Oh, it's always so wonderful to see something new by you. <3

I love your descriptions of the cove, the age of the wood and the character of the ships they once were infusing the whole place. Kind of like Jack, and how he carries the character of Captain Sparrow with him and tells tall tales until Elizabeth has him stripped down, as it were. At least that's how I read it, and I'm sticking to it.

Lovely work as always!

Thanks so much for the kind words. ♥

I'm glad you liked those things, and your reading works pretty well, I think, so I'm not protesting it ;-)

his gaze wide and bright, but not innocent, never that.

You write with accents. With, quite literally, a character's voice.

You're too awesome for words ♥ I always enjoy reading your writing. *.* Really.

Oh wow. What a gorgeous little ficlet. You've captured the push and pull chemistry between Jack and Elizabeth beautifully. Thank you for sharing this fic!

Absolutely stunning--so atmospherically rich. I could hear the wind in those old, old timbers.

Oh baby, ya done knocked my socks off! And Lord knows, I needed such today...

they dream of her yet, fickle and splendiferous. Okay, the last three words are just sterling! The first ones meet my love of the water and the belief ships can long....Just beautiful...completely.

“Am I?” he said, his gaze wide and bright, but not innocent, never that. “Seducing you?”. Now that's one of those fine line lines...so hot would cause you to catch your breath and stop breathing just for a few heartbeats,yet not so much on the surface to make one's cheeks colour. Yeah!

He paused dramatically. “Might need a woman’s touch. Now this...So TIS (this is Sparrow) He's utterly devastating when he turns his attention to one.

He seemed pensive, as though he gave it serious consideration,... The kiss that followed would bruise him more.Yeah, oh yea verily! What a tasty treat this last is, such a snapshot of their whole relationship. It is both the reason they love and struggle. Awesome tidbit, this what you've writ.

Apologies for not replying sooner! Thank you so much for the detailed feedback. I really appreciate you taking the time to quote your favourite passages and tell me why you liked them, that's always wonderful to know. And most of them are my own favourites, too, so that makes me happy :-D

I'm sorry your day wasn't a good one, I hope things are better now!
