Synopsis

Cutting through the thick fog that danced over the gloomy sea, the large ship looked like a painting in the middle of the dark, silent water of the night. But always, always there was one…or two restless souls, who refused to sleep. Between rum and lace, between skin and silk.

“The truth is that I don't like one shots, I think they're too short (duh) for us to get attached to the character. Turns out this one ended up proving me completely wrong. It's an incredibly well-written, romantic, light and poetic fic AND IT MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH THE CHARACTERS. I thought it was really cute, heart-warming. It is very rare to find such delicate and elegant writing. It left me needing more gay pirate stories. I actually think the author should continue writing this one. It was the most pleasant surprise of the day. I don't even have words to describe it, really. It's that story, the only problem with this fic is that it ends.”

What Coral doesn't yet know is that her past is coming back to find her. And that she is much more important than she imagines.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again. Helena is in no hurry, nor is she afraid, and she does not let herself be swayed by pretty words. But every rose has its thorn.

One is shelter, the other is storm. For even the gentlest calm holds a flame, and within the storm itself there is already a harbinger of tranquility - each heart carries within itself both the flame and the breeze that can extinguish it. Be careful not to lose yourself. The labyrinth is yours, and only you will find the way out.
