At last, some much needed Pintel and Ragetti love! I like the setup of it being two "extras" commenting on it. Legends spread in this world like wild fire and of course Pintel and Ragetti wouldn't be left out of it. They deserve more credit than most of the cast gives them, anyway. Who knows? Maybe now they'll find romance, establish a legitimate line of work, have some kids, and become beloved members of society...or just enjoy barmaids admiring them. Lol. Fun drabble.

You can never have too much of that, eh? Long past time to trot the boys out again (even if they don't have any actual "lines" in this bit). ;-)

I thought it might be interesting to see how outsiders perceived P&R (and particularly Ragetti), once word spread in the seafaring community about the freeing of Calypso, and their role in it. (And, with so many witnesses to the incident, all with wagging tongues--you know how seaman love to tell their stories!--it wouldn't have taken long for Ragetti's "legend" to build, and take on a certain lustre (especially among curious females). ;-)

They deserve more credit than most of the cast gives them, anyway. Absolutely true! And I'm sure Pintel, at least, made sure to "toot his friend's horn" and build that legend up... hoping that, if ladies were to be throwing themselves at ( ... )

That hadn't occurred to me, but you're right. If word of that little incident gets around, Ragetti shall never again want for female companionship!

(I wonder if Jack'll be jealous?)

A boon, I'm sure, that he never anticipated, but no doubt one he intends to enjoy to the fullest! ;-)

Naw! His own legend is so enormous by now (particularly in his vanquishing of both Jones and Beckett), I can't see him begrudging Ragetti just a wee bit of fame (and luck with the ladies). ;-)

Thanks, as ever, for your Comments! :-)

*g* I can see the expression of that bald bloke, from now on. ;)

LOL! Yes, I suppose there might have been a bit of jealousy at first, at Ragetti getting all the female attention... until Pintel figured out that being the best friend of a "legend" reaped its own benefits in that area as well! ;-)

Thank you so much for reading, and Commenting! :-)

This is such a cute drabble. I never thought of it either, but yes, once word get out --especially in the pubs of The Cove, Ragetti is sure to have lots of female attention.

And deservedly so! Not everyone can free a goddess from her mortal bonds with just a few softly-spoken words (just ask Barbossa! He certainly failed in that area!) ;-)

This is such a cute drabble.

Thanks! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :-)

That's such a great idea! Ragetti's very own legend in the making! ^^ I love it.

Well, he certainly does deserve it, doesn't he? He got the job done, when Barbossa couldn't, after all! ;-)

And I can just see Pintel, being Gibbs to Ragetti's Jack, doing all he can to spread the stories, and build up his buddy's reputation, hoping to reap the benefits of being associated with a "legend." ;-)

Thank you so much for reading, and for your Comments! :-)
