française. Ok c moins cucu que la vie en rose, mais bonus point plus kinky (je pensais jamais decrire les demons de minuit comme etant kinky mais here we are-)

Ou juste n'importe quoi d'autre-

(And words of wisdom from my evil advisor @quijicroix : légende vivante (de Lorenzo) ça va avec tout. Ou une chanson triste de jul (pas bande organisée, tu peux pas ken dessus). Après tout le monde déteste la police ou nik le front national c les chansons les plus romantiques que je connaisse. Y a santiago aussi, avec le gros mat la. Les trois mâts, pour le steddyhands.)

Tout sauf la fucking vie en rose pitier (meme si, encore une fois, Con o'Neill la chante vraiment bien)

Welcome back english people ! To sum it up : la vie en rose is a french song for tourists that set up a fight or flight reaction in every native speaker. I'm glad people enjoyed this, but I cannot describe the cringe and disappointment I felt when they decided to have him sing this song- (even tho he sings it beautifully (which is part of the disappointment))

They are SO MUCH love songs in french, why this one.

PS : at this point (ep7) I don't know why Stede is still bothering with Ed "I'm hitting the banks didn't tell him which one" teach, when Izzy hands is right there ????? Sir please open your eyes

This advertisement is for Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne, a cozy fantasy steeped in sapphic romance about one of the Queen’s private guards and a powerful mage who want to open a bookshop and live happily ever after…if only the world would let them. Cover art by Irene Huang.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT

All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters…all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen’s private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn’t so easy.

But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she’s thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum.

Jay's having a small crisis because the pirate captain is... literally just standing there

Those deep water blue eyes didn’t leave him for even a second. It didn’t even seem like the other man blinked in all that time. It was unnerving.
