Ok but why do we get to have a mermaid AU and no sailor AU like I want to see Silvio doing actual sailing and shit

PIRATE AU

FOREIGN FACTION

privateers. In short, pirates working for the government to carry out quasi-military activities... a pirate with papers if you will

With their solemn and equally terrifying captain, Chevalier who oversees his bunch of lawless brigands abide by the contract or else don't get caught. Don't ever engage in direct combat with his fleet.

Clavis is the quartermaster, during the Golden Age of Piracy this was the highest ranking pirate on a ship under the captain, usually elected by the crew. The quartermaster was the only officer on a ship who could veto a captain’s decision, but only when the ship was not engaged in battle or on a mission. This rapscallion is a wild card, difficult to control, has to be strictly supervised to deter from causing all manner of nautical misbehavior but he's always onto something. All the captives are under his supervision... Some destinies are worse than death.

Nokto appraises the goods values and is the one in charge of dealings, negotiations, pricing and reselling. Also paperwork.

Luke is the errand boy whenever they are at port. He is also the cleaning lad but don't be surprised to find he has enormous strength from doing all that sea man work.

DOMESTIC FACTION

Sailors. Honest to goodness sailors. The Royal Navy.

Leon, this charismatic swashbuckler is the captain of the Crown Fleet. He is easy-going but takes his job very seriously. If they ever happen to pass Chevaliers ship they'll definitely exchange annoyed glances.

Jin is the second in command, this shameless carouser enjoys festivity and especially the riotous drinking once on land. He knows his bitches in every port.

Licht is the lookout. He knows how to read the weather and sea and has very good eyesight. Being up there also gives him some much needed alone time from all the noise Jin is steering with the crew.

Yves is the cook. The first time he was introduced someone in the crew was reluctant to accept him on board saying women on ships bring bad luck. Yves was definitely outraged at that remark but rest assured he became an absolute essential to the crew, anytime he's absent Licht is left to cook and we know how that turns out, pray to the gods someone is there to save the ship from burning.

Sariel is the king's emissary, he communicates his majesty's wishes to the captain and anything paperwork related is to him. His inspections aren't without scrutiny, usually Jin is the one getting a scolding word.

PIRATES

Lawless brigands whose name is feared far and wide. Ruthless and unforgiving like the tempest seas, they bow to no man.

Silvio or as some call him Silver, he's... Well actually, I lied. Silvio is not a pirate but a merchant growing his empire of trade and influence. Let's just say that to do that he has the morals of a large corporation, that is, he has the human rights violations as a checklist.

"The capitalist machine must be oiled with the blood of pirates"

-this guy at some point

Keith is a savage pirate you wouldn't want to cross paths with. He committed all manner of atrocities without batting an eye. His ship mostly sails tropical seas and is very difficult to track as it hides in the mist and uses the weather to sail unnoticed. He's very good in dealing with poisons and has a pet bird on his shoulder, Dill.

Gilbert's face is the universal symbol of death and destruction :D scourge of the seven seas, World's Calamity, and prominent glutton, this pirate sails an Obsidian black ship, incredibly military advanced and commands a ruthless crew. Despite the considerable size of his ship it's difficult to predict what route he's going to intercept (making him a constant nuisance to Silvio). Maaaaybe tried to kidnap Emma... more than once. You're not safe. Not even on land.

That said, you never know from where or when he's coming but when you see the dark flag, it's already too late.

Possibly uses pirate slang unironically

#ikepri #ikemen prince pirate au #ikepri pirate au #ikemen prince #ikemen ouji #Rio is a law-abiding citizen now #bet he goes boating or smt #but Silvio knows the truth #that's why he can't stand him #the fleets either dislike eachother or dislike but with respect or just guttorally hate #my god i have so many hc already #I strongly encourage you to share yours #sailor au #ikemen prince sailor au #cybird otome

Sometimes I forget I can post my thoughts for things here on tumblr, so I give writing thoughts :3

Consider: royal au + sailor au

Rae and Icarus are royals but sail around, and ghae can happen n shit but like- fable can be a bit of a bitch in this so have my funky thoughts

Rae was smiling in the distance, just out of earshot from Icarus. He was helping out the younger kids, with Caspian Solcrest at his side. The kids of the town adored him, playing and laughing with him.

Fable noticed Icarus watching, walking up silently behind them. "That is what a Prince should be." He broke that silence, startling Icarus. His tone was bitter, coldness that was masked by his semi-unreadable expression he constantly held as a king.

