[geekmama]

This one is for elessil. Now, how did I know what her request would be? ;)

Thank you so much. It seems so easy to hear Norrington and Gillette's voices, don't you think? I always have a harder time hearing Jack than anybody else.

What a perfect 'scene from the cutting room floor'! :-)

[geekmama]

Thank you so much! I can imagine lots of little scenes from that part of the movie. So interesting to speculate on everyones' thoughts and conversations.

'm not predictable. *grumbles*. OK, I am :)

Great work! A scene that fits in very well. *loves*

[geekmama]

So happy you liked it. We all have our favorite subjects, don't we? And I always enjoy writing Norrington (although I'm glad you didn't mind me throwing in Jack, which seems to be inevitable with me).

Norrington + Jack = bestest thing ever.

hear hear! (or is it here here?)

Great! Both Norrington and Gillette are perfect. Pity, in a way, that we never got to see anything from that voyage in the movie, it must have been an interesting one, but then, not knowing leaves more to the imagination :-)

not knowing leaves more to the imagination

Yes, lots of fodder for fanfiction in that. Glad you liked this one.

Oh very nice! Poor Gillette, he never quite gets it, does he?

I really liked this line: For a moment, the two looked at each other. Natural enemies. An uneasy, and very temporary truce.

and when Norrington acknowledges Elizabeth being very lucky for Jack's gentlemanly-ness. That was a very nice point.

and the ending was great as well. those last 3 lines have a lot of impact

[geekmama]

Yes, I do like abusing Gillette. He's such a twit. (Although there are authors who can make me see him in a different light--but it's all for naught the next time I watch the movie.)

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad you liked this one.
