You finished!! So happy you enjoyed the ending. I wanted to wrap this one up more neatly than I did with Norrington's Choice, so I made sure I tied up all the loose ends and left everything in a good spot. There's always room for the occasional short story, of course. ;)
I am also very happy you consider that everyone has remained in character, in spite of the different turns their lives have taken. There are probably a lot of readers who wouldn't agree and will never bother reading these stories, but the idea of Jack and Harry is really as likely as any other. We all assume Jack is around 40 at the end of the movie, and he's been pirating in his unconventional way for a long time. Also, he's just gained his heart's desire by fulfilling a ten-year quest. I figured he'd be all set for a midlife crisis, once the elation wore off. I mean, women have probably been slapping him for twenty years; wouldn't he be open to a relationship with one who didn't? And of course Harry, being who she is, comes with a whole package of attractive assets. And I based their situation a little on Johnny Depp's RL one -- he always sounds so happy with his little family, in spite of the initial surprise of it.
You see that I've got the whole thing thought out. *G*
Thank you so much for the wonderful comments you've left. I truly appreciate you taking the time to do that. Again, I'm so happy you enjoyed the story.
