Fic: 'Harry & the Pirate VI: Blood and Treasure (Jack/Harry, etc. - PG-13)

Happy New Year, everyone!

Seven years ago today I posted my first story on the internet, the first seventeen chapters of Harry & the Pirate. I remember how excited and nervous I was, and how thrilled when PotC fans began reading and leaving comments. A few days later, erinrua, captain of blackpearlsails, found the story and added it to her great recs page, and then

Somebody's inherited Captain Jack Sparrow's storytelling techniques!

She did, and something of his propensity for mischief, too.

There will be more about Tom, and Anne, but this is Jack's story as well, as will be seen in tomorrow's chapter. I'm so happy you like the way the story started. It's been great fun to write, I have to say, quite different in certain ways from the previous stories.

Many thanks for commenting!

Yay for more Harry and her pirate - and yay for Tom and Daisy, who are delightful. :)

There will be plenty of Tom and Daisy, but a great deal of the story is Jack's. I am so glad you liked this first chapter. More tomorrow! Thank you very much for commenting.

I'm thinking I need to do a re-read of the first four Harry and the Pirate stories. I really want to read these new Harry stories of yours, but it's been a while since I've really been into the PotC fandom. But with the new movie coming out this year, I have to say, I'm being drawn back in. And I love your stories.

Will be back eventually to read and review! I'm sorry I'm not doing so right now!

[geekmama]

No worries, it'll be here when you are ready to read, though as I said in the notes, I think there's enough background info included in this one to clarify the situation. I'm so happy to know you feel the stories are worth rereading, and I hope you enjoy this one when you do get to it.

Oh, they are definitely worth re-reading -- I've got them all on my Nook!

*hugs back*

[geekmama]

I've got them all on my Nook!

That's so cool!!

You're posting it, yay, now everyone else can enjoy it too :-) You've worked so hard and it turned out wonderful, like all your writing. I have a particular fondness for this story as it is my Tom and Anne continuation wish all come true and you know how I adore those two. Thank you for sharing it with us, and well done, dear friend, very well done. ♥

[geekmama]

Thank you! But the story owes so much to you, both from your ideas and your sharp eye for editing, that I must return the thanks, tenfold. I'm so happy you enjoyed building it with me.

> “The great pirate captain!... Tell me, is it true that he made love to a thousand virgins and defeated an army of the Undead, single-handed, then flew from the battlements of a great tower, like the bird he is named for, to steal away your esteemed mother and take her to his bed as First Royal Concubine?” <

How Jack would scold Daisy for telling such tales... and how pleased he'd be inside!

I look forward to reading the further adventures of the Sparrows. Not least of all: how the business referred to in the letter will play out (Jack as nobility- somehow that's absurd and fitting all at once!)

[geekmama]

Jack as nobility- somehow that's absurd and fitting all at once!

I'm sure he would totally agree. In fact he may do so in the next chapter, if I recall.

So glad you enjoyed this! Thank you very much for letting me know. :D
