Ahoy, mates!

I am pleased to share a Christmas vignette written for __shy__, who requested a Jack & Will friendship fic for the "Secret Santa" challenge on The_Black_Pearl_Sails. Merry Christmas, mate! It's a pleasure to sail with you.
Special thanks to geek_mama_2 for beta-reading.

Finally I can surface for air and respond to your lovely vignette. I do especially love your first paragraph. Will has had to totally redefine who he really is in the adventure he has shared with Jack. It sounds like he is still squaring with what he has learned. Will has certainly paid a high price for this self-knowledge, but the question really is not what Jack has cost him, but whether what he received in return was worth the price.

the deck on which he stood heaved to press against his feet, and then sank with a stomach-dropping lurch.

This description made my own stomach swoop!

Jack’s letter-of all the verbose, round-about ways of conveying information! Really, Jack. LOL!

what man of good sense would dream of setting foot in that sea-going Gomorrah with anything less than a battalion of marines?Apparently good sense is highly over-rated as a way of life! Jack probably thinks sea-going Gomorrah (which is a great phrase) is something to recommend it ( ... )

Ahoy, Honorat!

I have to say that, for various reasons too tedious to mention, this has been a rather crap week, and your wonderful, detailed, delightful reviews just made it all more better. {{*HUGS!*}} I am so flattered that you sat down to take such time with this! Dang ... and from a writer of your caliber, make that a double-dang. ;-)

Gosh ... I'm squirming like a puppy with happiness, here, and I think I'm gonna just roll around in all the nice things you said. Thank you so much for this. It's wonderful to know when a piece really works, and wonderful-er yet to know just why.

THANK YOU! :-)
Cheers ~

Ahoy Captain!

I'm sorry to hear you've had such a lousy week. *Hugs back*

Really good fics deserve really good reviews. And what I said is not exactly what puppies normally roll in! LOL! I spoke the truth! Seriously, I'm glad to provide some happiness to your week--we have to keep your muses happy so more of these treats get produced!

BUAH!

LOL, yeah, my puppies don't roll in sweet smelling stuff, either. But you know what I mean! *G* Thanks again!
Cheers ~

I don't think I remember ever reading this before. I was actually laughing out loud throughout, but the very best part was Will pulling his sword and preparing for battle - YES, boy. Hee. (Although the above description of kittens on furniture made me crack up. It's about true.)

LOL! Thank you! I had an awesome time writing those parts, and it's really making my whole week to know someone's still finding and reading this story. Thank you so very much!

*hearts you*
