Title: Your Choice

Fandom: Pirates of the Caribbean; Sparrington

Rating: PG-13

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 has been dropping by at random

Jack very much wanted to see the commodore pick the door-lock, if only to reference it and compare James’ technique with his own, but was all too aware that the idea of the posh and proper uniformed commodore of his memory hiding the ability to lock-pick, amongst who knew what other little shiny bits and skills, was proving unexpectedly arousing.

Yes Jack, that is indeed a lovely idea.
Great little adventure - as ever!

I think Jack would feel a need to state that all of his ideas are great, because he's Captain Jack Sparrow, but he'd agree that that was one of his finest.

And thank you muchly, m'dear.

Simply delightful!

Tripped on over here via one of the POTC coms when a sudden hankering led me back to the fandom after some years of abscence.

I do so love your writing and your James and Jack are just pitch perfect to me.

I really enjoy the playfulness that you evoke in them and how your characterisations seem not only perfectly plausable but true as well to what little we are given in the movies.

I adored the whole lock-picking scene and the way you write them is just sooo..... I'm at a loss for words, obviously, but it warms my heart to read you fic.

So thank you for sharing your stories and your talent :)

Wow. I feel almost popular.

Thank you so much for the compliments, as well. Pitch and characterization, as well as chemistry, are my primary obsessions as a writer. Plot is merely a by-product, most of the time.

I'm increasingly surprised by the popularity of the lock-picking bit in this story, given that it wasn't part of the original blueprint and I added it almost on a whim just to keep that first scene going. I do so love the unplanned successes I have a habit of stumbling into.

You're quite welcome; if I did not share these stories, they might cause my head to explode, so thank you in turn for participating in the de-pressurization of my skull.

I love this. I have read and reread it over.

I love the strength/weakness themes running through for both of them. Just great.

Yay!

Thank you, dear. I'm glad that you like it. ^_^
