Great story. Certain passages just stood out to me particularly.

"I resent that she feels Jack is the only one to give her that freedom. I have not tried to cage her in a gilded prison. I've never once told her that she could not do as she would want. I even taught her how to fight with a sword, which is not training most ladies of her rank would receive. I know she has a most adventurous spirit and I've always tried to honor that part of her. I feel that I have been supportive of her longing to break away from the constraints of the classic feminine ideal."I finally figured out a couple of days ago what it was that I didn't like about the J/E dynamic - and this is it, summarized EXACTLY. Escaping Norrington and a life of constraint and propriety to be with Will was one thing; but what's to "escape" by leaving Will to be with a man similarly-given to allow Elizabeth her freedom to act as she will? Indeed, her only true "escape" from Will would be a life with no man, wouldn't it? Anyway, I just wanted to stay you had Will state it ( ... )

I finally figured out a couple of days ago what it was that I didn't like about the J/E dynamic

I actually started out liking Elizabeth. In the first movie I was rather fond of her. The first time I saw DMC I went home still liking her. But the more I thought about the way she acted in DMC the more upset at her I started to get. I really love Will as a character and the thought that she so obviously hurt him very much at the end of the film made me start to dislike her. I find her behavior to be very selfish and cruel. I have no interest in J/E as a couple and I find it odd that it's so popular right now. It seems to me that hardly anyone wants to think about poor Will's feelings in the matter.

her only true "escape" from Will would be a life with no man, wouldn't it?I completely agree. I don't want to see anyone paired up at the end of PotC III. I want them all to go their separate ways. I don't think Elizabeth is ready for marriage and neither is Will. There is going to be too many bitter feelings between the two for ( ... )

What Veronica said *point up*. This was so powerfully worded that the tangle of emotion actually had me fighting tears.

Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it :D

I'll R&R your story later, but I have to tell you something else first. I am of course back from Oregon, MUCH later than I was expecting due to a never ending trip into the wilderness with my elder sister's family. Anyway, the first thing I did when I regained access to the internet is write Misty a message, which contained a invitation to go see the Lady in the Water. I must now remain glued to my seat waiting her reply.

ameyao_roinyi July 26 2006, 22:16:54 UTC

^^ I hope she accepts! You must let me know right away if she does.

The Waiting is the hardest part enro_nevada August 3 2006, 00:33:06 UTC

She has not gotten back to me yet! At this moment a rejection is looking almost preferable to all of this intolerable waiting. :-/

I know she doesn't like to get onto the computer considering that she is on it all day at work, but yeesh. I am only going to have a couple more weeks before I go to visit my father in Kansas.

If you know she doesn't check her mail very often than I don't think you should be to worried. If a month goes by without a response then I would say you might not get one. But don't give up hope yet ^^

Do you not have internet access at your Dad's? How long are you going to be staying there?

Oh god. This was lovely. heart breaking and heart warming at the same time. I love the dynamic you pulled between Will and Tia, and Will's inner musing I thought were just spot on! I've been fascinated by these two since the movie came out, I'd imagined something passing between them (with hopefully a kiss *wink*) much like the talk between Edmund and Aslan in Lion the Witch and the Warddrobe. This came across perfectly in your piece, love, destiny and a life continued sort of thing. Gah, yeah I'm in love!

ameyao_roinyi July 26 2006, 22:54:37 UTC

Thanks for you kinda compliments ^^ I was very interested in the possibilities between the two as well. It seemed to me that they had a lot in common.

Will's inner musing I thought were just spot on!

I so glad you feel that way. I was afraid people might think he was OOC. There are many in fandom that seem to be of the opinion that Will isn't very smart. So I was worried him being introspective would be seen as OOC.

Thanks a lot for reading! :D

explosive_gnome July 26 2006, 23:12:10 UTC

Oh no way! Will always seemed very intelligent to me in the movies. (why I love him) In fact it bothers me personally far more when he is portrayed as dense because to me THAT seems out of character. Plus I love introspective characters and Will always seemed the introspective type to me. I mean he spent years shut up in the smithy with little but his thoughts for company ( ... )

I wonder who would win in a fight, Davy Jones or Undead Barbossa ( ... )
