Oh my GOD! This is soooooo lovely and wonderful and sweet and painful and tooo shorrrrt! More! Please more.

Fave bits: His strict yet fair command over his sailors, coupled with a sudden shyness when speaking with her, gave him a side she rarely saw in the gilded peacocks and snobbish Lords she witnessed every day of her life. Plus he owned a pair of stunning green eyes that could challenge the depths of the sea itself.

With this you made me fall for him. Damn you people, I was never a Norrington girl!

devouring her mouth - noble fingers running trails of fire across her cheeks - lips slightly opened and kiss-darkened

All of this...guh...just...blummin' fantastic!

And yes, let us punish the wicked torturedwriter7 for her Norrybeth inducing ways- for I too love it. What shall her punishment be?

[papercutperfect]

Awww! *blushes* Thank you, darling! *squishes* I'm glad I made you fall for Norry, everyone needs to at some point! ^_~

Hmmm, punishment you say, mwuhahahaha... I shall have to get back to you on that *brain is dead* x3

Heh... you're all turning me into a Norribeth fan too if this goes on like this. Well, I never disliked the pairing, but I didn't read it much.

Aaaanyway. *squees* Loved it.

[papercutperfect]

Heh, thank ye, love ^_~

Punish me all you want, wenches! I won't apologize for forcing you all to realize the loveliness that is Norrybeth! *Cackles*

*Ahem*

Moving on.

The key to Norrybeth, in my most humble opinion from my own personal experience, is that it has to be believeable. And Pre-CotBP makes the most sense in my head. Sure, she knew Will and everything, but Norry would be in her presence much more, and she was impressionable and blah blah blah. But I do love my James. And you wrote Liz beautifully.

Great job, chick.

*huggles to death* Thank you, sugar ^^

Norribeth has always, always been my OTP, so I am tickled pink that you're writing it. This is a really beautiful, well-written little fic. I particularly like the last line. We don't even know that he's there and then bam! Very nice.

[papercutperfect]

*giggles* Thank you! ^^

Norrybeth (or with an i, however it's spelt!) is growing on me with each passing moment, although still only pre-CotBP. Anything with Norrington in it is good with me... although I'm not a fan of Will/Norrington stuff x3

[tenacitydrader]

"Norrybeth" is the British spelling; "Norribeth" is the American spelling. Just kidding; I don't think it matters. ;)

It's funny how after DMC came out, you didn't see much Will/Norrington anymore. There was a helluva lot of it after CotBP, along with Will/Jack, but Sparrington seems to be the order of the day.

As to Norri(y)beth, I don't ship them in the conventional sense. I've written a ton(ne) of fic about the two of them, with ratings from G to NC-17, but they never have a shmoopy, healthy relationship. Theirs is an angsty, angry relationship, IMO.

Will really gets the short end of every stick. You know what, next drabble I'm going to write him without the blatant pathetic-ness.

This was very beautiful, and wonderful since I, who hates Norrybeth, absolutely loved this. Lovely imagery, lovely characterization. Lovely, lovely job ^^

[papercutperfect]

I actually feel kinda sorry for Will. I'm going to have to write something nice for him some time or other x3 He's the only innocent one left *pats his head* Awww.

Thanks for the lovely comments, hun, you made my day (well, morning x3)
