She's paying on credit now, but they've ceased to keep accounts.

They both take what they can. -- Oh, oh. Very poignant. Truth be told, I loved "Give nothing back" so much that I had to stop myself from quoting 90% of it. ;) It's gorgeous and so like them. If only they were less stubborn and wary of each other, I think they would settle their debts through sex and raw emotions. Brava!

Dawn, and the sky is full of blood. Gibbs stamps about muttering and rhyming, never a good sign.

"Cheer up, mate," Jack says. "A little rosy-fingered dawn never fazed Ulysses."

"Those fingers are a bit more than rosy, if you ask me, Cap'n. Looks like murder."

Elizabeth looks quickly away from Jack's glance and down at her own hands, stained crimson by that light; she wipes them on her coat. -- This is perfect. The exchange between Jack and Gibbs is very real, and Elizabeth's reaction paints a beautiful picture of her guilt, limned in crimson light and smeared with imaginary blood.

The last one is haunting, defined by pain laced with caring and the beauty of being together when they need it most. The intimacy between the three of them is beautiful and oh-so-fragile.

They still feel the Kraken waiting in the depths, the shattering of fragile things.

Thank you so much for the lovely long comment! I'm so glad you liked them.

Yes. A fragile accord against the dark. Glad that came through.
