Hey friends!

To utter dismay of some of us and endless happiness of others (the two of us being a good example of both), TVD is almost over. For eight seasons, we have followed our favorite character go through pain, happiness, more pain and even actual death. 

If TVD and Damon have been or even used to be a big part of your life, just the way it is with us, you can (and should!) take part in our big final event dedicated to the end of the show - Damon Salvatore Entire Show appreciation week. 

If you have been with us for a long enough time, you know how this works. The event lasts [a bit more than] a week. You can make gif sets, graphics, write meta, basically do any original work that corresponds to the theme. 

Please, tag your contributions with #dsaw show. It should be one of the first tags so we can find it at tumblr.com/tagged/dsaw-show and reblog it.

Now, the themes!

Day 1 (March 4) - Favorite season

Day 2 (March 5) - Favorite episode

Day 3 (March 6) - Favorite scene (hard, we know!)

Day 4 (March 7) - Favorite romantic ship

Day 5 (March 8) - Favorite brotp

Day 6 (March 9) - Favorite heartbreaking moment

Day 7 (March 10) - Favorite happy moment

Day 8 (March 11) - Goodbye Damon (free theme)

Note: since we know not everyone watches TVD after season 6, we’re going to tag posts with spoilers about s7 and s8 with #s7 and #s8. We’ll also tag the romantic ships so you’re safe. :)

We hope you guys will take part and have fun with us!

Day 6 - The Crew

Distant ShoresAW Day Six (Side Characters) - Maggie & William

Warnings & A/N: drinking and drunkenness but no other warnings. 400-ish words.

Maggie wasn’t sure how she ended up looking up at the sky, though she was pretty sure it was still nighttime, but the light pouring out of the tavern was definitely confusing her. It was brighter than the night should be but there were clearly stars above. She raised the bottle to her lips and when she discovered it was empty she tossed it to the side. Turning her head to watch it roll lazily toward a pair of scuffed boots standing a few short feet away.

“Hullo goooood sir,” she slurred. “Have ye come with more rum?”

“More? I don’t think you need anymore,” William stooped to pick up the discarded rum bottle and bent down to shake it before her face. “You seem to have drunk it all.”

“Twasn’t I. It was that sconder- scound-“ she tested the word out, “scoundrel Kendrick. He got into thee rum.” She attempted to sit up, only to flail, and fall sideways into him.

He fell back off the balls of his feet with the force but still managed to keep them both upright. Well himself upright more than her.

“Yes, well, let’s go find him and tell him what we think of his despicable behavior. How dare he not share the rum with us,” William chuckled as he helped Maggie to her very unsteady feet.

“Yes, essellent idea,” Maggie swayed but stayed upright. “Lead the way my good sir!”

“Okay. Calm down,” William laughed aloud as she surged forward without him to keep her on her feet. He caught her and together they staggered back to the ship and to her hammock.

“And here we reach the end of our quest,” he said as he slid her off his shoulder and into the hammock. Catching her again before she swung herself out of it.

He knelt and removed her boots and swung her legs up into the hammock as she flopped her head back into it. His hands steadying the swaying of the bed to keep her in it.

“But thee rum?” she hummed.

He smiled and left her to sleep it off.

The following morning Maggie awoke with blood shot eyes, her head pounding, and she rubbed at her hip letting out a hiss at the bruise she discovered there. She groaned as she looked up at her empty hammock swaying lazily above her and tried to clear her fuzzy memory of how she ended up on the ship much less the deck.

William walked in to find her and held out water to her. “It’s not rum. Take that up with Kendrick.”

She drank deeply and smiled at him, “Assume I’ve ye to thank for gettin me here?”

“You found the floor all by yourself but it was no problem.”

“Then thank ye, William.”

“What? No good sir? Was growing rather fond of that,” he laughed as he stood and left her cringing at the memory.

For DSAW Day 6: Side Pairings - Charlie x Oliver (as friends) Summary: Considering that Oliver's father murdered Charlie's, I headcanon they would have talked about it at some point. Tag: @distantshoresaw

Even in the midst of the chaos and confusion of the night, Oliver couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration of how quickly Mortemer’s pirate crew brought his vessel up to speed. The combined efforts of the Irish sailor and his twin companions saw the sails of The Intrepid catch the night winds with a snap, pulling them out of the harbour of Port Monarque before anyone could stop them. Their boatswain was more competent than any of his own, and they followed her like hatchlings to their mother, trying to keep up with her deft fingers as they secured lines. Every member of the crew knew their place, and Peyton had reclaimed hers at the helm as soon as she had changed out of her fine clothes.

“They’re heading east but we’re already losing them!” Mortemer called, lowering his spyglass. However, Peyton had already begun steering the ship east before Mortemer had said anything. For a brief moment, Oliver remembered the incredible story she had told him earlier that evening, about being from the future and the pull of the compass. As if she was a compass herself. But he quickly shook himself out of his reverie and delivered the last remaining orders to his crew as the chase began. He would return to those thoughts later.

