Podfic by KeeperofSeeds here 

Henry talks more and more, and has taken up the habit of mimicking the orders Barbossa calls to the crew. It is a hilarious sight, a small boy, a baby really, with Will’s face and Elizabeth's eyes and what is probably Jack’s hat, standing next to the dreaded Captain Barbossa screaming out “Man the cannons!” and “Put your backs into it you scurvy bilge rats, or I'll feed ya to the sharks!”.

Title: BarbossaElizabeth Fifty Sentences by Person4
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Hector Barbossa, Elizabeth Swan, Hector Barbossa/Elizabeth Swan
Word Count: 3263
Warnings: Sex, Violence,
Summary: 50 sentences, mostly canon up to the end of the 3 movie.
Why I Rec This Fic: For me its more about respect/trust/partnership then romance – so what really gets me in this is the solid characterication of both her and him. He is a pirate, greed and violence and she is too, hungry for more, not a bit practical and sometimes still so young. 

"Poison is a woman's weapon, Miss Swann," he'd said as he'd flicked the small bottle at her, and though she'd bristled at the thought that she'd resort to such dirty tactics she could never bring herself to throw away the first gift he'd given to her as a comrade rather than a captor.

She had never even realized he could look guilty until the day he came to her and told her that young William had called him 'father'; it was one of the hardest things she'd ever done to say to him "Well... that is the title that deserves to go to the man who is here to watch him grow."

She laughed and twirled her way across the deck of their ship when the first flakes began to fall, and Barbossa was surprised to find that it lightened his heart to watch her, for all that he was certain she'd come to hate the snow within a few days of sailing on the frozen ocean.

"Can't believe any of those scurvy currs would've bothered getting a marker made for me," Barbossa muttered as they stood before the empty grave with his name on it in Tortuga, but Elizabeth thought he sounded pleased.

Summary: Shana is in the business of trade, not charity.

Title: bar fight by KeeperofSeeds
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Anamaria/Elizabeth Swan
Anamaria, Elizabeth Swan
Word Count: 100
Summary: "Anamaria didn't think she'd be running for her life so soon after the Black Pearl came into port, but Elizabeth it seems, is drawn to trouble."
Why I Rec This Fic: There is not enough femslash in this fandom, and there is not enough love for Anamaria.

Title: I Came To Her For Healing by anactoria
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Elizabeth Swann/Calypso (Tia Dalma),
Elizabeth Swann, Calypso (Tia Dalma)
Word Count: 590
Summary: "All rivers run into the sea."
Why I Rec This Fic: I don´t normally read First Person POV but I like this ship, and the snippet with their rythmic repetition in the first line, feels very fitting for Calypso, the sea who can´´t be hold.

Title: Sea Rites by orphan_account
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Elizabeth Swann/Calypso (Tia Dalma),
Elizabeth Swann, Calypso (Tia Dalma)

Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Elizabeth Swann/Calypso (Tia Dalma),
Elizabeth Swann, Calypso (Tia Dalma)
Word Count: 2630
Summary: "There is a heartbeat. A pulse and throb that reverberates through her bones. A song that sweetly calls her down to where the waves lapped at the dock."
Why I Rec This Fic: Pirate King Elizabeth! Femslash! Elizabeths first love being the sea.

Title: The Highway Is for Gamblers by the_dala
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Giselle, Scarlett, Giselle/Scarlett, Annemaria, Giselle/Anamaria, Cpt Jack Sparrow
Word Count: 3048
Warnings: Sex, sex work, abuse, violence, strangulation, degrading language
Summary: “Scarlett and Giselle carve out a life in Tortuga.“
Why I Rec This Fic: Female centric, female friendship and femslash! The smell of orange blossoms and people becoming their best and free selves (also slapping Cpt Jack Sparrow because he deserves it).

She turns back just in time to see the straw-haired tart lay another on Jack, as she’s no doubt been itching to do since his last sweet words faded from her ears. They retreat to opposite ends of the town, though not without exchanging an almost-polite nod.
[...]
Giselle ignores him. She drapes herself over the bar to kiss Scarlett on the cheek, smelling of orange blossom.

