Davy Jones's Locker

Summary:

Rare books dealer Stede Bonnet has just discovered the manuscript that could make his career: the diary of Tobias Smollett, former sailor said to have found the horde of the sailor’s devil, Davy Jones, and lived to tell the tale. Keen to have an adventure of his own, Stede and his assistant Lucius fly down to Barbados to authenticate the book and search for Davy Jones’s Locker.

Ed Teach knows all too well that Davy Jones’s Locker is a real place and is not keen to revisit it, happy with his boat and his tours and the vestige of a normal life. But Jack’s gotten him into trouble again and this handsome weirdo just might be able to help him out of it. He owes him and that means going back out on the water … again.

Or The Mummy AU but with pirate lore

Notes:

I'm finally being good and starting to cross-post my SMAUs onto AO3. The original twitter thread is here.

TW: language, alcohol, adventure movie-typical violence and danger, there’s a monster in this folks and it’s not just Jack Rackham

A Head’s Up: if you’ve seen the 1999 cinematic masterpiece The Mummy, you know that not all the characters come out in great shape. If you’re worried about anyone/anything, feel free to dm me and I’ll give you spoilers!
