Title: The Otohime's Revenge [3/10]
Characters: Yuuta, Saeki, and many others.
Summary: When Fuji Yuuta rescues a shipwrecked Saeki, it touches off a series of events that neither of them could have anticipated.
Genre and Rating: Drama; this section is PG-13.
Notes: This is the crack bunny that grew fangs, eventually evolved into a crack dragon, and took over my life. I have taken substantial liberties with the period and setting; please don't trip over the anachronisms. Horatio Hornblower or similar tallship fandom this is not. This fic is AU, contains some violence, a few deaths, some angst, occasional smut, a fair amount of sap, and (with any luck) a whole lot of fun. Many thanks to
mercuria for spawning the original idea, and to
_branch_ for cheering me on, and a lovely beta job.
It was midmorning the next day when the shout went up from the crow's nest that a sail had been spotted on the horizon. They sent Dan scrambling for Yuuta, and the crew-Saeki with them-went tense on the deck, alert and poised to pile on more sail and run. Saeki looked up at their colors-still the skull and crossbones of a pirate ship-and prayed that the sail didn't belong to one of the navy's ships.
