300 words and the last of the drabbles for hseas_challenge #4...

( 20. Thirteen years - Jack’s quest to regain the Pearl. )

This is a sequel to #18 - Education - Jack/Elizabeth’s acquisition of worldly knowledge - and longer, too, at 575 words. Hugs to hereswith for staying up late to help me work out one problematic sentence.

( 19. Ink - The stories behind Jack's tattoos. )

Only two more to go! This one would be 'R' if it was more explicit. Savvy?

Many thanks to hereswith for looking it over.

( 18. Education - Jack/Elizabeth’s acquisition of worldly knowledge. )

This one, though it's more sweet than bitter, really does qualify for the current drabble challenge prompt, 'The Dead'. 150 words, set at Shipwreck Cove, with thanks again to hereswith for looking it over.

( 17. Fathers and sons, fathers and daughters - Jack and Teague, Elizabeth and Weatherby. )

Another longish drabble, with thanks again to hereswith for beta reading. This one is, again, 350 words for #16 in that series of drabbles I was doing for hseas_challenge...

16. Remembrance of things past - Jack’s acquisition of the beads and baubles that chronicle his history.

( 'This one's for that pretty, black-eyed chit in Cartagena...' )

Actually wrote another of that series of Backstory Drabbles, though my dear hereswith is on vacation so this one is unbetaed...

( 15. Fates collide - the turning points and choices that brought Elizabeth to her fall from the parapet and Jack to her rescue in CotBP. )

RL has been very full, and the Muse is struggling out from under the debris -- some of it confetti, some of it sawdust. I finally got two more of these Backstory Drabbles done for hseas_challenge #4 and thought I'd post them so y'all would know I'm still alive. My dear hereswith looked the first one over (several times), but the second is not only 150 words, but unbetaed ( Read more... )

Finally finished the next four Backstory Drabbles for challenge #4 at hseas_challenge, with thanks, as always, to hereswith for the beta read.

The first four are here, and the second four are here.

And here are 9 through 12, a hundred words each...

( 9. Selling his soul - Jack strikes a deal with Davy Jones )

Here are drabbles for the next four prompts in LJ's hseas_challenge #4: Backstories. The first two are a hundred words apiece, and the last drabble combines two prompts in 200 words.

( 5. The mutiny )

I'm writing drabbles for hseas_challenge #4: Backstory. Just a hundred words apiece, and they skip around, canon-wise.

( 1. The English rose - Elizabeth’s childhood in England )