Soon the ship was speeding into the night, with no one being certain of their course except Peyton. Credit had to be given to all the crew, especially the navy men who had not known Miss Bellamy long enough to trust her or her crew, yet remained dutiful to their lieutenant. Oliver felt a mix of emotions churn within him. He was proud of his crew, some of them he had trained himself, some he loved like brothers, and was still in awe that they had chosen to turn against their Admiral for him. For him, for a bunch of pirates. It went against everything they probably stood for, yet here they were.

Oliver found Mortemer’s quartermaster below deck. He had seen almost no women sailors in his life, as they were not allowed on board navy ships (although Oliver had always made it a point to allow his crew to bring their wives on board if they didn’t want to be apart), but Charlotte Smith was the epitome of the reason why he had always found that rule ridiculous. She was a force of nature, who moved about the ship as if it was a part of her. Despite all the jesting and banter between her and the other pirates, they clearly deferred to her.

But now in the dim light of the oil lamps, she seemed so small and fragile, leaning against the wall near steps leading up to the deck. Her face was strong and fierce, yet there was a melancholic, faraway look in her eyes.

“Miss Smith?” Oliver said, as he approached.

Charlie looked up with a start, as if noting his presence for the first time. She gave him a small, tired smile. “Hullo navy boy. I’ll be right with ya, just give me a moment.”

“I’m not here to get you back to work,” Oliver said. “The crew is doing a fine job and the ship is already travelling as fast as she can.”

“Aye, we’ve told you time and again we are the best damn crew in the Caribbean,” she said, flashing him a grin. It disappeared quickly. “Then why are you here?”

Oliver swallowed. “I’m here to apologise. And to offer my condolences. What my father did to yours…”

Charlie waved it off as if swatting away an insect. “You are not to blame, navy boy. You’re more than making up for it by helping us take him down.”

“Still, I promise I’ll do what I can to set things right,” Oliver said. “When this mission is over, I will give an account of what happened in Port Monarque and ensure your father’s legacy is preserved.”

Charlie shrugged nonchalantly. “He’s a right old bastard.”

But Oliver remembered her strangled gasp and muffled sobs and knew she cared more than she let on. It must’ve shown in his face, for a heartbeat later, she sighed. “But thank you, Oliver.”

He nodded. They stood there in silence for a moment, before Oliver spoke again.

“You were quite a force at the ball tonight. Your charm and wit outshine many aristocratic women I’ve met.”

Charlie laughed. “Don’t tell me you’re falling for me now, navy boy. Peyton would never have it.” At the look on Oliver’s face, she laughed again. “Come now, I’m just teasing you.”

Oliver offered a tight smile in response. He had half a mind to return to the deck, where he was likely needed, but a part of him still felt guilty. And while the rest of the crew was too preoccupied with keeping on the Admiral’s trail, Charlie was, at the moment, alone in her grief.

“The housekeeper, Dorothea, is quite fond of you,” he said. “She told me how she raised you after your mother was… removed from service.”

“My father didn’t want a scandal,” Charlie said. “But I assume you would be familiar with such a situation, lieutenant, considering you’d likely have friends as fancy as my father, if not fancier.”

“Have you tried searching for her?”

“Of course I have.”

“I would like to help, if you would allow me. My position here in the navy could give me leverage and it’s the least I can do.”

Charlie raised an eyebrow, her gaze roving over Oliver’s face. Unsure what she was searching for. Hints of insincerity? Empty words to try to get her to lower her guard? But whatever for? Oliver had long proven he was on their side, and he had a score to settle with Edward, not her.

“I have my own contacts across the Caribbean and am already well into my search, but thank you for your offer. I appreciate it,” Charlie said. “How about you tell me a little about your mother? Must be quite a woman to put up with your father.”

For a moment, Oliver floundered. The subject of his mother had been long buried, like a pirate’s treasure, and at first, he couldn’t quite find the words.

“She was… a good woman. I don’t think she fully understood how much my father craved power.”

Charlie studied Oliver in the dim light. “We have a lot in common, don’t we, navy boy? We both have rich aristocratic bastards for fathers who have high expectations of us, and we love the sea. We grew up with luxury, but chose to leave it behind.” Charlie laughed. She may have been raised as a servant in her father’s household, but had comforts some of the crew could never dream of.

“But we both chose very different paths.”

“Which are now crossing as we work towards our common enemy,” Charlie said. She straightened and moved closer towards Oliver, laying a hand on his shoulder. “I appreciate that you sought me out to offer some comfort from my grief, lieutenant. And I hope you will be able to detach yourself from your father’s deeds eventually. You’re not a monster like he is.”

Oliver swallowed, and nodded. “Thank you, Miss Smith.” He glanced briefly up at the deck, before turning back to Charlie. “And for the sake of our… friendship, I hope our paths would never have to cross again after this.”

Charlie knew what he meant. When the mission ended, her life of piracy would continue, and Oliver would return to the navy. He would continue to climb its ranks. He might be sent out after her in the future, not Mortemer. The silence was heavy between them.

“I’m thinking the crew could use both of us above deck,” Charlie said. “Shall we?”
