Oh my goodness! You liked it that much? :D Thank you so much!

*hugs you and jumps around happily*

it's fantastic. it's rich and layered. will's got this mature, quiet acceptance of the possibility that he might die here, but still holds hope that he might free his father. and a sad, aching sort of feeling about who he loves not being who he really loves. and the counting is wonderful.

i'm newish to pirates fic, and this is the first thing i've ever favorited in this fandom. yay! :)

*flails again*

*blush* What an honour! Thank you so much, and what a wonderfully perceptive comment. I'm so happy that you got all that out of it. That's very much what I was hoping to convey.

If you want more pirate fic (well, J/W specifically), I've got loads of stuff in my memories that's all worth checking out, as well as the links on my sidebar to authors and websites that have good things. I've got a master list of all my fics at the top of my journal page as well (/shameless self-pimping).

*hugs* You've made me very happy :D

Interesting take on how Will came to be in that barrel of water. Thinking about it, it really doesn't make sense that Sao Feng would have let him live if he'd been caught trying to steal the map... unless a bargain was struck.

I am afraid I don't believe Will when he says he's not doing it for Jack, though. *g*

[ainsoph15]

Yes, there was definitely a prior arrangement between them, which was hinted at with the scene where Will and Sao Feng are talking and Mercer overhears. Plus, Will's still got Bootstrap's dagger. Considering how thorough Tai Huang was with taking the weapons from Barbossa and Elizabeth (lol, love that bit with the huge gun), there's no way Will would have got to keep that unless he and Sao Feng had some kind of understanding.

LOL, methinks the piratesmith doth protest too much, eh? ;D

Ooooooooh!

<3!!!!!

Everyone needs to find their way home, William. Look to the stars. They won’t let you down.

*SMOOCH* Gorgeous! Absolutely perfect.

*is very, very happy!*

I can't even write anything coherent, I'm so overjoyed with this!!! LOL!

[ainsoph15]

Oh, sweetie! Yay! *snuggles you* I said in a comment to someone else over at turningpirate, that Jack insisted if he was going to appear in this, he had to have something fantabulous to say. *eyeroll* Always gets his way, that one. I'm so glad you like it, darling!!!

[dragonmad]

XD! That sounds like our boy!

*sigh!!!* This story is so beautifully simple, but so complex at the same time that it makes me shiver! The layers!!!!

*dies!*

Oh, wow. I always wondered how Will was holding his breath all that time. Seems he had plenty to think about!

Everyone needs to find their way home, William.

I love that line the most. :-D

There were so many loopholes and hiding places in the plot. I wondered about Will having Bootstrap's knife, and you've cleared that up completely! Makes perfect sense! I also wondered how they could hold Will so effortlessly beneath the water for so long without nary a struggle. Seems if you were drowning you'd have to be fighting under the surface of that dirty water!

(Frankly, you'd have a mighty big fight from me on your hands if you even suggested making me put a big toe in that stuff...ewww!)

I love the way you put the seconds counting off in there. Makes for a sense of urgency that you forget between the ticking of the second hand, while you're engrossed in Will's thoughts.

And you know what? That last line just KILZ ME DED.

i just love this fic. may i nominate it for a MOME award? :)

[ainsoph15]

Oh my god, wow, yes of course! Thank you so much :) After what has been an incredibly shitty week in RL, you have no idea how much I appreciate you wanting to nominate this (ooh, also my first nomination ever! :D). It's given me the boost I needed. I am so very, very grateful that you thought of me, you lovely darling :)

*hugs*

[stormatdusk]
