Great stuff. :)

I think you've got a pronoun mixup here:

"You chose piracy for the hats?" James nearly believes it.

"I chose against your navy for the hats."

"You really think I could have been an officer?"

"Hell no."

Thanks. And thanks for pointing out the mistake. It's a missing scene break -- the asker is Jack and the profaner is James. All fixed now. :D

Oh, wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. That's brilliant! Last two lines made me grin.

Thanks. All the wows made me grin, so we're square. :)

Oh wow! Perfect banter between Jack and James. You have James' nonplussed-on-the-surface-but-really-quite-deep-of-feeling attitude down pat--oh god how I felt for the poor man: so many unresolved moments in his life, so many things left unsaid.

And, as the others have said, the ending was just brilliant.

Ahhh - that is just lovely. You've taken that prompt and just made it work so darned well!

A great insight into all 3 characters, but I especially liked your James - and how he eventually comes round to appreciate Will's gift. Also I'm adding my love for the ending to the others above - loved the last 2 lines!

thanks for that :)

*smirk* I feel sorry for Will, having those to under him... Good lord, that can't be easy ordering those two around! This was damn good. Very beautiful in its melancholy. :-)
