    World-building in this story is potentially beyond any I've read in a fanon work. Could almost be classified as its own universe with its take on OCs, techniques, and clan politics. And beyond the awesome world-building, the writing itself is *chef's kiss* *chef's kiss*. Needless to say, an absolutely stunning masterpiece so far. So glad I get to reread it and it's still updating!

    Just wow. When it comes to world-building, J. R. R. Tolkien's works might take the crown, and this story does a beautiful rendition of it. Following a modern p.o.v of The Hobbit series, Middle-Earth becomes a wonderous and absolutely terrifying place as the female protagonist gets a little too comfy dancing with death. She's an absolutely fascinating character herself, written with the type of worldly experience that makes you think she's got her own stories to tell. Whether it's on Middle-Earth or from some place in our own world, the scenery and detail to locations is stunning. A beautifully fun and poignant read.

    Summary

    "You have to come with me," he shook his head.

    His tone offered little room for argument, but she didn't care a bit.

    "Why?" Theodora demanded.

    "Because, Miss Byrne, to the great sorrow of the both of us, my saving you means that you are my responsibility until another steps forward to take over that role. Should you get yourself killed out here through sheer force of foolishness, it is a stain upon my character as well as your own. Now, will you come with me, or will you force me to drag you?"

    **

    When Theodora Byrne wakes up one morning, no longer in her cozy modern bed, but adrift at sea - and on a sea that's home to pirates, both undead and living, no less - she has no choice but to rely on the charity, and the eventual kindness, of Captain James Norrington if she wants to survive. She has no way of knowing the feelings that kindness will soon foster...nor what she'll be willing to risk for a chance to save him from his tragic fate before the end.

    I stumbled upon this by accident and read straight through it in one sitting! And that is an accomplishment, considering the sheer length of this masterpiece. It's so well-written, taking a completely different perspective of the first three movies of the Pirates of the Caribbean with a modern female protagonist. Nothing's set in stone, and even with significant knowledge of the movies, our heroine is in constant danger. From the intricacies of Port Royal to The Dutchman's brig, it's an immersive pirate adventure.