Icarus stared up to their father, returning to their normal state and staring down to the floor. Those words echoed in their brain, repeating and stinging like salt in an open wound.

The bold is my thought process :3

last one of a month of micros!!

@jilymicrofics

todays microfic is the last of Moody March Microfics for the word gloomy

read Tied Down on ao3 or under the cut

In the old days a love-sick sailor might give the object of his affections a length of fishline loosely tied in a true-lover's knot. If the knot was sent back as it came the relationship was static. If the knot returned home snugly tied up the passion was reciprocated. But if the knot was capsized - tacit advise to ship out.

The Shipping news (E.A. Proulx) / Ashley's book of Knots

Tied Down

She's naked and so is he. She didn't listen to her sister, or not all of what she had warned her for. She hasn't accepted his hand, not yet anyway.

He's awake, she can tell. When he watches her, she feels it, as if he physically touches her.

"I don't want to go," he says.

She nods. "You could stay."

He draws figures on her bare arm, she shivers, not from cold but his touch leaves her tingling all over. Again.

"I can't. I wish you would say yes."

"I can't" she parrots, then she turns to face him and kisses him, slow and thorough.

Siren

Chapter 9

When Hugo woke up, Varian was gone. Hugo rubbed his eyes as he laid up.

“…Goggles?”

There was no reply. Hugo grabbed his glasses from the table, and found a note.

Hugo,

I went to get a head start on work today. I’m in the painters room if you need me, and Lance is serving breakfast on deck if you’re hungry.

Love,

Varian

P.S

Thanks for last night. Usually I have to deal with those episodes all alone…it was nice having you around.

Hugo smiled softly, then got up and stretched, work with Varian today, and find that moon ring tonight. By Hugo’s approximations they should be in the Kalder pods territory in two weeks. It was just before they hit Rosas port.

He'd ask around, see if anyone knew about it. Subtly though, as to not cause suspicions. He went over to the bucket of sea water and splashed himself quickly before changing into his normal attire.

He felt his stomach grumble and figured he’d made his way over to the deck.

A bunch of crewmen were up and about as he got up to the deck. He could smell food and he turned to see that Lance was cooking meat on something that looked to be a Varian creation.

“Hey!” Lance said. “You hungry?”

Hugo nodded.

“What do you feel like?”

Hugo thought for a second. He didn’t really know much about land food. “…Surprise me.”

Lance lit up at that.

Hugo ended up muching on something called French toast and bacon. It was delicious. He made his way down to the painters room as he finished the last piece of bacon, plate abandoned in the dirty dishes pile.

He knocked on the door before coming in.

Varian was humming as he worked on his personal project of a water breathing potion. He must have gotten done with the balancing and the machine tune ups. His voice still sounded like a siren.

Hugo smiled and closed the door.

“Hey sweetcheeks.”

Varian stopped humming, and then smiled at Hugo.

“Hey. Did you see my note?”

“I did. Lance made me French toast and bacon. It was delicious.”

Varian chuckled, adjusting the goggles on his head. “I’m glad you liked it. Do you want to help with this? I have some formulas that need some reworking.”

Hugo nodded softly, wrapping his arms around Varians back as he looked over the sheet.

“Hugo?”

“Hm?”

“this isnt working on the formulas.”

“I can look at them as I hold you.” Hugo said, smirking into Varians ear.

Varian giggled, leaning back into Hugos embrace as he got the formula and put it in Hugo’s hand. Hugo didn’t let go, just using one hand to look it over.

“Hm. This is like a transformation potion back home.”

“What do you mean?”

“Not all merpeople can shapeshift naturally. Especially if they’re originally from deeper waters, so they use those temporary potions if they need to go on land. Although it’s fairly rare, as most of the deep sea merpeople stay down there. A lot of them are huge too! Like bigger than a whale!”

“woah!” Varian pulled out a book, taking the note. “tell me more!”

Hugo looked over the book. It had a lot of information. Mostly what they talked about the night before with alchemy. “huh. Didn’t realize you wrote everything down, goggles.”

“Yeah. I want to know as much as I can about underwater life…mom never talked about dad had a hard time even talking about mom so…im curious.”

“Well, like on land, theres a bunch of different cultures and pods and subcultures inside of them. A lot of different tails as well. Most merpeople have a fish counterpart. Mine, for example, is similar to a green arowana. Cyrus has a sand tiger shark tail, and Donella a reef shark.”

“That’s so cool! Do you gain the diets of the fish you’re similar to?”

