Prompt claims for Round 2 now open

[penknife]

You can now claim a prompt here for potcfest! The list of prompts submitted for the second round of the fest is behind the cut.

Please comment on this post to claim a prompt. Please claim only one prompt at a time; if you finish one story before the deadline, you can return and make another claim. Each prompt can initially only be claimed by one person; however, if you have already posted a story and are returning to claim another prompt, you can choose one that's already been claimed.

1. Jack/Will - The captain of the Flying Dutchman has something that Jack wants, so Jack sets out to obtain it by ... persuasion.
2. Jack Sparrow, Will Turner (slash or gen is fine) finding a grimoire , immortality claimed by ainsoph15
3. Jack/Will immediately after COTBP and ignoring DMC/AWE. Will wants to join Jack's crew but is in denial about why. Jack knows exactly why and tries to help him figure it out.
4. Will has seen Jack doing something very private. Interpret as you choose. Can be Jack/Will or not. claimed by dharma_slut and lntora
5. Jack/Elizabeth, Teague, Post-AWE -- Shipwreck ghost stories claimed by djarum99
6. Jack/Norrington and "The Hurricane" claimed by captsparrow4evr
7. Jack/Norrington. Norrington runs afoul of the Spanish guarda costa and Jack intervenes. (Why? You tell me.)
8. Jack/Norrington, Post-CotBP -- one day's head start; the love of the chase claimed by fluffyllama
9. Modern-day AU in which Norrington is unexpectably 30something and divorced and Jack teaches Yoga. Jack/James claimed by earlwyn
10. Post COTBP, supposing DMC and AWE never happened: Jack is a privateer (how does he cope with actually having to work and walk in line?) and Norrington has to tolerate him. They end up on an island together alone (how that's up to you), will they escape (with or without seaturtles...) and what happens? Sparrington is always ever so welcome =).
11. Jack/the Brethren Court (individually, not simultaneously) - Jack's collecting Pirate Lords. claimed by penknife
12. Jack Sparrow/Tia Dalma - what was it that she did that she said he liked at the time?
13. Jack Sparrow sailed the Interceptor through a storm in CotBP, had a hurricane come in handy when Norrington was after him before DMC, and actually flew out of the maelstrom in AWE. Calypso is convinced that he is a wind/storm god, somehow trapped in human form like she was, and wants to make him aware of that. (Would that be called "Spalypso"?)
14. Gibbs/Jack - slashy or innocent, but I want something that sheds light on that relationship, what they really know or think about each other, something to fill out the movie scenes. claimed by ceria_taliesin
15. Jack/Scarlett or Giselle, unromantic
16. Jack/Giselle or Scarlett -- true love.
17. A fic that explores Scarlet & Giselle and their relationship to each other and to Jack. In COTBP, they didn't know each other, but Scarlet may have been the reason that Giselle slapped Jack. In DMC they seemed to have joined forces against him, with Will being the recipient of their hostility. In AWE they were willing to share Jack, but were also jealously fighting over him. claimed by camille_moineau
18. Inject the above ideas into a smut fic - Scarlet/Jack/Giselle, what if Jack's "magnificent and fierce and huge-ish" vessel was not gone at the end of AWE?
19. A Jack/Beckett hurt/comfort. Not completely AU but can mingle a little with some parts of the storyline.
20. A twoshot about Jack's thoughts as he's being branded and Beckett's thoughts as he's branding Jack. Can be in either order. Slash.
21. Jack/Elizabeth/Will, forgiveness (during or post AWE would be nice) claimed by fabu
22. AU. Norrington goes with Elizabeth to Shipwreck, where he's on the outside looking in at the complicated network of affections between Elizabeth, Jack and Will. Elizabeth/Will/Jack and one-sided Elizabeth/Norrington, or Elizabeth/Will/Jack/Norrington.
23. Will/Elizabeth or Jack/Will/Elizabeth - Will is released from the Dutchman after ten years, and tries to adjust to a new life with Elizabeth (or Elizabeth and Jack).

28. A conversation between Jack & Elizabeth about love, sex, commitment (life, the universe and everything as well if you like) and why the two of them are "peas in a pod", but NOT Sparabeth (although you can mention the canon scenes they had). Will/Elizabeth and Jack/[canon character of your choice who isn't Elizabeth. Slash or het.] Can be post AWE or set between scenes.
29. Will Turner/JamesNorrington, in the afterlife. claimed by lancelot_luv05
30. Will and Calypso hook up. Smokin'!
31. After 10 years Elizabeth's been true, but has Will been faithful as well? (Will/anyone who could have died in the years after AWE). Is Will released or does he sail on the Seven Seas forever?
