Title: Crossroads
Fandom: POTC2 (movie spoilers)
Rating: PG13-ish.
Summary: One-shot. Tia Dalma, Will Turner. Not so much a touch of destiny as a chance encounter.
A/N: This my first story in this fandom. It's a little strange, and pretty far outside my normal scope, but my interest in vodou and New Orleans history caused the story to write itself

I'm completely new to this fandom, and this is one of those stories that came to me from nowhere. I'd imagined that other fic (of which I've read very little) would take into account some of the historical aspects, but until you mentioned "fic that interweaves the characters with actual historical figures", it didn't really occur to me what a natural pairing it is. (Needless to say, I'm a history buff.) So, yeah, I'm going to have to delve into some reading of my own. :)
Thanks again.

I'm new to this fandom and still not really sure where my allegiances lie (I'm a bit of a tough sell for the most part anyway). Will was mostly in the right place (emotionally and geographically) at the right time for my purposes.
I'm getting some strange Will/Norrington nudging in the back of my brain, though. Both try to be good men and tend to get kicked in the teeth for it; both spurned by the same woman, and all that.
In any case, thanks for taking the time to read and comment. :)

Are you new to the fandom because of the second movie coming out, and did you see the first one when it came out in 2003 or just recently in anticipation of this one?

I love the image of Will with the last scrap of boy burned out of him...because that's exactly how I saw him at the end of the movie, thunking that knife into the table. I loved the tone, the narrative, and Tia's *voice*.
This may be one of my most favorite POTC fics that I've ever read!
In regards to 'shipperness...I'm not going to try to sway you in any particular direction. I've found that's kind of useless. Just keep writing and I will love it because it's you doing the writing!

Um. Guh. Forgot the knife thing. Gawd. (I wish you were feeling a little better this week, would love to discuss various ship dynamics with you. I wrote out some of my thought processes last night, then ended up deleting the entry because within five minutes I already disagreed with all of my own opinions.)
Tia's *voice*Thanks--that was a tricky one. I rewatched her scenes, and aside from the occasional thing where they try to mess with her grammar ("him" instead of "his", etc), she's quite articulate, in a formalized, staccato kind of way. It's the actress's delivery that that's a whole other kettle of fish. I wouldn't ( ... )

You're very welcome for everything. I'm glad that my Will ficcage could even in part inspire such awesome fic from you!

(I'm so excited to just be excited about a fandom again, and going through to cap stuff just made it that much 'worse'...so much visual symbology they threw in, like the point in the film where Will starts wearing black and goes a bit Dread-Pirate-Roberts on us, the different scenes with Elizabeth's girly wedding dress (in the end, it's underwater and sinking), lots of little reaction shots that don't make sense until later...I'm so going to see this on the big screen soon.)
So. Yeah. I need you!
