How you ask? The night sky is a chart. Those who know to read it will never get lost.

A/N: This is my contribution to @cy-inky's One Week Challenge!

Prompt: "Don't smile at me like that", Silvio Ricci, Pirate AU

And yes I agree with @nightghoul381 that the hardest part of this challenge is the 500 word limit 😆

WC: 500 exactly baby

It’s the smell that hits you first, a perfume of musky bodies and the warm scent of stew bubbling on the hearth. You step inside the dockside inn, the sound of your Cavalier boots on the wooden floor growing louder as conversation shifts from a flood to a slow drip. Eyes widen over mugs of frothy ale, spoons pause halfway to mouths. Some patrons sink further into their worn booths, gazes averted. Others stare openly with sharp, gleaming interest. But they all watch as you make your way towards the bar and the tall man sitting at the far end of it. Your chains of gold make as much noise as his do. 

He glances over his shoulder as you approach and you catch the surprised gleam in his sea-blue eyes, like a shiny coin glinting in sunlight. But he turns away, lifting the glass of whiskey he’s been nursing and feigning a nonchalance you know in your bones he doesn’t feel.

“Thought you never wanted to see me again,” he mutters, a quiet snarl in his voice. 

“Can we talk somewhere…..private, Captain?” You have no time to waste.

Silvio knows you well enough to hear the steel in your voice, as sharp as the rapier you wear at your hip. Still, he draws out his last sip of whiskey just to annoy you before setting his empty glass down on the bar with a loud thunk.

He motions for you to follow him, away from the whispering voices, up the creaky wooden steps to the room he's renting. Closing the door behind you, your gaze is immediately seized by his and memories roll through you like sudden waves: 

-your sword at his throat and his slow, fearless smile

-the deck of your ship, an endless sky full of stars

-his golden chains against your bare skin, your hands mapping his lean body

-the fierce fighting between two stubborn souls, two captains of two ships with two very different ideas of what freedom means, you think love, he thinks independence

-your last meeting: a smashed tumbler, you damning him to the salty depths....Silvio walking away without a backwards glance 

“What’s got ya approachin’ a man you said you wanted dead?”

You draw a deep breath. “I’ve found it. Obsidian’s Map.”

The words need a moment to sink in. The treasure map of Obsidian was always considered a myth. But you both believed differently.

And now, you have it. 

“Where’s it say to go?” His words are edged with interest and eagerness.

You run a hand over your frock coat. This is the part you’ve been dreading.

“Alexandrite.” Your jaw clenches. “Don’t smile at me like that.”

He keeps smiling, smug and beautiful and you are doomed.

“You need my ship.”

It pains you to nod but you do.

He steps towards you, a thumb enticingly brushing your chin, dredging up feelings that were never really drowned, no matter how much you drank.

“Seems like you gotta convince me……Captain.”

Ikepri fantasy au

[atelier-maroron]

Please nobody let me forget about these Ikevamp and Ikepri AUs that I have to scream into all of your heads about

Ikevamp (i have too many...too too many...)

Superhero AU | Designing those costumes is gonna be fuuun

Zombie Apocalypse AU | This one's super sad. I'm sorry Theo T_T

Mech AU | I think I'm gonna roll my ideas for the pirate AU into this. And do I want to design outfits and mechs for everyone??? YESSS????? HELL YESSSSS?????

Angels & Demons AU | technically doubles as a D&D AU

Spy AU | Because I'm obsessed with Napo being an undercover nerd and I want to do a bunch of Mission Impossible redraws with him

Retirement Home AU | Lest we forget about our elders

Cowboy AU | Just an excuse for me to write MC being smexed by cowboys

Fate/Stay Night AU | Hnggggg

Medieval Fantasy AU | Because I love the idea of disgraced knight Jean escorting MC through a land riddled with monsters

I think I have more AUs but let me just stop here before you all start throwing things at me but 1 more orz

Murder Mystery/Whodunnit AU | Don't worry, the "murdered" individual isn't one of the guys or MC

Ikepri

Mech AU | Because I decided the Human Mech Faction needs to face off against the Vampire Mech Faction

Belle and the Princes are Cage Fighters AU | Mwahaha

I really should just do all the Ikevamp AUs for Ikepri as well orz orz

[wordycheeseblob]

Che palle! You've got a lot of nerve giving orders to the captain

[wordycheeseblob]

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

[wordycheeseblob]

Krummes Holz gibt auch gerades Feuer

[wordycheeseblob]

Clavis: someone caused enough damage as is. The crew is upset.

