This is just so unexpected and a wonderfully bizarre.

"The truth, if you can bring yourself to face it."
Hee-- that's perfect, so suited to Jack's tendencies.

Will tried not to notice how a workbench laden with steel billets suddenly shuddered.
:D

I liked how very outraged Jack clearly was at being thought mad. Which he isn't of course, just often drunk and a little distracted.

Lovely job!

LOL, yay, I've achieved bizarre! *beams* Glad you enjoyed my frivolous little fic. It was wondrous great fun to write, imagining the voices and Jack's behavior. Thank you for reading and saying such nice and wonderful things! *smishes you*

[torn_eledhwen]

LOL! Wonderful Jack. :)

[erinrua]

Thank you! Glad I could make you laugh. *g*

Hee, and I love your icon: madness or genius, indeed! LOL! *waves towards the bottom of the planet*

[honorat]

Ahhhaahahahahaha! *glomps Admiral* I love it! I'm running to work, but will be back to comment in detail!

I love Jack’s entrance. The eyeball rolls and the flashes of light in the dark are so very right. I was already laughing. Poor misunderstood Jack-always in trouble of course. And it’s so nice to see Will the blacksmith again. And to see him throttling the urge to ping Jack on the head with a ballpeen!

Your descriptions of Jack’s actions and expressions throughout are spot on. I can see him in my head and I’m smirking at him peering and tilting and outraged and flurrying and canting. The ship imagery is perfect. *dusts off virgo’s adjective and gives it a bit of a polish*

carries mischief and mayhem the way most men carry a handkerchief
Wonderful simile! That’s our Jack.

Will leveled a dark look that belonged on a much older and sterner face.
It’s funny to see their age-reversal here. Jack is the scamp and Will the stern father figure :D

The truth, if you can bring yourself to face it.
Of course he can’t! Who can? :D

The word came delicately edged in acid.I do love sarcastic Will. Poor boy. To have to endure such a trying

Oh, my gosh, you quoted almost the entire story back at me! LOL you liked it, you liked it! (Yes, I am that inordinately insecure when it comes to writing for other people, lol!)

Oh, thank you *so* much for saying so many wonderful things! You can't know how happy I am, and how loudly my muses are purring. *G* I'm so happy to have pleased you, and I'm equally glad you gave me this prompt! LOL, it almost wrote itself, and I was chuckling as I watched where it would unfold. Thank you for being my inspiration! *salutes - HUGS!*

[honorat]

I thought I was very selective about the lines I quoted back! They were all so lovely. This is the first fic anyone has ever written for me, so I felt inspired to *Squee!* long and hard about it. Thank you again so very much.

This was delightful to wake up to on a Monday morning. Will is well done as always, and Jack is very Jackish here, and his excuse for not paying is priceless (I assume the lady was very satified, not bored into somnolence).

Thank you for revisiting PotC, and please do post these at Sails for us!

[erinrua]

Hey, Captain GM! *salutes* Hee, thank you so very much for reading! I did have fun writing it, as daft!Jack is such a hoot to play with. *g* Heh, and I actually imagined that the woman passed out from too much rum! LOL!

Thanks for all you do, luv! :-)

[kayden_eidyak]

Hehehe! That was hysterical! Loved the ending especially. Jack was just like a little kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar but refuses to admit any wrong doing. Brilliant, as always, dear Erin.

[erinrua]

Thank you, dearest Kayden! *smish* LOL, your comments as always make me smile this big. (_________________) Thank you!
