Haven't read yet, just decided was more important to send a hug your way than to read which for me is close to saying breathing. Now I'm off for a darlin' read by a very capable writer! Out my way, love you!

FAR BACK! And in Gibb's very own voice. I absolutely adore things written in this style and I know how difficult it is to write what I hear in my head!

'Tis no secret Jack's fav'rite pursuit is pursuit I am so smitten with this funny and truthful assessment of Jack's preference. The boy is a bug!

canary-cat's grin Cool as can be! This is such a visual snugged up in a little gem!

Thank you for remembering my Happy BD I like so much to play and it's lovely to have the perfect excuse for it.

Thank you for being in this funny old world, miz cat!

I know what you mean! Fortunately, Kevin McNally has done an absolutely splendid job of bringing Joshamee Gibbs to life, and giving him a very strong and distinctive voice. I love the character to bits, and I'm SO glad they kept him for OST (even though most of the other regulars were MIA)! I would have missed Gibbs tremendously, had TPTB decided to deprive Jack of his best bud and favourite "partner in crime." ;-)

Jack does seem to spend every film pursuing something: the Pearl… revenge… Jones' key, chest, and heart… immortality… the Fountain of Youth, etc. In fact, for a pirate, he seems to do very little actual pirating; he's forever being sidetracked by these other quests! ;-)

I'm so glad you enjoyed your "present" (belated though it was)! Hope you had a fantastic birthday! :-)

Well, it's SO true, isn't it? Jack always seems to be chasing after something, doesn't he? (When he's not running away from something, that is!) ;-)

Thanks! I was hoping that it would sound like a very Gibbs-ian description (I could imagine that line, in Gibbs' voice, in my mind, as I was writing it). ;-)

Thank you so much for reading, and taking the time to Comment! :-)

I love this! You've captured it perfectly in that Jack's fav'rite persuit is persuit!!!To find this tale here after a horridly busy and stressful work week was such a grand gift.

Well, Gibbs wouldn't tell anything but the gospel truth, now would he? ;-)

To find this tale here after a horridly busy and stressful work week was such a grand gift.

I know exactly what you mean (been there, done that, have the grey hairs and the high blood pressure to prove it!). I'm so glad to have been able to lighten a horrific week for you! And aren't we glad we have fandom to keep us (mostly) sane? ;-)

Thanks so much for reading, and taking the time to Comment! :-)