Chevalier: who?

Clavis: It's the people working on this vessel, but that's not important right now.

[wordycheeseblob]

Yves: alright, Jin's passed out drunk onboard... again. What shall we do with the drunken sailor?

Leon: Shave his belly with a rusty razor

Licht: Put him in a longboat till he's sober

Yves: Stick him in a barrel with a hosepipe on him

Sariel: Put him in the bed with the captain's daughter

Everyone: *looks at Sariel*

Sariel: *shrugs*

Context: The captain's daughter is actually another name for flogging someone with a nine-tailed whip, a common punishment for naval crews. In this case "with" is "using" as in using the whip until he passes out.

[violettduchess]

A/N: I was really surprised and happy to see people liked Silvio's Pirate AU for @cy-inky's 1 week challenge. I had so much fun writing it, I decided to make a part 2. Here it is! (You do need to read part one to follow this, its not a stand alone fic)

WC: 1.1 k

Silvio’s thumb runs over your chin, his head is cocked to one side as he searches your face, his blue eyes alight like the seas during a summer storm.

“Seems like you gotta convince me…..Captain.”

You slap his hand away, the sound like a pistol shot in the confines of his small rented room.

“What the fuck,” he snarls, jerking away from you, sudden anger raising the color in his cheeks. 

It was perhaps a tad excessive but if you had allowed this man to touch you like that, had lost yourself in the familiar feel of his fingers on your skin, the shifting ocean of his eyes, you know it would have ended with you in his bed and an empty room in the morning, sheets twisted with the agony of abandonment, the air thick with disappointment.

No, it’s a dance you have done far too many times with Captain Silvio Ricci. Your heart is best kept locked in a steel cage, away from his grasp.

“The only convincing you need, jackass, is one look at the map and the knowledge of what kind of bounty is waiting for anyone who can follow it.” Your voice crackles with irritation, at the way his touch is still haunting your skin.

He crosses the small room in several paces, yanking open the drawer of his shoddy wooden nightstand and pulls out a flask. He petulantly takes a long pull before wiping his mouth and regarding you with narrowed eyes.

“I ain’t lettin’ you anywhere near my ship until I see the map.”

“I’m not showing it to you until you guarantee me and my crew passage on your ship.” The waters around Alexandrite are notoriously dangerous. So much so that no ship has ever traveled there and returned whole. 

No ship except his.

“The whole fucking crew? No way. I gotta watch out for my own. You and no one else.”

You shift your weight, annoyance tap-dancing across your expression. “Your boat is big enough.”

He shakes his head, his gold earring swinging in time to his stubbornness. “Uh uh. Your crew don’t know my ship. And I ain’t gonna take on the chore of babysittin’ people who have only ever sailed on your dingy.”

His jab at the size of your ship has always been one of his favorite things to provoke you with. 

You exhale through gritted teeth. “Fine. Just me.” 

There it is. That easy, irritatingly sexy grin that sends your heart rattling the bars of its cage and has other much neglected parts of you screaming for attention. 

“Well now ya just gotta show me the map and we’re good.” He leans back on the bed, resting his weight on one hand. Another familiar sight, echoing countless forgone nights spent in his cabin, in your cabin, in dockside inns like this one.

You clear your throat even though it’s dry as a bone.

“I’ll bring it to your ship in the morning. Along with a trunk of my belongings. We sail at dawn.”

Turning on heel, you can hear his voice rising as you leave. “Whaddaya mean we sail at dawn? I’m the captain! I say when we sail, you-” The closing door cuts off the rest of his words and now you’re the one grinning as you bound down the wooden steps, away from his room.

Sunrise at sea is never disappointing. You lean your arms on the wooden railing of The Sea Bitch, Silvio’s ship, watching as the wind puffs out the mainsail, urging you away from port and toward the distant, dangerous waters of Alexandrite. The sky can’t seem to decide which color to wear so she wears them all: pale pink, rich apricot, deep orange, soft lavender, arresting gold.

