Story is m/m, if you couldn’t guess by the pic.

This is my first shot at writing pirates but I’m now intrigued! The journal allows me to resell the story elsewhere after a certain period. I’m seriously thinking of writing a full blown story about Captain Joshua and his “cabin boy” Tristan.

BTW, Tristan is of age and that’s made very clear in the story. The “boy” references are Joshua trying to delude himself. Poor man.

Joshua’s the one with the long black hair. Tristan is the cutie with the pistols and rapier.
