TITLE: Even Villians Learn to Love
CULPRIT: Coventina Mor
SUMMARY: "Jack Sparrow thinks that the Black Pearl is his only true love... until the fateful day when love itself is found onboard the Pearl itself... lotsa Jack... UNFINISHED"
BEST LINE: "He said that the only true love of his life was the Pearl, yet deep down inside he knew he still had yet to find his one true love." no comment

THE VERDICT



Walk the plank, bitch.

NAME: Mara Avice
EYES: "two deep, endless, beautiful black orbs" I believe, on basic principle, that one should never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, use the word "orbs" in reference to someone's eyes.
HAIR: "long ebony black hair"
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: "beautiful beyond words"
OH SO SPESHUL POSSESSIONS: Well, she used to have a ship named the Firebird. It caught on fire and sunk.
OBNOXIOUS AND/OR IMPLAUSIBLE ORIGIN: A pirate captain whose boat sunk. How many times have we seen this before?
OBNOXIOUS AND/OR IMPLAUSIBLE CANON CONNECTIONS/AFFILIATIONS: Jack's one true love, of course.
SOOPER SPESHUL ABILITIES: none

THE "PLOT": Jack is sailing along fine and dandy when the ship comes across someone in the water. It it, of course, a Sue. Jack must identify the Sue as a woman. Apparently, his crew doesn't know one when they see one. The Suethor says that when the fic gets "real good" later chapters will be on AdultFanfiction.net. Jack mentally claims the Sue as his immediately. She wakes up. Suethor feels the need to divide the very short chapter into two parts by putting "Sea Soaked Part 2" inbetween one scene and the next. Sometimes, I wonder if these Suethor's have ever even read a book before. I never thought that knowing how to designate scenes and divide a story into logical chapters without looking like an idiot was a special skill. Sue makes a fuss about being a captain. Jack, understandably, ignores her. She makes a fuss about being a female pirate and tells his crew that they've never seen one. I stare in wonder at the big ass plot-hole that Anamaria just fell through. Sue almost falls over board just so that Jack can save her. The Black Pearl is attacked by some ship called the Albatraum. Jack and Sue are both captured. Sue frets over Jack. Jack wakes up and the "new evil" threatens them. His name is Captain Merdoro Platt. *snicker* Anyway, Jack gets introduced the Captain's daughter. Sue screams "dramatically" as he's tortured. Then she too is whipped. Then they make out in their cell... after having just been whipped. Will shows up, as the captain of his own ship and takes the Albatraum. Jack and Sue have some dumb conversation about when they should be called Captain and Sue slaps Jack twice.

NOTES: The author keeps saying that the more people review the better the story will get. If only it were true.

EXCERPT:
The only thing remotely original about this fic is that Jack has 'copper' eyes.

Chappy 2

Sea Soaked Part 1

"Well men," Jack started, "This 'ere pirate is a woman and she's still alive." So... his crew doesn't know a woman when they see one? What about Anamaria? Where is she? He said. He stood and looked down at his crew with a solemn face. Gibbs whisper could faintly be heard, "'Tis bad luck for a woman to be onboard, says I, bad luck."

Slowly, Jack bent back down and sat cross-legged on the deck. He moved the woman up with his left hand. Using his right he gently took off the bandanna and long ebony black hair fell towards the ground and barely touched the deck.

"She's a beaut', now ain't she. Eh, Captain Jack Sparrow?" One of the crew members said eagerly. They hadn't seen a woman for months and now they were all getting restless.

*My beaut'* Jack Sparrow thought to himself Well, that was fast. as he stood and carried the girl to his cabin. He laid her on the bed and slowly started to take off her wet clothes. Right before he undid her shirt he heard the crew behind him. He turned and saw Gibbs and the rest standing at the door. What is this a sitcom? Gibbs "hmmphed." and so did a few others. Jack saw eagerness and confusion on their faces and he felt his own turn a little red. I feel as though I can say, with great confidence and absolute certainty, that Captain Jack Sparrow does. not. blush.

"Aye men, she needs rest and dry clothes and a warm bed. Now leave 'er alone and work the ship as yer supposed to."

