Oooh, prezzie! I like how this moves from dark to light -- or less dark, at least. My favorite part is the new sails...

made of old washerwomen’s dresses Elizabeth had bargained for. They kept washing and washing and washing them, till their hands were raw, but one can still spot a hint of what they used to be if they look carefully.

That's such a romantical notion, that sails made of beautiful old dress fabric could hold against the Caribbean winds.

And of course part four is lovely.

Thank you so much for the beautiful gift!

and oh, once again my lyrism... apparently i'm making a treadmark out of it.

Beautiful! I like the structure and the way it progresses.

[torn_eledhwen]

How terribly bittersweet. Very nicely structured, though.

and she can only see him once a year

Isn't it ten years? Or literary license?

[aome]

argh, idk exactly what it is *laugh* maybe what i understood from my last watching of the third movie.

anyway, thanks so much for the compliments!

I love the idea of Elizabeth and Jack working together to restore the ship. Very nice!

[savepureness]

...and now that the reveal has been done, I can thank you personally (:

I like the description of the ship, especially the sails. Poor Elizabeth, haunted by those ghosts.