Title: a taste of freedom by afterism for elizabeth_rice
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Anamaria/Elizabeth Swan
Anamaria, Elizabeth Swan

Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing:  Elizabeth Swann,
Elizabeth/Will Turner,
Word Count: 153
Summary: "Just how does Elizabeth keep in contact with William for those ten years he is the Captain of the Dutchman?"
Why I Rec This Fic: Elizabeth/being a legend! Elizabeth the pirate lord! Slightly weird/creepy romantic gestures that are very in tune with the aesthetic of the movies.

Title: Tales and Legends by Carmarthen
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Elizabeth Swann, Elizabeth Swann/Tia Dalma-Calypso, Elizabeth Swann/Will Turner, Elizabeth Swan/Cpt Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swan/Hector Barbossa
Word Count: 370
Summary: "There's many tales folk tell about Elizabeth Turner. Some of them are true."
Why I Rec This Fic: Elizabeth/being a legend! Elizabeth/other woman!
I love stories about stories, and the tone is perfect for the wide of the world Potc offers.

Her crew is full half women, fierce Chinese maids and mothers, twice as hard and thrice as dangerous to cross as their men. They said a man had best set his affairs in order before crossing Elizabeth Turner and the pirate fleet of Singapore.

Title: Flight of the Dutchman by azurelunatic
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Elizabeth Swann, Elizabeth Swann/Will Turner
Word Count: 525
Why I Rec This Fic: More adventures of Liz the Pirate King. This time her role in a world that gets smaller and smaller. A fools fight.

Elizabeth watches her son grow tall and strong. He is heir to things he cannot possibly understand. The seas grow more and more dangerous for pirates. A King has duties. Old wives who talk about herding cats should try to get a consensus out of pirates.

Title: Eurybia by Annerb
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Elizabeth Swann, Will Turner, Cpt Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth/Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann/Cpt Jack Sparrow
Word Count: 1273
Summary: AU-Elizabeth as the captain of the Flying Dutchman
Why I Rec This Fic: Elizabeth/being a legend! Elizabeth/other woman!

These women who did not take to the sea by free will, but were bent and chained to it. They are the ones who have never tasted choice.
It is the one thing Elizabeth can give them.

Title: a woman will be king of men by angel_at_the_door
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Will Turner, Elizabeth Swann, Calypso/Tia Dalma, Jack Sparrow, Davey Jones
Word Count: 1679
Summary: “Here is the story of a woman who ruled the world, bloodied sword and all
(How Elizabeth became the Pirate King and what came after)“
Why I Rec This Fic: Elizabeth gonna write her own story! (Elizabeth will not wait on that shore for 10 years!)

Title: Breathing Underwater by nekare
Fandom: Pirates of the Caribean
Character/Pairing: Elizabeth Swann, Hector Babossa, Cpt Jack Sparrow, Tia Dalma-Calypso, Will Turner, Elizabeth Swan/Will Turner
Word Count: 4466
Warnings: Sex
Summary: “In the end, ten years aren’t actually all that much.“
Why I Rec This Fic: i could read a book with a tousand ways Elizabeth spend the year(s) “waiting“ for Will.

Her son is eleven months and four days old when they go on board of the Black Pearl in Port Royal’s docks. It feels like she can finally breathe again, no longer surrounded by constrictive land.
[...]
She sees a dragon off the coast of Korea, thin and snake-like, like the mache paper ones they pay tribute with in China, red tail swirling as it flies by the ship, long claws barely touching the water. The scales on its belly shine as much as the ocean does by sunlight. 

Indian Jones fic rec

Title: Could It Be Simple? by Merfilly
Fandom: Indian Jones
Character/Pairing: Indiana Jones, Marion Ravenwood, Indiana Jones/Marion Ravenwood
Word Count: 1234
Why I Rec This Fic: The dynamic is sweet and fun, and I love Marion in this (which is of cause my main criteria for Indiana Jones fic), also hard dirt-dirty archelogy work!