The men slowly turned around and Jack went and closed the door. On the other side one of the men whispered to another, "Aye and I bet he'll be the one to keep the bed warm tonight, eh?" Then Gibbs gave him a stern look for talking that way of their captain. "Oh, sorry, Gibbs, sir, but I can't be helping meself when the Cap'ain says he's given the perty lady pirate new clothes and a warm bed!"

Sea Soaked Part 2 Why exactly is this necessary?

It was late at night when Jack awoke from his chair by screaming coming from his bed. He stood up and buttoned up his shirt (which was open to cool him off ; ) ) Why is she winking at us? It's not as though just because she gratuitously writes him with his shirt open we can magically see it. Or is she under the impression that her descriptive abilities are so good that she can evoke vivid images in her readers' minds? There, on his bed, the woman was crying out and writhing, almost like she was in pain.

"NOOO!!! Run, please, the mast, its on fire! Abandon ship men. OHH NOO!!"

Jacks eyes widened at her words. *She certainly dresses like a pirate and now here she is ordering around men.* He quickly ran over to where he threw his coat. He grabbed and placed it on her to make her warmer, even thought she already had a pile of his blankets on her. He held it tight to her and whispered soothing words in her ear. I hate mothering!Jack. I hate mothering!Jack. I hate mothering!Jack...

Mara's Dream. Again. Why do I feel the need to write up how one should divide up the parts of a story?

Fire. She was running, falling, wet. Swimming faster now, then her first mate Zeedu's face appeared saying it was alright, to calm down, that everything was ok, and then he was engulfed in flames.

End dream. *sigh*

"NOOO!!! ZEEDU NOO!!!" the woman cried out and grabbed Jacks arm. Her eyes shot open and she sat strait up, almost hitting Jack himself. Her head turned to face him and he found himself staring into two deep, endless, beautiful black orbs. He had never seen such pretty eyes.

The woman took a deep breath and automatically reached for her dagger, which she always kept hidden in her clothes. only to find that she had new, dry clothes on. She backs onto the bed and hugged Jacks coat tightly. Then, he held out her hand. She was about to cry out but he cut her off.

"Good evening to ye, miss. I'm Jack Sparrow, Captain o' the Black Pearl and owner of that 'ere coat yer huggin' so tight. Now, if ye would be so kind as to introduce yerself I would greatly appreciate it." Oh, Lord. Bad dialogue, ahoy.

Mara looked shocked. Captain Jack Sparrow? The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow? The on and only pirate she had always feared meeting, she thought he was an ugly, grotesque man who raped and killed all and gave no mercy. Her years of being a pirate and a Captain at that told her never to cross paths with the merciless Captain Jack Sparrow. But he didn't look the part of an infamous pirate, well he did, but he was younger, more handsome, very attractive. So, being "young" and attractive somehow precludes someone from being a rapist and a murderer who shows no mercy?

She came out of her trance when he held out a hand to her. *No use trying to fight now, he's taken your weapons and there's no way out, save the door which is behind him.* She slowly came forward and accepted his hand and he helped her off the bed. She stood stair up and her petit 5' 2" showed up to his almost 5' 11". And then her black eyes met his copper ones. *Suck beautiful eyes.* Well, I would say 'Why not? They're chocolate balls.' but they've now turned into pennies; which don't taste very good. She thought.

"Well, hello Captain Jack Sparrow. I am Mara Avice, Captain of the once floating ship known as the Firebird." "the once floating ship"? So, do people normally run around captaining ships that don't float? Read a book, dammit. Then maybe you wouldn't sound totally awkward trying to communicate a simple idea.

OOO And so they meet. YAYAY. I know I said this story is a PG- 13, and well, it hasn't seemed like one. but soon it will. maybe in the next chappy or somewhere. keep checkin back for da romance!!! Oh. I can't wait.

Ooo and PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!!!

The OOCness hurts.

Chappy 3: Captain.

"I am Mara Avice, once Captain of the Firebird, which sank and I guess I'm the only survivor." Mara admitted with a heavy sigh and a solemn voice. "I thank ye kindly for savin' me outta the water."

"It was no trouble, lass. But, if ye don't mind me inquirin', how exactly did yer ship sink?"

"Fire."

"Oh, ahaha, yes now ye can stop with the antics, tell me how it really sank, I mean, come on, yer trickin' me, cuzz yer boats name was the Fire."