Hugo shrugged. “depends on our parents, really. Cause we still have a bit of human in us as well. Some people are extremely similar to fish, with more scales. Some have hair that looks like seaweed as an evolutionary trait. Which gets interesting cause seaweed is a treat that vendors sell. Like your streetfood.”

Hugo paused, seeing that Varian was looking back at him with a soft look.

“What?”

“…you’re pretty when you talk.”

Hugo sputtered, laughing softly. “I-Uh-“

Varian grinned evilly, leaning backwards into Hugos embrace. “you’re pretty all the time. But especially when you talk.”

Hugos face was beat red. Varian giggled. “How’s that for flirting?”

“okay no more cuddles for you.” Hugo let go of Varian, still blushing up to the tips of his ears.

“Aw come on!” Varian whined. “Youre allowed to flirt but not me?”

“Yep! Especially when it makes me flustered.”

Varian was about to say something before the balancer made a noise. Varian sighed. “Back to work.”

Hugo smiled, watching Varian settle in to do his work. He went over to the formulas and started taking them more seriously. He pulled a piece of paper and started working on it, drawing his own and starting to test it out.

It was a quiet moment as they did their separate things.

Hugo didn’t know how they would test this potion without revealing that the two of then were…well not 100% human. He was unwilling to let Varian test it on himself since potions like this could be…funny at best. Disastrous at worst. Obviously they wouldn’t be testing it on any animals or other crew members.

It felt like the best thing was to make it and hope to the moon any side effects weren’t permanent.

Varian was humming again. Hugo listened closely to it. A song that was so familiar. He wondered where he heard it before.

He worked quietly and listened to his moon sing.

Hugo was up late again. Hed checked the kitchen and upper deck already. Quietly, he made his way to the next rooms, the cold room. He checked there quickly. Nothing. He. Was grateful. That spot was cold.

Closing the door, he made his way into the next group of rooms. Nothing in any of them. Hugo groaned.

“This isn’t working.”

“What isnt?”

Hugo screamed. Turning around he saw the face of Rapunzel, who looked confused and concerned.

“Is everything okay, Hugo?”

Hugo stood up. “Oh yes captain I just lost an earring! I can’t seem to find it!” He mustered the best smile he could.

Rapunzel, for once, let her smile slip. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice you sneaking out late every night?”

Hugo opened his mouth to speak.

“So what’s really going on, Hugo?” She asked before he could spew another lie.

Hugo scratched the back of his neck. “I’m a night owl. And really, I just lost an earring. I can’t seem to find it anywhere.”

“what does it look like?”

Hugo paused. This was a good chance to get some information.

“Like a moonstone. One shaped like the moon?”

“Ive never seen you wearing that one?”

Hugo couldn’t help but feel prideful. She was avoiding the question. She knew something.

“I usually don’t. I lost it before the pirate crew kidnapped us. Been looking for it ever since we got back on the ship.”

Rapunzel shrugged. “I haven’t seen it. But I can put out a ship wide note to keep an eye out for it?”

Hugo nodded. “I’d appreciate that. I’m going to keep looking. I’ll go to bed soon.”

Rapunzel nodded. “Also it wouldn’t be a bad idea if you guys spent a little time away from work tomorrow? Get out and see the fresh waves. Take a break. You two seem like you need it.”

Hugo watched as she walked away.

Her room was next. She was hiding it. He was sure now.

He was going to get that ring and save this goddamn ship if it killed him.

The next morning came and Varian seemed to get the same conversation as Hugo did last night.

So there they were, standing in the sun. Hugo had half a mind to jump into the ocean with how tired he was.

“Hugo?” Varian asked, taking his hand.

“hm?”

“you okay? You’ve been glaring at that piece of wood since you got up here.”

“…I’d rather be down in the painters room. Or swimming.”

Varian chuckled. “I get it. But Rapunzels right. We need some social interaction besides each other.”

Hugo grumbled. Varian kissed his cheek and pulled away, looking at the bow of the ship, then chatting with the captain up ahead.

“Hugo.” Nuru leaned on the wall besides Hugo.

“Oh uh, hey.”

Nuru smiled. “Its good to see you in the light of day. Usually we don’t see you until dinner.”

Hugo chuckled. “Yeah…not really a people person.”

“you’re a Varian person though!” Nuru smiled. It was a wry one. What was her game?

“I…guess. Though I don’t know how he puts up with me half the time.”

Nuru chuckled. “You two act so much alike. When he first came on the ship, he shut himself off from everyone. Including Rapunzel.”

“Rapunzel? She’s just the captain.”

