A great swashbuckling romance in the mythical Age of Sail
A secret identity cleverly used to add convolutions and complications to said romance
A relatable, fully-fleshed genderlfluid protagonist
Love and lust and other confusing emotions (aka watch Dwalin squirm, he does an excellent job of it)
Said love and lust delightfully consummated
A compulsively readable story that’s so plain good you don’t even need to be in the fandom to enjoy it
Perfect length to finish in a weekend

Summary:
Captain Dwalin - a privateer for the Crown - is in love with beautiful, sweet, innocent Lady Norine.
His main rival (whom he is most definitely not in lust with) is the cockiest little man he ever met - Captain Vulpes, a pirate with a fast mongrel of a ship and a bad habit of stealing his targets out from under his nose.
...it's going to take him a while to realize they're the same genderfluid person.
My bookmark for this one says: 'The pirate AU to end all pirate AUs', and that's actually a 120% accurate sales pitch.
For those in need of more convincing, I propose you read this for:
What more can I say? One of my perennial favourites, and I like to spread the love ♥
