Rating: NC-17

Disclaimer: I have no claim on POTC or the lovely characters who populate it, even if it seems that James Norrington has, somewhat disconcertingly, made himself quite at home in my head with no apparent plans to leave. Jack Sparrow's habit

Jack was like liquid, one hand tugging at James’ hair as the other clutched at James’ coat, and one leg draped across James’ hip, drawing their bodies closer as Jack moved his hips in a way that seemed positively serpentine

GUH.

If anyone could match James for fire, be undaunted by him, and still be wild enough to both tempt him and never be wholly dominated or overwhelmed by him, it would have to be one Captain Jack Sparrow.

THIS. I love your predatory, playful, self-assured James.

Jack was very, very far from complaining.

Hah. I'll bet he is. *Very Big Grin*

“Honestly, James, you’re more like the Pearl. I’m not any more inclined to let you go than I am her.”

There are no words for how much I adore that sentence.

Thank you very muchly, darling. As usual, you've flattered me and improved my day a little.

♥ love it ♥

This was the story I'd always hoped to read, because in my mind at least, James Norrington made perfect sense to take over from Davey Jones as the next caretaker of lost souls at sea.

The whole spiel of Will's destiny as foreseen by Tia Dalma/Calypso was absolute bunkum and balderdash. The boy was a talented Blacksmith, and despite his adventures in COTBP, he was no seaman, and certainly not a sailor, nor had he the sense of duty or responsibility that would make him a good captain of the Flying Dutchman.

Sorry, but that was a major plot arc in DMC and AWE that always truly infuriated me, and here you've gone and made it all better!

Your plot makes sense! Your characters stay true to themselves! And your fic is made of awesome!
(someone really ought to mention to actual scriptwriters how this is actually a desirable and good thing...)

So thank you for this absolutely wonderful story, and I hope you write more in the future ;-)

Thank you so much, darling; all of that was precisely my goal in writing this little tale and it's always great to hear when I've managed to succeed. I also very much intend to someday finish it, when I can get my head in the right place to do so. And you're more than welcome.

Oh why did I only now found this fic??? T-T The characters are perfectly written and so is the plot. Absolutely awesome One of the best PotC stories around!
It's been two years since the last chapter but I have to ask... Is there still a possibility that you will write more?