"Mr. Sparrow, it was not a boat, it was a ship. And I am not trickin' ye, we got caught in a storm and our main mast got struck by lightning. I told the crew to abandon ship but they refused me orders in order to save the ship and me own life. The mast fell over and killed some men, then caught the rest of the ship on fire. Then the stupid buffoons decided it was time to abandon ship. And so, I did too, and held onto a piece of wood that had fallen off the ship. Not shortly after, I became very cold and lost consciousness, for what reason I do not know. But now, here I be, in yer cabin, in yer clothes and I got no idea of how I got here."

Jack was amazed at her story. A ship struck by lightning, its rare but he knows it to be true. He stumbled for words.

"Uh, well, me crew found ye and pulled ye from the water. umm, but now, yer gonna need some food." Jack then again was looking for the right thing to say in front of this female captain, who, as he thought, we beautiful beyond words. "Please, uh, Miss." *DAMN. Imma captain and I should be ordering her around. No couldn't call her captain that would make her all mad.* "Miss Mara Avice, would ye please follow."

"I am a Captain, Mr. Sparrow and I would very much appreciate it if you called me by that title." Her hand hovered near his face. If he got slapped he definitely didn't deserve it.

"No need for all the fuss, luv." He said waving his hands in the air. "Captain Mara Avice, please follow me. I got meself a whole hull full. aye that rhymes, I be good at rhymes." But... that doesn't rhyme. I mean, ok, technically, hull/full would be an eye rhyme, but we all know that's not what Suethor meant.

"Go on Mr. Sparrow."

"That's Captain Sparrow, miss."
"We're gonna hafta have a chat about this Captain business." What's to chat about? They're on his ship. She doesn't even have a ship anymore. If she doesn't comply toss her ass overboard. Simple.

"Yes, yes we are, now aren't we, Captain Avice?" Jack said in his mocking tone of voice. She didn't pay any mind to it; she just crossed her arms and stood there. "Well, as I be sayin', I gotta lot of food and yer gonna need food. Now why don't ye just follow me and get some nice food an' after we can 'ave a 'chat' 'bout bein' a Captain, savvy?" He replied in his famous, almost one breath sort of speech voices. Read. A. Book!

Jack turned and walked a few paces and then looked back at her to see if she would follow him. She did and he led her onto the deck. There, the men were already eating and they stopped what they were doing and looked at her. She noticed some just stared but most gave her a wink or a grin, showing off their gold teeth. She was unafraid by this, of course, she was a Captain herself and had a crew just like this one.

Now, Captain Jack Sparrow, with all his knowledge in the world, noticed this. *Hmmm, well, unafraid, that can be good, but she might take advantage of me crew, her being a Captain and all. AYE NO!!! Hey, yer the captain around here, stop thinkin' bout that.*

"Mateys, this is *cough* Captain *cough* Mara Avice. She be joinin' our crew now's. I don' want no fuss over her and I want ye all to be nice and kind to her, savvy?" Jack announced to his crew. He turned to Gibbs. "Gibbs, me first matey, go and get Mizz Mara some bread and water."

"Aye, Captain, I will." And with that Gibbs went off to find some food.

"OK, now, Mizz Mara, yer gonna stay out here an' eat food and be a crew member. I want ye to do want the crew tells ye to do and I don' want no fuss. Meanwhile, I'll be asleep in me cabin." Jack tipped his hat and turned toward his cabin. *I don' wanna be bothered right now. I'm just tired. even though she is perty. hey stop think bout her and her pertyness!!!* *cries*

"Jack Sparrow!!! Ye told me that we was gonna have a talk! An' ye just can't be leaving me out 'ere! Imma Captain and ye know it and I deserve a bed too!" Mara screamed after him.

He grumbled the word Captain at her and kept walking to his cabin.

"I heard that Sparrow. I don' care if ye are a captain!"

"An' I don' care if ye are a captain too. Yer on me ship and while yer on me ship yer gonna follow me orders. Yer under me command now, missy, an' when I tell's to stay out 'ere yer gonna do it. Savvy?" And with that he turned and slammed his door behind him.

"JACK SPARROW!!!" Mara yelled in frustration.

"That Captain, Missy, get it right." She heard him say behind the door.

"ARGH!!!!!!"