“Shes more than that to him. They’re like siblings.”

Huh.

“Why aren’t they together much then?” Hugo asked.

“Rapunzel has a lot of work to do. Do you know much about her?”

Hugo shook his head. “basically nothing. Why?”

Nuru had this look on her face. It once again made him wonder what she was up to. “Youre not from Corona, right?”

“No.”

Nuru sighed. “Then you don’t know the story. Okay. Where to start?” She thought it over for a second. “Okay so, once upon a time-“

“Youre starting with once upon a time?”

“Do you wanna hear this or not?”

“…”

“that’s what I thought. Once upon a time…”

There was a woman named Rapunzel. She had long, beautiful blonde hair and green eyes. She grew up on an island, with only her caretaker, Gothel. As a child, she grew up looking out at the sea, Gothel forbid her from going anywhere near it, despite the fact that it surrounded the island.

Then one day, she met a pirate. One who had come to hide from other pirates, and possibly raid her island home. His name was Flynn Rider.

Rapunzel hid Rider from Gothel worried that she’d hurt him. In the meanwhile, Gothel was making a deal. One to sell Rapunzel once she was old enough.

“Sell her….” Hugo processed what those words meant. “…Oh.”

“Yeah. Oh. Girl was prime real estate. Gothel had done this to many girls before. Most were kids when they were taken by her. Rapunzel was a baby when she was.”

“Holy shit.”

“Anyway…”

Rapunzel and Rider figured this out after a couple days on the island. Long story short, Rider had the honor and privilege of killing the witch. Afterwards, they sailed to Corona.

A while after that, Rider, now going by his real name, Eugene Fitzherbert, and Rapunzel bought the sundrop.

They made stops all over, Arendelle, Rosas, the motoniuan shores, even Avalor.

“Wheres that?”

“you really don’t know anything, do you sea breath?”

Hugo pouted. “Anyway, continue.”

“Right.”

Until one day, they came across a farmer and his child. He was 14 at the time. Rapunzel made some mistakes.

“This part is Varians to tell…you should talk to him about it…neither he or Rapunzel have told me the full story but…I think varian might tell you.”

“Whats your game?”

Nuru smiled. “If youre going to be with Varian, you have to let him in. You have to let him let you in too. I can see you care about Varian and are suspicious of the captain.”

Hugo opened his mouth to argue.

“You don’t hide your feelings well, sea breath. At least, not to me. So I have to ask. What’s your game?”

Hugo paused. He didn’t trust her.

“Let me rephrase. What are you really searching for on this ship? Cause it sure as fuck isn’t an earing.”

“….It’s none of your business.”

“…I’d be willing to help. No questions asked.”

Hugo glared at her. “Why?”

“…It’s what friends do.”

Hugo blinked. “Youre not my friend.”

“I could be.”

She had this look in her eye. Conniving but desperate. Hugo could have sworn he saw something shining at her back for a moment. He didn’t trust this.

“Think about it, Sea breath.” She smiled, and walked off. Hugo reeled from the conversation.

He shook it off. Hed figure it out after he got the ring.

Merman AU

The ship Hob was on sank, crashed hitting reefs. When he woke up, he went to search the area to find out he was the sole survivor. There was a soft, calming voice coming from the dark sea, from something hidden in the mist. He followed the voice without thinking, coming from this beautiful man looking at him from the sea. Hob was charmed by the creature without realizing he was the reason behind the crash.

@entropy-mephit did the waves and Dream’s dreamy hair.

They chilling on a beach with a bonfire

It’s not my best, but I’ve been struggling lately and this took too long so uuuuh appreciation for the effort in the form of posting.

This is from a fic I’m working on (Sailor AU, though not pirate) focusing on Silver and Espio.

Bet Silver feels silly now for insisting they should sell that mandolin earlier hehehe

Arrg, Doodle! I be needing ya to tell me about that Sailor AU!

Aye aye!

So, there's sea creatures, humans, and magic users

Price, Graves, Laswell, Ava, and Soap and are human

Kyle and Rodolfo are magic users

Rodolfo: wind and water manipulations, as well as half Siren. (He can shift)

Kyle: Telekinesis and ice manipulation

Alex, Ghost, and Alejando are Kraken’s

Price and Graves are Married, as well as Las and Ava.

And of course, normal ships are still in place

Price and Graves found Kyle as a baby and raised him. Price is the captain of a crew of sailors, but Graves retired when Kyle came along

Soap comes along when price finds him on another island as a 17 year old (Kyle was 16)

Krakens are... considered very dangerous.

