Hongjoong is the captain of the most feared crew of pirates in the Caribbean of all time. The front Ateez present to the world protects them and those they deem as under their protection. Regardless, they are still pirates and still pillage and plunder like everyone else. When they come across a shipwreck survivor, they learn that they might not be the worst of them all anymore. Hongjoong has his world rocked by this new fellow and, on a completely unrelated note, keeps asking Yunho if he's dying, his heart feels weird, is Yunho sure he's not dying? Seonghwa was raised in a wealthy household, spending his whole life preparing to take over from his father as the owner of an investing firm. His whole world collapses down around him in one night and he vows to take revenge on the men who did it. Taking the help of a young captain that looks too familiar for comfort, he starts his decent into debauchery and piracy. Oh, and they save the world. //crossposted on ao3 | twt: 3rachagay
