Here are some of my notes from my google doc
I made up fae lore so here's some of that:
Fae can disguise themselves as human with glamors (think LMK fanon for reference)
Fae in human disguise can be spotted by split second “glitches” in their glamor; six fingers, misshapen eyes, ect. Or by their dull color (fae are normally very vibrant with color, when they use human glamors their color becomes dull, duller than humans even. Their eyes may look dull, or their skin, or even hair)
Fae, when not using human glamors, have: pointed ears that express emotions, fangs (but the kind where the teeth next to the canines are also sharp), stronger and sometimes pointer nails, more vibrant colors, they typically dress differently
Fae also have non-human glamors, but those ones don't “glitch” like the human disguise ones do
Fae have a social honor code system (this universes equivalent to the pirate code), but they're not actually forced to use them
Fae don't have the “stealing your name thing” or stuff like that in this universe
Fae are not the only creatures in the Fae Realm, there are other beasts and creatures
A human can become fae by staying in the Fae Realm for long enough, completing a spell, and/or by being “cursed” into being one by other humans (this is so Jack can start out human and be “branded” a fae)
Instead of pirate ships and ship captains, there are castles and (military) processions and a Fae Lord
There is also a Fae King (Pirate King)
Fae are still weak to iron, but think of it as an allergy thing and less of an instant killer
General world building notes:
The Aztec Cursed Gold from CotBP is the same but instead of cursed Aztec gold it’s cursed fae gold, curse still works the same
Davy Jones is still called Davy Jones but his “locker” and curse and ship (which is still called “The Flying Dutchman”) are different. His curse still works the same though, him and his war procession are supposed to take souls lost in the Fae Realm to the underworld. He does not do his job though and takes the souls as his “crew” (army). Instead of looking like they live on the bottom of the sea with the barnacles, the army looks like they are becoming trees or one with fungi (think The Last of Us but it doesn’t take control over their bodies). The Flying Dutchman, instead of being a pirate ship, is his army procession and castle (the castle is where he is meant to drop off souls). And instead of never being able to go on land, he is never allowed to exit the Fae Realm or leave his procession/castle. Also he is cursed to look like a fae beast instead of a squid (I have yet to decide what the fae beast that Jones looks like and is this AUs equivalent to the kraken looks like or is called). Jones also still has his heart removed
Tia Dalma is no longer called Calypso but is instead called (Terra, Ceres, or Morgan le Fey/Morgana) and is the entirety of the Fae Realms magic trapped in a human form
And some general notes about this in general:
Instead of the corset being too tight for Elizabeth (because that is not historically accurate and it bugs me) I’m changing it to be she trips on a tree root in the first scene and she pretend to over heat in the final scene
Fairy circles are just portals to the Fae Realm. You can enter and exit them at any point
Will is half fairy because his dad is a fae, he just doesn't know/because he grew up around humans his fae traits never showed up (they will eventually, over the course of the three fics, just not in the beginning)
Sorry if this was a lot, I'm just very excited about this AU