But none of the people who are dating them see the danger in them.

Kyle was saved from drowning by Alex

Soap was saved by ghost from pirates.

Rodolfo was saved by Alejandro from hunters while he was swimming as a Siren

Price, Graves, Laswell, and Ava don't know about them knowing The Kraken’s, let alone dating them

I'm still working on this. Might take a while to come out, along with all the others

#kyle gaz garrick #alex keller #gazalex #cod mwii #call of duty #alexgaz #john price #call of duty modern warfare #phillip graves #price x graves #kate laswell #alejandro vargas #rodolfo parra #alejandro x rodolfo #laswell x ava #sailor au

I was thinking about Pike AUs and tho it’s not just about Pike I could see a version where they’re all sailors and Pike is the captain :D

Like Pike is captain of a vessel with first mate Grog and they fish Percy out of the river and instead of being the last member of VM he’s one of the first. This version of Percy would have Grog and Pike be his primary family first (he’d be rather young when they fish him out the river so they’d probs see him as a lil bro). I think Percy with a support system could maybe not join Orthax (tho perhaps he still could, Percy would be good at keeping secrets and not wanting to involved other ppl with his drama (at first)).

And then later on Vex and Vax and then Keyleth join the crew. I feel like Scanlan could join last— the bard needs to jump on a boat to escape some sort of scandal he’s embroiled in. Pike is at first annoyed by this new crew member that she has to remind that ‘I am the captain of the ship , he is so annoying, but shit, I kinda like him?’

The ship is eventually called the Vox Machina and they all see Pike as the leader. And maybe they said the seas and end up being considered a mercenary ship, and eventually make landfall to help defeat the Briarwoods.

I think this could be fun cos it sort of splits up the gnomes with other members (Scanlan would probs be closer with the new crew members the half elves then obvs Percy with pike and grog etc).

OMG I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

Pike and Percy's relationship is so underappreciated in this fandom and this au would really let it shine! I can just imagine him being so fucking scared and basically catatonic, but then this goliath keeps sitting in his room and telling him the weirdest things and this gnome keeps making sure he gets sunlight.

I think in this au, Percy would still join up with Orthax, but like you said, keep it hidden from Pike and Grog because he's ashamed. And when they find out Pike is just so heartbroken that he didn't think he could come to them about this and that he was hurting so bad and hid it so well.

He doesn't like the gods still, but I could see him having a deeper respect for the Everlight

Meet me where the sky touches the sea

A/N: for those unaware, i spend my summers sailing with my grandparents some years, and i miss it dearly. The result is a mermaid au fanfic :) childe is the mermaid today, of course, since i feel his traveling self fits the theme quite well. And also, i love his dorky self.

Mermaid!childe x Sailor!reader

The smell of the sea surrounded you, the bow of your small ship cutting through the water. Gulls cried and friends waved as you departed, controlling your sails with experienced ease.

Barefoot and smiling, you began your journey, going to a lovely set of islands, where one could wash the weight off their soul.

Luckily, the weather was fair and the waters warm as you went. Some days, dolphins would swim with your ship, putting a smile on your face.

On one such day though, a viridescent blue caught your eye. Which was strange, considering dolphins are niether blue nor shiny.

Shocked laughter left your lips when a mermaid- merman? - jumped from the water, smiling so wide his eyes were closed. Setting your sails steady you sat on the side of your little boat and waved, hoping to catch his attention.

He noticed thankfully, approaching the side of your ship and shaking ginger hair from his face. "Hello traveler! What brings you to this stretch of the sea?"

"I'm sailing to the draíocht isles."

The man(?) Nods, keeping easy pace with your boat to continue the conversation. "I see, and what might your name be? I'm ajax, but many call me childe."

His sunny smile drew one out of you in return, "I'm y/n."

"well, dearest y/n, would you mind if i joined you for this journey? I hear the draíocht isles are lovely this time of year."

"sure, but be careful of the anchor, its up right now and might cause an injury."

Ajax saluted you with a chuckled, swimming joyfully around your little boat. "Aye, aye cap'n!"

Shaking your head, you stood up, hair flitting in the breeze as you swung around your ship with a familiar type of grace. "Off we go then, ajax!"

Light laughter flew with the wind, carrying to far gods ears as the two of you traveled in easy companionship, spending evenings anchored by small islands, you sat in a hanginf chair while you chatted.

And when the sun was high in the sky, salted breeze hitting your skin, you finally reached your destination.

"hey y/n, come swim!"

