Aww! That was sweet. I was so sad when Will died/didn't die because I could only think "but what about Elizabeth?!". Their marriage would technically only last about 4 or 5 days, top.

and icon love! XD

I know! I was too, even after that final scenes after the credits, but according to many, that green flash, when he comes back in that scene signifies a soul coming back from the dead, ie curse broken.

I guess the thing is that if the Captain of the Dutchman could find a love that would be true his cures is broken, but Davey's love was not so he was stuck and then he went rogue and got all tentacally and such.

This here post http://kaellana.livejournal.com/47483.html talks all about it.

But for the sake of this fic I went to the darkside, otherwise I tend to agree with her.

I'd love it if you read the other one I wrote, let me know what you think. :) http://thegranddewru.livejournal.com/99177.html

Oooh~ What an interesting theory! I haven't made a fanish post about my viewing yet (but I usually always do~) so when I write on up, I'll post my views on it!

I'll be reading the other one as soon as this is posted!

LOL I always say I will, but I never do.

I like to believe in the broken curse, because 10 years apart is bittersweet, forever is just bitter.

OH! This was amazing! (So, *so* sad, but amazing nonetheless.)

That would most definitely be the darker side the curse. And what wonderful insight, dear! I love that they still have an eternal connection, but . . . oh, poor Will! Never truly being able to share his love with her. And poor Elizabeth -- never understanding why she feels drawn to a man she may never see again.

Even if it is more bitter than sweet, it was still a brilliant story.

(Tell me she recognizes him ten years later!)

*sob*

Wow, I'm so glad you like it... I have admit I really like it! Thats probably narcissistic of me huh? It's so crazy to me how these ideas keep taking hold of me! I love it though.

I think he could get away with another ten years, but when she's fourty and he shows up still looking 25 or whatever, he'd have some explainin' to do!

Not at all. I think it's important to like one's own work. (There are stories of mine, I'm happy to say, that I love.) It's especially good when your work is the cause of a lot of intriguing thought . . .

For instance, upon re-reading your story, I found it interesting that there was no mention of Jack. (I should first say that I think this was proper storytelling on your part, which is probably why I did not miss him the first time through. You did an excellent job keeping the focus of the fic where it belonged: on Will and Elizabeth and their connection over the centuries.) However, although Jack really had no place in the action here, in retrospect I find it interesting that any thoughts of him were absent from Will's reminiscence. This gave rise to a few questions ( ... )

thegranddewru June 5 2007, 03:48:32 UTC

Really? It's okay? I'm glad because honestly I think this might be my favorite story of mine! I don't know why, it's like it just came to me so easily and completely... I don't think I ever had a story birthed like that before ( ... )

Loved this! Original idea, and very bittersweet. I love the idea that Will can seem to sense Elizabeth even through all that time.

thegranddewru June 2 2007, 04:32:46 UTC

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :)

hikari_cyhan June 2 2007, 04:54:38 UTC

Oh, gosh--that was so sad, I cried inside! Poor Will, sometimes not even able to spend the whole day with her reincarnations.

thegranddewru June 2 2007, 07:16:40 UTC

Poor Will, I know. And then there are the years between when her soul returns. I wonder which is worse.

Thank you for reading.

veronica_rich June 2 2007, 05:04:53 UTC

What an original idea! I love it.

thegranddewru June 2 2007, 07:17:41 UTC

Thank you. I was worried it might be a little cracked, I'm really glad you loved it.
