“The Angel of Death, the ferryman of the Styx, the terror of the western seas. One of the most feared captains ever to sail, and yet, I have to wonder… how did a man like you end up all on his own? We searched the area where you were found—not another soul in sight. So,” He fixes him with a long look, allowing the silence to hover like a dark cloud, the words rolling off of his tongue with all the venom and smugness he can muster, “—tell me, Philza. Where is your crew?”

OR: Technoblade is a naval captain, and Phil his unwilling prisoner. Somehow, they manage to come out of it as friends in the end.
I love this story SO MUCH. I loved the Pirates of the Caribbean movies growing up but never found enough good pirate related content outside of that franchise - until this story, that is. I cannot express even in writing how closely I hold this story to my heart and absolutely adore the writer for creating it. Like many other digital fanfics, I wish I had a physical copy, but not having one will not deter me from enjoying the story :]
I was not prepared to feel that emotional over pirate men.
Honestly, the ending of this is so bittersweet. Not the story, it ended perfectly, just- the idea of saying goodbye to these versions of these characters that you crafted and brought to life and loved, it aches, just a bit. It felt like you could choose any character from it and delve deeper and there would be more and more to find.
enemies to friends to enemies to best friends??? 😭😭😭 platonic friendship??? 😭😭😭 pirates????😭😭😭 trauma??? 😭😭 I LOVED EVERY FUVKING THING ABOUT THIS SOMEONE SEDATE mE
