Line #160 Fanfic/ThePiratesverse


1	Once upon a time, a young troper decided to write a fanfic. Since ''WesternAnimation/ThePiratesInAnAdventureWithScientists'' probably wasn't going to get a sequel, she would make it herself. She soon came upon a problem, however; she had so many ideas that she couldn't decide which to use.

3	Her solution? Use all of them.

5	'''[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/28064 The Piratesverse]]''' is a FanVerse created by Tropers/{{Mort08}} that serves as a continuation of the ''Pirates!'' story. Beginning shortly after the events of the movie, it chronicles the subsequent adventures of the eccentric Pirate Captain and his loyal crew. [[RuleOfFunny Their]] [[WorldOfHam world]] [[RuleOfCool is]] [[{{Cloudcuckooland}} a strange one]], and the things they encounter are no exception. The series plans to follow the characters through at least the next three years of their lives, [[{{Prequel}} and maybe shed some light on their past as well.]] Originally begun on Website/FanFictionDotNet, it can also be found on Website/{{Deviantart}} and Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.
6
7	There are currently seven completed stories and one work in progress:
8
9	* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/542511 An Adventure With A Volcano]] (3 months after movie): The crew decides that it's high time they visited the Galapagos Islands to see Darwin, and they're right; upon arrival, they're captured by islanders who have selected their friend as the next sacrifice to the local fire god. The Pirate Captain's got a plan to save him, but he's going to need a little bit of firepower...
10	* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/542807/chapters/964970 An Adventure With The Illuminati]] (approx. 4 1/2 months after movie) Now accompanied by Darwin, the crew discovers that the Pirate King has disappeared, leaving behind only a mysterious map. A map that two MalevolentMaskedMen try to kill them over. Men that Darwin, who can't even stab a fencing dummy, somehow curb-stomps to the surprise of everyone. Including himself. And that's when things ''start'' getting weird for him.
11	* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/543612/chapters/966876 An Adventure With Napoleon]] (6 months after movie) Captain and crew are all set for a day of relaxation when a funny little man in a lifeboat tries to come aboard their ship. It's UsefulNotes/NapoleonBonaparte, who's had enough of this "exiled to Elba" business and is commandeering their vessel to return to Paris and resume taking over Europe. What's the band of misfits to do? Kill him? No. Turn him in? No. Disguise Blood Island as GayParee, take him there and convince him it's the real deal? WhatCouldPossiblyGoWrong
12	* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/581290/chapters/1043540 An Adventure With Aliens]] (1 year after movie, crossover with ''Series/DoctorWho'') When the Albino Pirate wishes on a passing comet to be told why TheStarsAreGoingOut, he gets more than he bargained for - namely, the comet itself. It's the TARDIS, with the Tenth Doctor and Donna Noble inside. Something has pulled them out of the Time Vortex, and not by accident. As it becomes apparent that there are far bigger problems around than disappearing stars, the pirates and the time travelers must work together if they hope to defeat the nefarious forces that threaten them all.
13	* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/722658 An Adventure With Disguises]] (approx. 1 year 1 month after movie) What do you get when you mix a night on the town, an annoying shanty and your friends having a little too much grog? In Darwin's case, the revelation that [[SweetPollyOliver your best friend is a woman.]] Cue a crash course in slappings, stab wounds, TrueCompanions and even something [[ShipTease a little more affectionate.]]
14	* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/756246 An Adventure With Pioneers]] (1 year 4 months after movie) Albino Pirate wished for an adventure when the crew went to TheWildWest, but this probably isn't what he had in mind. Swept away during a thunderstorm, he and Polly find themselves in Blue Mud, a sleepy frontier town anxiously waiting for the railroad that will be the answer to its prayers. Too bad the local bandits are dead-set on its destruction. It isn't long before Albino Pirate and the rest of the crew are drawn into an escapade filled with gunslinging, booby traps, unlikely friends and a very annoying bison.
15	* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/917009 An Adventure With Dracula]] (1 year 6 months after movie) A drunken bet with Black Bellamy sends our heroes off to New Orleans in search of the answer to an age-old question; in a straight fight, would a shark beat a Dracula? They soon find a Dracula to test their theory on, and it looks like he could indeed beat a shark — as well as any hapless human who gets in the way of his plans. Before long, there's a new question being asked; can the crew figure out what's going on and sharpen up their vampire-hunting skills in time to save their captain and the world from certain doom?
16	* [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1084947/chapters/2181845 The Pirate Games]] (2 years after movie, WIP) The 1839 Pirate of the Year Awards promises to be like no other, mainly because the Pirate King is making sure of it. He's changing the rules of the game; instead of who can plunder the most booty, the winner will be determined by a GottaCatchEmAll-style treasure hunt across several islands. Who will win? The Pirate Captain, Black Bellamy or the upstart newcomer who throws a wrench in both their plans? What begins as a game of skill turns into something far more dangerous, and Blood Island's two greatest rivals will have to work together to save everything they stand for.

