I like the story. I like Jack's logic. For some reason, though, I'm hearing Barbossa's words at the beginning come from Gibbs. They just don't seem quite as gruff as Barbossa. Humorous, though!

[operavampirate]

Haha, yeah, that crossed my mind as well, but I figure if you think of them coming out mockingly as only Barbossa can deliver it works.

[artic_fox]

LOL, brilliant. And might I say a fantastic way of ignoring the whole Will/Elizabeth/Marriage thing. And quite valid some might argue (including Jack).

[operavampirate]

Hehe, glad you found it amusing. Usually I'm at an alternate angle, but ignorence indeed can be bliss - so long as you acknowledge what you're to be ignoring as totally ignorable before hand, of course ;)

[freelke]

HAHA! great! I hope there is more to this story and not just a one shot. I loved it, good idea for a story :)

[operavampirate]

Originally I was going to leave it at that, but I might be changing my mind if enough people seem interested. Glad you enjoyed it, despite it being written at 2 am, haha.

:D Merci beaucoup, I'm starting to consider it

Technically Jack is right. And canon. *g* :-)

[operavampirate]

Oh yes, very right. As he would undoubtedly argue that he always is...by some complicated way or another ;) And he's sticking to the code as well - daddy dearest would be proud. Thanks for the comment :)
