PotC -- Speed Bonnie Boat

[artaxastra]

Pirates! I can't get them to leave! Not even Very Loud Beethoven is getting Elza and crew back instead of the Pirates! So I bring you this story, sequel to A Means and An End from earlier this week -- what happens the second night out from Tortuga. It brings up one of the things I think is an interesting direction for Jack's backstory.

*laughs* He did use the Jacobite excuse!

Ah, Jack. You are a piece of work. *fond grin*

[artaxastra]

The Jacobite excuse is too good not to use! He is a piece of work, isn't he? Distracting, distracting....

"Onward!" the sailors cry.

It really is. He's fascinating.

What a grand grasp of the art of misdirection.

[musesfool]

Aw, he's so sweet!

[artaxastra]

*g* He can carry anything off, he thinks. Part of his charm, I suppose.

You are killing me dead with these drabbles darling. Just killing me.

:) I love that you have Pirates on the brain.

Thank you!

Pirates pirates pirates! I can't get a thing done on my original novel.

I am gleefully taken with Pirates! Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback.

I'm glad you liked the description of the scars. Flogging scars are not pretty. Jack may have the self confidence to pass off something disfiguring as not mattering, but I kind of think it really does matter. No matter how quickly he turns the conversation into a Big Jack Story.

fabu recced this, and I must add it to my J/E recs list. Funny and uncomfortable and intimate in the best ways. Beautiful work. I very much hope Pirates continue to absorb your interest, at least for a while. We're enjoying the results so much!

Thank you! I'm really glad you liked it!

I'm off on the pirates, and I don't see stopping soon!
