It's taken me an obscenely long amount of time to respond to this, but I suppose it's better late than never :)

I love this story so far; it's actually quite different from your others, but in a good way. I adore your dialogue, esp. your Jack dialogue, as it's absolutely perfect. I also love their relationship in this story, how they've mastered communicating w/o words. So wonderfully sweet :)

Love Sara's character and Lizzie's reaction to her. I can relate to the situation...I had a very difficult time of it with my sisters-in-law for several years *shudders*. Bad, bad memories. If only I'd have known the solution was getting them drunk...

Remembering the snake handlers of some distant bazaar, Elizabeth wished for a flute and a basket. Couldn’t play it, but I could hit her with it.

This made me LOL. It was actually a little embarrassing, as I was at work ;)

As if thanking him, the ship settled in creaks against the waves, sails sighing in the night air, and Jack ran his hands across her spokes in tender lengths. Beautiful ( ... )

Somehow, I read this forever ago and forgot to comment. What a terrible fangirl I'm turning out to be. However, now that I'm fixing that oversight by commenting now I have to tell you what a lovely start you have here.

Your chapters are nice and long and you help but explaining a lot about this culture that most of us really don't know much about. So it's entertainment and a learning experince rolled together. Who ever said you can't learn anything from fanfic?

I like his sister very much, she seems to be a intriguing character and I can't wait to learn more about her and to see her with Jack promises to be a very interesting experince. She's a great OC and I can't wait to see where the story progresses from here.

You've managed to capture two great loves of mine at once, Sparrabeth and Jack Backstory. Long live you!

Glad you enjoyed this, and no worries - your Fanclub President status is still intact. :)

Glad you found the explanations useful. I'm currently working on the (monster) annotated version of Chapter Two. It is making me want to stab something...

"You've managed to capture two great loves of mine at once, Sparrabeth and Jack Backstory. Long live you!"
-- So very glad you like Sara, and that this backstory is working for you. Believe me, I've got a lot more outlined. Thanks so much for reading and for your support!
