“I suppose that it makes some sense for me to haunt the ship I died on....”

Ah, Norrington snark, how I love it so.

James snark is the best kind of snark.
Thank you for the comment.

You can take the sailor only so far and there he is, watching those other souls disembarking and his hands know where he wants to be. I like the appropriateness of James haunting the ship he died on, along with the one who killed him. Also like how he divests himself of the old trappings, definitely they didn't suit him one iota. Nice work!

Thank you!

The idea for this fic originally came from an image of James taking off all of his uniform and throwing it overboard but, like these things always do, the story went in a different direction and I was only able to keep this piece in.

Wow, simply beautiful. The descriptions are breath-taking and strinkingly visual, I feel like I can imagine him standing on the bow of that ship, with the wind blowing over him. *fangirls* Anyhoo, amazing job with bringing a thoughtful moment in time to life. I love how you developed Norrington's awareness of the world, like when he noticed his skin changing colors or he finally noticed the appearance of his uniform.

The actual idea of Norrington coming on to the Flying Dutchman is great, too! Quite plausible, I'd like to think, and I'm sure he and Will have a lot of catching up to do. ^^ I loved this, can't wait to see more from you!

Thank you very much!

I am quite intrigued myself by the idea of Will and James being on the Flying Dutchman together. Expect some fic in that vein soon.

*YAY she's still writing in this fandom*

I always love your fic. Having James cast his stuff aside is a good touch.

(write more moog too sometime please?)

[guanin]

Someone remembers me! Thank you for commenting. I'll try to come up with something moogish, but I can't say how soon it will be.

[teenybuffalo]

Whenever you write it, I'll be happy. And yeah, absolutely. I got into the whole Pintel/Ragetti ship last summer and went back and read all your fics. Favorite is "Reawakened Senses".