"give me a sec childe, I'll change and join you."

And join you him did, in the sea. His hands found you easily, keeping you both afloat as he smiled and pressed a kiss to your temple.

"I've been wanting to do that for awhile."

You kissed his cheek with a smile, replying "and I've been wanting to do that."

The satisfied smile he gave you was plenty enough for you. You swam along with him in the turquoise waters, seeing sea life aplenty.

And when you returned to your boat for the night, childe kissed your lips proper and bid you goodnight.

"goodnight, ajax."

From there on, your days were spent swimming and sailing in peace, touring the vast seas and following ajax to the ends of the earth. Barefoot, hair loose, and often in your swimsuit instead of 'proper' clothes.

One evening, childe looked a little hesitant before asking you something peculiar.

"y/n? I have a question."

"yes, ajax?"

"if you could, would you become a child of the sea and join me here?"

"depends, would you teach me your ways?"

Ajax smiled, "of course."

"thats your awnser then, dearest."

And seemingly appeased, you returned below decks to sleep, the odd conversation weighing on your mind.

When morning broke, and you had hopped in with childe, he murmured into your ear, "this may hurt, but bear with me."

He brushed his fingers over your forehead, and with a stinging pain your legs fused to become a tail.

It was a striking dark orange, the beta-like end fading into burgundy.

Childe whistled between his teeth. When you reached up, you felt the same small fins as childe where ears normally were.

"first of all, your gorgeous, and secondly, don't worry, I'll turn you back whenever you give the word."

You threw your arms around his neck, moving awkwardly through the water.

"dearest ajax, i believe you have a whole new world to show me?"

He laughed and grabbed your hand, "swimming lessons first, then off we go!"

After a few tries you had the hang of it, and ajax whisked you away. Diving down, it took a second but you found you could "breathe" here, too.

A world of magic awaited you, clearly, beyond the waves of the sea.

Ajax' tail sparkled with the sun as you followed him down, your eyes tracking the movements he made as you two travelled to a nearby area.

He gestured, smiling, at some fish. Brightly colored and clearly not very good for food. You swam around them, before being dragged again.

A/n: accidentally posted this so I'm cutting it short, i hope its still okay tho

3 Silhouettes & The Crew’s Koochie <3

He looks the most recognizable and less traumatized :D

This is an AU with sailors and magic, it takes place after the killing game where Shuichi, Kaede, and Kokichi survive and meet people on a ship.

(This was originally a dream I had, this is a constant event that happens in my DRV3 concepts for some reason.)

pirate au based off davy jones and calypso.

childe who is a sailor and falls in love with the sea god kaeya.

however there is a reason there are myths, old's wives tales of the sea god and his domain, where sailors have learned to fear its waters. childe's story only becomes one of the many, a destined tragedy. after all, there has never be a happy ending for a human who falls in love with a god.

"If you love me, give me your heart," kaeya says to him, he speaks calmly, like waves washing over the shore, with a promise of their love written in the sand.

childe steps closer, holding kaeya's hand and placing it on his chest just where his heart beats. "It has always been yours," he tells him.

kaeya accepts his offering but it is with that, a curse is laid upon him.

childe is now destined to roam the seas, as a captain of the undead, ferrying over those who die in the waters, an immortal sailor.

a vow is made where every ten years, they may meet each other once more.

childe, ever devoted to their love, have always returned to reunite with kaeya under the stars upon land. and kaeya goes to meet him in his mortal form.

it may never be enough time for them to only have a night together but at least they can share the burden of eternity. another ten and then another. and then more, where childe upholds his bargain.

but then, as fickle as the storming oceans, quiet and beautiful, and then cruel and unyielding the next, kaeya does not appear on the day that marks their promise.

childe believes it must not be true, that kaeya would break it so easily, and so he comes back, still hopeful, still in love only to see that kaeya never returns.

what childe should have realized then perhaps, was that kaeya was not a human but a god and a god does not look at the passage of time the same way he does, where kaeya's heart had never been his to begin with, and he had never promised the same oath back to childe.

betrayed, childe sails upon the oceans that reminds him of his beloved, and he becomes a cursed pirate, vicious and bloodthirsty. soon he is a legend, whispered in the hulls of ships, of a heartless ghost who haunts the waters, bringing sailors to their ultimate demise.

he, who had given everything to his god, destined to live forever without being able to die of heartbreak.

kaeya who never forgets, holding onto childe's heart for safekeeping, a treasured offering. and while he does love childe, he has and will always love the sea more.
