Have you ever read 'Cinnamon and Gunpowder' by Eli Brown? I got some serious Stormhund vibes from a couple of the characters floating around on that book's high seas...
I haven’t, but I do have it on my shelf! I picked it up when I was in Toronto for a signing this summer. I have trouble resisting lady pirates.

{Like calls to like|Dalina Fanmix}
Bloodstream [Stateless]: Wake up and look me in the eyes again/I need to feel your hand upon my face/Words can be like knives/They can cut you open/And then the silence surrounds you/And haunts you/I think I might’ve inhaled you/I can feel you behind my eyes/You’ve gotten into my bloodstream/I can feel you flowing in me
Devil’s Backbone [The Civil Wars]: Give me the burden, give me the blame/I’ll shoulder the load, and I’ll swallow the shame/Give me the burden, give me the blame/How many, how many Hail Marys is it gonna take? /Don’t care if he’s guilty, don’t care if he’s not/He’s good and he’s bad and he’s all that I’ve got/Oh Lord, Oh Lord, I’m begging you please/Don’t take that sinner from me/Oh don’t take that sinner from me
Dust to Dust [The Civil Wars]: Oh, you’re acting your thin disguise/All your perfectly delivered lines/They don’t fool me/You’ve been lonely, too long/Let me in the wall/You’ve built around/We can light a match/And burn it down/Let me hold your hand/And dance ‘round and ‘round the flames/In front of us/Dust to dust
Nothing Else Matters (Cover) [Lissie]: Never opened myself this way/Life is ours, we live it our way/All these words I don’t just say/And nothing else matters/Trust I seek and I find in you/Every day for us something new/Open mind for a different view/And nothing else matters
Eyes on Fire [Blue Foundation]: And I’m not scared/Of your stolen power/I see right through you any hour/I won’t soothe your pain/I won’t ease your strain/You’ll be waiting in vain/I got nothing for you to gain
All of Me [John Legend]: Drawing me in, and you kicking me out/Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can’t pin you down/What’s going on in that beautiful mind/I’m on your magical mystery ride/And I’m so dizzy, don’t know what hit me, but I’ll be alright/My head’s under water/But I’m breathing fine/You’re crazy and I’m out of my mind
Bonfires [Blue Foundation]: Days of roses and wine/Drifting astray/With your hand in mine/You stroke my fears away/And make me wanna stay/And bonfires lit up the shores/Walk far far away/To go beside you/Is where I want to be/Walk far far away
I Can’t Find You [SolarSolar]: I’m going in to set it up /That’s how it is when I construct /I’ll take the ropes /You take the hook /We’ll follow all the rules in this book /And what you win /I won’t look /That’s what you get /When you’re stuck (Climb down)
If I Had a Heart [Fever Ray]: This will never end/’Cause I want more/More, give me more/Give me more/If I had a heart I could love you/If I had a voice I would sing/After the night when I wake up/I’ll see what tomorrow brings
Leave My Body [Florence & The Machine]: I’m gonna be released from behind these lines/And I don’t care whether I live or die/And I’m losing blood, I’m gonna leave my bones/And I don’t want your heart it leaves me cold/I don’t want your future/I don’t need your past/One bright moment/Is all I ask
Running Up That Hill (Cover) [Dirty Paintbrush Sky]: You don’t want to hurt me,/But see how deep the bullet lies./Unaware that I’m tearing you asunder./There is thunder in our hearts, baby./So much hate for the ones we love?/Tell me, we both matter, don’t we?/You, be running up that hill/You and me, be running up that hill/You and me won’t be unhappy.
The Lost Loves [Young Heretics]: Who’s counting up the nights /Where love got pushed aside /Oh the lovers loose the daylight /When there is nowhere safe to hide /The harder we fight /The violent it seems /We are not too young to die /But we are all too vain to see
Snuff [Slipknot]: So break yourself against my stones/And spit your pity in my soul/You never needed any help/You sold me out to save yourself/And I won’t listen to your shame/You ran away - you’re all the same/Angels lie to keep control…/Ooh, my love was punished long ago/If you still care, don’t ever let me know/If you still care, don’t ever let me know…
Dark Paradise [Lana Del Ray]: And there’s no remedy for memory your face is/Like a melody, it won’t leave my head/Your soul is haunting me and telling me/That everything is fine/But I wish I was dead/Every time I close my eyes/It’s like a dark paradise/No one compares to you

“The Darkling will hunt you for the rest of your days.”
"Then you and I will have something in common, won’t we? Besides, I like to have powerful enemies. Makes me feel important."
Mal crossed his arms and considered the privateer. “I can’t decide if you’re crazy or stupid.”
"I have so many good qualities," Sturmhond said. "It can be hard to choose.”

"He found something!" she crowed, bouncing on the souls of her feet, practically dancing as she helped me from the bunk. "The tracker says we’re close!"
"His name is Mal."

Well. Grisha x ASoIaF mashup is pretty much the direct route to my little fangirl heart.
And now you’ve really got me thinking about which house each character would be in. I think I’d have a slightly different line up. (But my friend Morgan and I also spent a solid hour of the drive to SDCC sorting our friends into Harry Potter houses, so maybe I should not go down this rabbit hole.)
