If you enjoy Sparrabeth, don't miss klp_8's The Captain, an alternate conclusion for AWE in which "Davy Jones never stabbed Will, so Will never stabbed the heart… Jack did."

Just amazing, gorgeous writing, and complete in three parts...

Chapter 1: Cursed
Chapter 2: Between

Amazing pictures of Waves! I can't remember where I got that link, but big thanks to whoever posted it first.

Thanks to ladymouse2 for emailing me the link to this one. Beautiful!

This is about a gentle passing and a beautiful goodbye. Tir Nan Og is the fabled "Country of Youth," located beneath the crystal waters of a clear lake. It is a magical place, where you never age and you never die. Basically the ancient Celtic version of Heaven.
