Is it wrong that the part with Jack combing Will's hair was the hottest part of this? (Yes, I haz a kink for partners caring for each other. Kill me now.)

Once again, you take the possibly off-putting or borderline repugnant in nature, and make it not only palatable, but kind of sweet, in execution. At least for me. :-)

I figured that since there wasn't any kissing, I should include something that implied a deeper regard for one another than just teh buttsecks. Hair combing is awesome. Especially hair like Will's.

I've been told that borderline repugnant thing before, and you know what, I'm strangely comfortable with that. I'm glad it came across as being almost sweet, since wangst was not my intention oddly enough.

Yeah, it might've been by me. You realize I've been reading since your first LJ foray into POTC (and possibly the Yahoo group before that). Olden times! :-D

sssshhh, you've seen some of my worst stuff! *cringes* Let's pretend some of that never happened eh? It's been like...seven years. Bloody hell, has it really been that long?

I think you might've said something to that effect but I was thinking of how someone in the PBEM I used to play in was like, you have no idea what the nobility are doing, but you're the king of the nasty underbelly of the city. And I realized that was true. I haven't really come up in the world since then ;)

I can't even access that yahoo group but I do remember that. Oh yahoo groups. Sort of pre-lj explosion I guess. I still get emails from it, but that's a forwarding service from an email address I no longer have and might even be defunct now.

Well, if you ever want to rejoin, the name of the group is jackxwill - you just have to search for that on Gropus. (Or I can send you a direct invitation if you really want it, so long as I have an e-mail address.) There's almost no activity now - but there are the archives.

Nah, not really worth it, everything's here on el jay anyway. Thanks though!
