Barbossa backstory fic

For the backstory question about the pirates' discovering their curse.
No spoilers, no dirt.
No, the Mouse was disinclined to acquiesce to my request for them.

"Drink Up. Me Hearties, Yo Ho"

Barbossa shot the innkeeper through the heart. It was his fourth of the
evening.

"What possesses these idiots?" he raged, "trying to tell us water is rum.
I've drunk enough tonight to float the bloody British Navy an' still I feel
nothing."

"It's these storm clouds we've been in since we left the treasure island.''
Pintel tried to soothe his captain. "We've all felt a touch daft. But
look, they're breaking up. It's near bright as day in the street."

"Let's try one more tavern, Captain," Ragetti urged. "I can feel our luck
about to turn. Maybe we'll pick up the luck he dropped." He kicked the dead
man.

Laughing together, they stepped through the doorway and into the moonlight.
