Summary: For the prompt 'Family' at potc_drabbles
Part of the ship, part of the crew.
Black magic and damned souls or not, even those creatures knew that feeling.
I didn't.
Not as a child, when all that counted was power and esteem. Not during my service in the Navy where rules were more important than any moral law.
Not while I was courting Elizabeth, though her father was quite fond of me.
Not with my few friends, no matter how close we were.
Only one time I felt like part of a family:
When Jack's eyes betrayed his sentiments about my pain at Isla de Cruces.