19	!!Tropes include:
20	[[foldercontrol]]
21
22	[[folder:Series-wide]]
23	* AlternateHistory: Much like the movie it's based on. Charles Darwin is a pirate [[spoiler:alongside his future wife]] and a former member of the Illuminati, the main characters ends up fighting Napoleon Bonaparte, there's aliens and vampires running around...

27	%% * TheCaptain: The Pirate Captain, of course.
28	* ContinuationFic: Continues the adventures of the Pirates after the events of their movie.
29	* CrapsaccharineWorld: Blood Island comes across as this sometimes. The pirates happily ostracize and torment those who don't conform to their standards, while the Pirate King is unstable and often dangerous. Downplayed in that these arrangements are made with the locals' happiness in mind and presented as the lesser of two evils in most conflicts.
30	%% * ADayInTheLimelight:
31	%% ** ''Illuminati'' for Darwin.
32	%% ** ''Pioneers'' for Albino Pirate.

34	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The titles of each fic indicate whatever the Pirates are going to be encountering in that story (e.g. "An Adventure With Dracula" prominently features Dracula).
35	* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Black Bellamy. While he is on better terms with the Pirate Captain than he was in the movie and occasionally helps him out (albeit for a price), he's not above screwing with him and/or taking more drastic actions than he would.

38	%% * MyLocal: The Barnacle's Face Tavern on Blood Island.

41	%% * RagtagBunchOfMisfits: Our heroes, ladies and gentlemen.
42	%% * RecurringCharacter: Black Bellamy and the Pirate King have been upgraded to this.
43	* ShoutOut:

45	** When the Pirate Captain uses pictures to explain his ZanyScheme to [[spoiler:take Napoleon to Saint Helena]], he draws [[spoiler:the Pirate King]] as a [[Literature/{{It}} monstrous clown that eats his victim]].
46	* Chapter 4 of ''Aliens'' is called "Victoria's Secret," and Chapter 11 is called [[Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire "A Matter of Ice and Fire."]]
47	** According to the Doctor, [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow]] is fictional while [[VideoGame/MonkeyIsland Guybrush Threepwood]] is real.
48	** The shanty in Chapter 1 of ''Disguises'' is [[Music/TheDecemberists "The Mariner's Revenge Song."]]
49	** Albino Pirate's cowboy outfit in ''Pioneers'' is meant to evoke [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Dorothy's gingham dress and ruby slippers.]]
50	** The surname of Blue Mud's sheriff is [[Film/BlazingSaddles Hedley]].
51	%% * ZanyScheme: Most, if not all, of the Pirate Captain's plans.

68	* AmnesiacDissonance: Darwin fears that [[spoiler:if he regains his Illuminati memories, his current personality will be erased and he'll become a ruthless killer just like them.

101	* OrphansPlotTrinket: The ruby ring that Darwin wears around his neck. [[spoiler:It's actually an Illuminati emblem, and his mother was planning to sell it so they could begin new lives in England. When she dies, she gives it to him as a reminder to survive and seek a better life.]]
