    Summary

    In the very recent days out on the sea their co-captain Gillion had revealed something personal about his triton biology to them. In an anxious, unexpected conversation he’d sheepishly admitted to them that tritons required a brief hibernation at least once a winter for them to maintain a healthy metabolic system.

    Gillion described it almost like the way they sometimes restarted Alphonse’s gears if he was experiencing malfunctions, that it was a way for a triton’s body to shut down and restore balance to all of its internal functions and prepare for the summer months full of intense swimming and food-catching.

    When he brought it up he seemed beyond embarrassed, mentioning that if he could he wouldn’t have told them in the first place as to not worry or inconvenience them but he didn’t want them to be frightened when he inevitably started sleeping and did not wake for potentially up to two weeks.

    -----------
    Or, the three times Gillion denied his triton instincts and the one time he didn't.

    Summary

    Captain Black was infamous on the seas of Mana. He was one of the newest and youngest Pirate Lords and everyone knew of his name. They knew his ship and the black sails that cast a shadow over any ship that he approached. They didn't know his face. They didn't know his real name. All the people of Mana knew were his title and the fear that he struck into their hearts.

    Admiral Jay Ferin, daughter of the revered Jayson Ferin, was known by everyone in the oversea. She was known to be a lot more empathetic than her family. She cared for people. She didn't want to be feared. All she wanted was to make a change in the world. After getting reprimanded for the millionth time by her father for showing empathy for "criminals" who were just fighting for their freedom, she was sent to the sea and tasked with hunting down Captain Black.

    Gillion Tidestrider, "Champion of the Undersea, Hero of the Deep", was exiled from the only place he knew. Since then, he's done nothing but get in trouble with not only the navy but pirates too. One night, he stumbles onto a large ship after escaping a fleet of Navy ships. Only to be met by Captain Black's shadowed face and his glowing smile.

    "What do we have here?"

    Summary

    "Something is wrong with Chip, and if anyone should know what the fuck is up with his head, it should be him. Right? Fucking wrong, apparently. It's driving him crazy. He's been so emotional since Noctis, and he keeps having all these stupid impulsive thoughts out of nowhere.
    ...
    "He could have sworn he outgrew this shit years ago."

     

    Chip struggles to cope with the aftermath of being charmed, cursed, barely an adult, and desperately in need of a father figure all at once. Further complications come in the form of three emotionally stunted co-captains not knowing how to deal with any of this, but they'll figure it out together.

    With a little help from a sunburnt stranger they pull out of the ocean, of course. Because nothing on this godsdamned ship is allowed to make sense.
