#ericaweek21

Lady Erica comes from the well-respected, Reyes family but a father with secret troubles of the bottle and coin, land the family in unsafe territory. A foreign lord, Ennis, offers his assistance in exchange for a young wife. Erica has heard rumours of Ennis and his cruel ways. She will not be another’s punching bag but she also knows she will be disowned if she does not accept the marriage like a ‘proper lady’.

When a pirate ship sails into port, captained by the infamous Derek Hale, Erica is intrigued.  She has always been drawn to the thrill and dangers of the sea. Captain Hale is on a quest to rescue his betrothed along with the stolen treasures of the Triskelion Dynasty. He is in need of a crew and will pay handsomely for any brave enough to face the mission with him.

Erica knows this is her only real chance to make a new life for herself. And if she silently vows to return victorious and sweep a certain local boy named Boyd off his feet, well that's only for her to know.

So this is both a bit more backstory and a continuation from my Derek Hale Appreciation Week --- Pirates! I have to admit I fell in love with pirates and sterek but now I have a berica element too so ...yeah ok I’m probably going to try and actually write this in full ;) Stay tuned for whenever that will be haha! Let me know your thoughts on these. I have had such fun making them!

What are the daily prompts?

Each day will have both a more extended or complex prompt as well as a simpler one; either can be used for visual or written media or both can be ignored! :)

Monday Dec 6 - Erica Lives // Favorite Colors

How do you envision canon would have been altered had Erica lived? Maybe she won the fight against Kali, or was rescued with Cora and Boyd on the full moon. Maybe she wasn't ever captured by the Alpha pack. Feel free to get creative!

Tuesday Dec 7 - Missing Moments // Favorite Quotes

Whether you look at Erica's life pre-canon or just scenes that should've been in the show, take this day to think about moments that are missing from canon.

Wednesday Dec 8 - Resurrection // Lyrics

So many possibilites! How do you think Erica could've been resurrected? How would that have affected the rest of the characters and plot?

Thursday Dec 9 - Complete AU // Favorite Scenes

Take our girl out into a different world and see how she might fit in! Pirates, magical schools, our world without the supernatural, the options are endless!

Friday Dec 10 - Fix-It Friday // Poetry

What scenes or events do you wish had gone differently? Now's your chance to alter canon to fix something that happened! While Resurrection and Erica Lives somewhat fit into this category, think according to canon but with some sort of alteration you fix.

Saturday Dec 11 - Character Study // Happiness

We get so little of Erica on her own, so take this day to dig deep into her psyche. You could look at just one conversation or choice and how it affected her, or maybe an overall look at her evolution over the series.

Sunday Dec 12 - Dealer's Choice // Sadness
