Hold Fast, Captain.
A Percy Jackson and Pirates of the Carribean adventure!
The Prince of the Sea.
Oh! the dead dare to dream.
The cursed sought to claim,
If only the red blood would remain.
You dare touch the Storm’s chosen,
The one crowned by black roses.
Yo ho! A pirate may lust,
But will never earn his trust.
So pretty, the pearl of the sea,
Singing the siren shanties.
Drown in the depths of his eyes.
Oh! He'll be your demise.
Yo ho! Dancing till dawn,
The Hero won’t be treated as a pawn.
Oh! Lavish him in your riches,
To evade swimming with the fishes.
~~~
Many a pirate felt the calling of the sea in their very blood. They felt the sea salt air thicken as the waves crashed against their wooden vessels. The clear sky seared into their being.
Oh, it was the calm before the storm, they knew. Something was coming. For the Goddess of the Seas called her fish back, leaving the pirates blessed by her domain without their meals. It was her way to protect all those of the sea and send a message to thee. Only a fool would choose to ignore it, lest they wished for their death.
Their dreams filled with a young man, his face never clearly seen, but had the eyes not of a man but of the sea. Oh, blessed one of the seas.
“The Prince is coming,” the Goddess whispered in their dreams, to all those traveling on her waters. Her voice like the very tides. Ebbing and flowing in a soft crescendo. But in her voice held power, a power that spoke of a Goddess with many depths. A low symphony to her hidden trenches, deep and dangerous underneath the crystalline voice of her shallow shores.
Oh, Goddess of the Mirror World. Calypso, the Goddess of summer tides, the sea’s storm and might, the rescuer of the souls lost at sea, and the final judge of all those who dare journey her seas! Don’t mistake her for the daughter of Atlas, for she is more powerful than thee. She is this world’s Goddess of the Seas!
~~~
Dark eyes open. He swallows deeply, his voice but a whisper amongst the ship’s rocking waves, “The Prince is coming.”
Jack Sparrow, captain of the Black Pearl, looks to the horizon. Somehow, he knows he's in for something grand once again. He’ll survive this trial, this test, from the Goddess of the Seas. He knows he can.
For now, though, he’ll be drinking his weight in rum to forget the coming storm.
Notes:
Here's a little snippet of this idea that I've had on the backburner for a while now, but I finally decided to write.
I honestly really love this! And there really needs to be more Percy Jackson and Pirates of the Carribean crossovers!
Also, I am fully headcannoning Captain Jack Sparrow as Aroallo!
"...my first and only love is the sea." ~Jack Sparrow.

Are there any fics out there about Calypso (Tia Dalma) learning to navigate the world in her bonded form? Taking place like right after the Brethren court did it?
idk it just sounds like an interesting concept to me

Can you believe I went 17 years without having never watched Pirates of the Caribbean until my friend tricked me into watching the movies and I naturally and predictably fell in love with Calypso and Davy Jones and had to draw them. They just have a perfect tragic and doomed by the narrative romance 🐙💕

I just realized: in Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest, Davy Jones believes love is a curse, and especially betrothal/marriage; Jack even goes so far as to temp Jones with splitting up Will and Elizabeth's engagement. He's been hurt before by love-- Calypso abandoned him when he longed to see her most.
Jones' heart is buried on an island where the only building is an abandoned church. We learn that, the one time he was allowed to go ashore, he waited for her and she wasnt there. Connected the dots yet?
Jones was going to marry Calypso at the church we see in DMC, and he spent his one day ashore waiting for her at the alter.
This also makes the start of the movie, where Elizabeth is waiting at the alter for Will (who's been arrested), so much more punch-y. They're a near perfect parallel to Jones and Calypso.
