Between the Sea and the Sky || ATEEZ!PIRATE AU by AJGrahamWrites

Stories of Captain Hongjoong and his crew of misfits have been circling the Aithelon kingdom for years - stories of violence, mischief, thievery, destruction - inciting fear, or sometimes curiosity, within the citizens. Twenty-four year old Ari Rothchester is part of the latter group, intrigued by the adventures Hongjoong and his crew embark on, wishing wholeheartedly she had that kind of freedom. Instead, she is betrothed to an older man as the final act of her parents hiding her very existence. But when her soon-to-be husband sets his sights on her younger sister, Evelyn, Ari unleashes magic she has kept hidden most of her life. Now deemed a dangerous enemy to the crown, Ari escapes the confines of the castle walls and runs directly into the notorious pirate captain's path. Quickly, Ari will learn if she was right to be intrigued by this band of pirates or if she should have learned to fear them instead. TWs: Violence - including blood, gore, assault, decapitation, torture. Attempted SA - the scene is brief and vaguely detailed. Child Neglect/Abuse - including physical, mental, and emotional.

Siren Song (The Fated #1) by UnboundWings

Iliana Katrakis couldn't care less about the will of the gods, and she's certain they feel the same way about her. After all, it's rare for the god-touched to live normal lives--and that's all she wants. Having spent the last three years aboard the merchant ship Airlea, Iliana couldn't be happier. Sure, her best friend Kain is the only one who knows she's a girl, but it's a good life. The work is simple, and her shipmates are the closest thing to a family she has. Fate, however, is not on her side. A storm tosses the Airlea wildly off course. Within the day, she's stranded, alone and injured, on a foggy island known only as Inna's Cove. She's given a choice: become one of the islands' goddess blessed sirens and rescue her best friend, or take her chance with the monster-infested woods. The choice seems obvious. That is, until the mercenaries arrive. Their captain wants a siren--and not even the threat of the goddess' wrath will change his mind. **Cover by Morana

He was wearing a mask. * * * Saved from a rapist by a pirate. At first, Vivienne sees pirates as scums. She believes all of them are full of greed. Well, Vivienne isn't completely wrong.