Title: Girl Sailor by slagsmacker
Fandom: Indiana Jones
Character/Pairing: Marion Ravenwood, Marion&Abner Ravenwood, Indiana Jones/Marion Ravenwood
Word Count: 1504
Summary: 50 sentences, “The life and times of Marion Ravenwood“
Why I Rec This Fic: Marion deserves all the fic, and the format of 1/50 sentences is something that i always like for side characters because it opens a lot of doors/peeks into different times/situation (and sometimes verses).

As a child Marion is an awful dancer, she is a foot taller than the boys and has arms that can wrap around them twice over; her dancing teacher watches her aggressive attempt at a waltz and suggests she should try boxing instead.

Her mother was a terrible cook and a brilliant story teller - Marion remembers that much.

Title: Fresh Start by Lieju
Fandom: Indiana Jones
Character/Pairing:  Henry "Indiana" Jones, Short Round (Wan Li),

Word Count: 1537
Summary: "Short Round runs into a tall American in Shanghai in 1935 and sees a chance for a fresh start."
Warning: Misgendering, reference to missionary work & light period typical racism
Why I Rec This Fic: I loved Short Round as a kid (suprise) and I still love him as an adult. I am also always there for more trans fic.

She gave his hat and rope (or was it really a whip?) an another look. "Are you a real cowboy, Sir? An American cowboy?"
Doctor Jones gave Shorty an amused look. "A cowboy? Not really. I am from America though."
Yes!
Shorty needed a fresh start, and if she went to America with Doctor Jones-
Doctor Jones who was convinced she was a boy-
But why not? You could be anything you wanted in America, that was what the movies had said. So why would Shorty not just be a boy, then?
He gave his hand to Doctor Jones. "You shake on it! A promise between men."
Doctor Jones smiled. But he took Shorty's hand. "Promise."

Title: The Neo Masculinic Era: A Paper By Dr Jones. by apiphile

Henry "Indiana" Jones & Henry Jones Sr., Henry "Indiana" Jones & Short Round (Wan Li),

Henry "Indiana" Jones & Short Round (Wan Li),
Word Count: 3491
Summary: "Indy had told him all about America during those long, hot days as they made their way to Delhi, spinning stories of his youth in New Jersey and New Mexico to Shorty on the voyage across the Pacific and during the plane ride from Chicago to Connecticut.  Indy had promised him all sorts of adventures in America.  Hot dogs and ice cream; fishing trips and camping.  And baseball.":
Why I Rec This Fic: It is just cute fluff.

Fandom: Indiana Jones
Character/Pairing: Short Round (Wan Li), Willie Scott
Short Round (Wan Li) & Willie Scott
Word Count: 4266

little woman fic rec

Title: Necessity by Who Shot AR (akerwis)
Fandom: Little Woman
Character/Pairing: Josephine March
Word Count: 306
Summary: "I often think I should like to [run away], especially since my hair was cut, so if you ever miss us, you may advertise for two boys and look among the ships bound for India."
Why I Rec This Fic: Trans Jo!

Jo March has been growing his hair long.

Title: drive me crazy half the time by icouldbuildacastle
Fandom: Little Woman
Character/Pairing:  Josephine March, Amy March, Josephine March & Amy March,
Word Count: 738
Summary: "Jo had a strong suspicion that it was less to do with growing up, and more to do with living in different houses that had helped her relationship with Amy. Much like how Teddy would drive her mad if she had to live with him, although he was her dearest friend. Well, perhaps that was why Amy and Laurie were so well-suited."
For all their quarrels, Amy and Jo excelled at being neighbors.
Why I Rec This Fic: Amy and Jo are very similar which is half the problem, the relationship is happy like this but also realistic.

With Laurie

Title: Playing House by Canon_Is_Relative
Fandom: Little Woman
Character/Pairing: Theodore Laurence/Elizabeth March
Theodore Laurence, Elizabeth March
Word Count: 100
Summary: They call it playing house.

