Fic: "Atonement" (Norrington/Sparrow, PG)

Jul 29, 2006 15:04

It's been done before, but I decided to do it again. Yes, it's Sparrington prisonbreak fiction.

And, yes, I have no doubt that this will be obsolete the very second "Pirates" 3 comes out. But I cannot bring myself to care.

( Cut for slightly gay law-breaking )

Ahahah. I LOVE "Muppet Treasure Island." So much. And, Lord, Tim Curry. Now there's a couple of pirates who ought to meet. I'm not sure how the Muppets would fit into the "Pirates" world, though.

About that first sentence, I know what you mean. I thought about it for a long while, but I like the sort of implicit question in the sentence as it is now, as if Jack is wondering, "What woke me up? Ah, it was the sound of . . ." But maybe that doesn't come through. I'm not sure. I also like the cadence of it. "It was the sound of footfall that . . ." somehow sounds more piratical to me. Anyway. The book's not closed on this one yet. I definitely see where you're coming from.

Anyway. Thanks for the kind, thoughtful, lovely response. Whee.

This is my first ever sparrington fic that i've read! i really enjoyed it, you write the characters very well :)

Now i'm dying to see DMC, just so I can yell Sparrington at the screen lol!

cassyl July 29 2006, 20:09:47 UTC

Oh, my goodness! Go right now! I mean, as everyone will tell you, DMC has its flaws (and plenty of them), but it's just so much fun.

This was so very lovely; I loved it so much . . . I can't seem to put together a clause that doesn't use some form of the word "love"; is that sufficient praise? ^___^

cassyl July 29 2006, 20:07:01 UTC

More than sufficient, I would say. Thank you!

Squee! It's a "James rescues Jack" story. I so wanted to read a story like this!

Love how focused and intense James is and that Jack isn't quite able to figure him out. The UST is shiny!

cassyl July 29 2006, 22:35:34 UTC

Heheh, nothing better than shiny. I have to admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for a rescue scenario, myself. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for telling me so!
