What a wonderful use of the prompt. I do so love Will's pirate boots.

Very realistic, Will working his way back into the town's regard, after their very public intervention at Jack's hanging.

I liked how Jack left something for Will. I sort of see that as not being in Will's debt, along with being a kind of thank you gift. The discreet leaving of a bead, just to let Will know who left the funds, is a great touch.

Good weaving of the Edinburgh and Captain Bellamy into the fic ( ... )

I love those boots, too. They are quite sturdy and handsome, much like their owner.

You picked out a LOT of details, which is far better than I ever manage for feedback. I'm horrible about it, but as a writer, I have to say I enjoy being patted and stroked and told what specifically a person likes. (Not that I expect it. It's sort of like when your cat actually decides to knead your shoulders once a year and it feels good - but you love the cat anyway. *G*)

Thanks for commenting!

Oh, I love this!

But then, I always like stories that assume/show that Will had a social life outside of working in the smithy and mooning over Elizabeth.

And I like Jane Downing. I hope we see more of her in future!

Yeah, I'm not too prolific with the OCs. But when someone writes them well, I like reading about them.

Glad you liked it. I just wish it would stop feeling around here like it looks in your icon ...

Glad you commented!

While you wanted to be a werewolf, I wanted to be Wonder Woman. Later on, it was Marty McFly. *G*

Oh, this just all kinds of happy. I like Downing!

Maybe she'll show up again, who knows? Thanks!