Title: Frost and Flowers by Beth Harker (chiana606)
Fandom: Little Woman
Character/Pairing: Elizabeth March, Josephine March, Josephine March&Elizabeth March, Josephine March&Theodore Laurence
Word Count: 541
Summary: “Beth gets a postcard that helps her understand why Jo turned down Laurie's proposal.“
Why I Rec This Fic: Beth is very relatable to me, and her mindset that values finding and sharing little beauty and joys in the world is hopeful and comforting.

Beth could sew big, clumsy peonies onto any surface she wished. It was the kind of thing that made people smile, even if it was stupid and childish coming from a woman of nineteen, who might well have a household to run if life hadn't gotten away from her.

Title: make my own way by detective_terrible_detective
Fandom: Little Woman
Character/Pairing: Theodore Laurence, Amy March, Theodore Laurence/Amy March
Word Count: 1101
Summary: "They never have children. Neither of them are the type of people that do (or should). They are content with their simple existence, full of paint and laughter and music and love, all the gaps and cracks filled with each other."
Why I Rec This Fic: In the 2019 movie there is that line about "just because my dreams are different than yours it doesn’t make them less" but i think the line is weaken by ending with the same kind of married with children ending for each (living) sister, and this just also feels more in line with their characters. The whole concept of Amy getting what she wants just makes me happy, her ambition/will of survival is such a interesting, wonderful character trait but it nearly cost her a lot too and I am happy she matures and finds this for herself again. I like that she is allowed to be angry and not forgive her family.

Title: Something Splendid by thelittlestbird
Fandom: Little Woman
Character/Pairing: Theodore Laurence/Amy March, Amy March, Theodore Laurence.
Word Count: 2308
Summary: “Go and do something splendid that will make her love you.”
Why I Rec this Fic: Amy is wonderful in this fic, way more then an ornament to society, she is searching for her future, growing up to a better truer version of herself and she sees beauty in the world and art and shares that with Laurie, its the kind of falling in love that i like to read about, viva sharing pieces that are important to eachother, pieces about how they relate to the world around them.

I’ll never be Mendelssohn, and certainly not Mozart. That kind of genius may be gone from the world forever. And even if it isn’t, it certainly isn’t in me. So I suppose I just have to be Laurie as hard as I can, and as well as I can. But I still don’t know what that means, or how I can do it.
[...]
Before I thought I wanted to teach art, I thought I wanted to be an artist, and before that, I just thought that I wanted to be rich. But that isn’t enough, of course. Shouldn’t money be put to work too, like our minds and bodies are? It can help other people reach their destinations. We remember Michelangelo, but we remember the Medici for encouraging and inspiring him. There’s something grand in that, too.

Title: the march girls by firstaudrina
Fandom: Little Woman
Character/Pairing: Theodore Laurence/Josephine March, Theodore Laurence/Amy March, Theodore Laurence/Margaret March, Theodore Laurence/Elizabeth March
Theodore Laurence, Elizabeth March, Josephine March, Amy March, Margaret March
Word Count: 2555
Summary: AUs “Laurie marries Amy, but sometimes he wonders.“ 3 woman Laurie doesnt marry and one he does.
Why I Rec This Fic: I love the gentleness for all of the girls, not only for Beth and Jo who are maybe easier to acess for fandom but also for Meg and Amy, finding what people can love in them, their strenghts and weaknesses. This fic also gave me trans girl Laurie feels and in that light i may be able to ship Laurie/Jo.

They marry in the garden of Orchard House, where Laurie remains once the day is done. Beth is bright and strong for a time. She teaches Laurie how to sew, which he finds frightfully difficult.
Christmas comes but when it goes, so does Beth.

Theodore Laurence, Josephine March, Amy March
Word Count: 5969
Summary: "The March family throw a party to celebrate Jo selling her novel, but she doesn't feel much like celebrating. There's still one last loose end she needs to tie up."
Why I Rec this Fic: Aromantic Jo!
