Story Notes: Yep. It had to be done.
Thanks so much to our queen Irandamay for creating this absolute jewel of a banner among her many other requests, and thank you to the mods for giving me the go ahead to use a historical character in a fic! I am choosing to keep this story unbeta'd because I'm trying to incorporate too much plot into something that should be plotless and... no beta should have to sort through this big a mess during a timed event.

Apologies for the lack of Spuffy in this first chapter (honestly I'm cutting this so close to the wire because it's so HARD writing for exclusively everyone else) but... there are fun piratey times ahead for both of them so stay tuned!
This AU takes place about a year and a half after Buffy's jump from the tower, so in canon that would be mid-season 7. In this story Buffy has not been resurrected yet.

A lot of Anne Bonny's life has become a myth, and there is very little of her life that is actually confirmed. Any facts I include about her (outside of the supernatural aspect obviously!) are things I've read, but which may not be historically accurate.

Anne Bonny was reportedly spared from hanging when she was captured because she was pregnant, and she disappeared from her prison cell shortly after that. I am therefore choosing to believe she would have had her newborn with her wherever she ended up next!

I usually try to respond to comments in a timely manner, but with this story I am beyond terrified every single week that it's going to crumble and I'll miss the deadline for this challenge, so I've decided to put that all on hold until it's finished! But thank you so much for all your lovely words on a very chaotic, messy, bizarre story for me, and I'll get to those responses soon.