The crew watched you board. Some grinned knowingly, others were openly warm and welcoming, happy to see you again. But there were some crew members who quickly averted their eyes, only mumbling a welcome because you are a captain in your own right. You wonder what stories Silvio has spun behind your back, what tall tales he created to justify your absence. 

“You said one fuckin’ trunk. What you had my crew hauling wasn’t a trunk but a goddamned wardrobe.” His voice cuts through the peaceful scene, his jewelry jangling as he comes to a stop beside you, clutching the railing with his strong hands. The early sunlight winks off the deep blue stones of his many rings. One in particular catches your attention. A braided band of gold and platinum on the middle finger of his left hand. It’s easily outshined by the gaudiness of his other rings but you would know it anywhere. After all, you gave it to him one idyllic moonlit night forever ago.

The sight of it has you jerk away from him, forcing your gaze out across the water, gleaming in the early morning light. Why the hell is he still wearing it? And the moment you have the thought, your brain begins pointing a finger at you, shaking its head. Hypocrite. What is the delicate chain you wear around your ankle, hidden in your black Cavalier boot that no one ever sees but you? The silver one dotted with tiny, twinkling blue sapphires that he fastened himself with those long, nimble fingers.

“So where’d you put it? Are you kicking poor Carlo out of his quarters?” The first mate is such a polite man he probably would not mind. In fact he would probably insist it was an honor. 

Silvio turns his head and there is trouble in the glint of his blue, blue eyes, in the flash of his white teeth.

“I ain’t puttin’ out any of my crew. You’re sleepin’ in my cabin where I can keep an eye on ya.”

Shock and anger have turned your blood to lava and your reaction is just as explosive. “The fuck I am!”

He is utterly unmoved by your outburst, simply shrugging a shoulder. “I didn’t say ya gotta be in my bed. I got a couch in there.” His head tilts and his grin slides into place. “Unless, of course, ya change your mind and then I’ll consider sharin’.”

And with that he walks away and you wonder as your fingers curl into your palms if he knows how dangerously close he is to you running him through with your rapier.

Risking your ship suddenly seems a much more palatable option than spending another minute with him. You turn your gaze towards the port which is already only a smudge in the distance.

Too late now. 

You sigh, turning back to the ocean and bracing yourself on the railing.

You’ve made your bed and you have to lie in it.

But you’ll be damned if it includes Captain Silvio Ricci ever again.

It's the beginning of 🍂 October🍁 and while for many writers that means Kinktober⛓️ dominates and fall and spooky challenges 🎃 abound, I had an idea for something slightly different:

How it works:

Below is a list of "costumes", each one representing an AU

Send a request with any Ikepri suitor (including side characters such as Cyran, Carlo, Walter, etc) and a choice of "costume" from the list below

That costume becomes the AU! You can also specify if you'd like the fic to be fluff, angst, spice or spooky!

For example: Silvio + "superhero"+ fluff gets you a fluffy fic with Silvio as a superhero!

Here are the costumes:

Cowboy🐎

Vampire🩸

Pirate🦜

Devil🔥

Angel 🪽

Ghost👻

Superhero🦸

Wizard🔮

Space Captain👨‍🚀

Mad Scientist🧪 

Werewolf🐺

Detective 🔎

Gangster💰

Artist🎨

Musician 🎸

Your own idea!💡

I'll keep requests open for 24 hours. As always, requests are answered at my discretion.

Happy October! 🍂🌠

Special thank you to @xbalayage for being the sounding board for this idea 💜

[violettduchess]

Hiya Violettttttt 💕 I hope you're having a good day!

I was wondering if you had any plot ideas wandering around in that brain of yours that you haven't gotten to writing yet? Aside from asks/prompts/reqs from other people.

💕

Hello you wonderful person you 💜

Although I have a pretty full inbox, I do have a few ideas that are my own including headcanons about early mornings with the Ikepri suitors as well as more for that Silvio Pirate AU I've written two fics for and is morphing into a series. It would follow the Only One Bed trope but with a pair of ex-lovers which I've never done before and I think would be really fun to explore.

(Those are here if you haven't seen them yet Pirate AU ,Pirate AU Part 2)

I also have a Leonardo Royalty AU which is totally outlined but needs to be written and a sci fi Gilbert AU that is over a year old and still languishing in my docs as a WIP which I would eventually like to finish 😆
