PotC fic -- Natural Philosophy

Jack/Elizabeth, R for sexThis goes in the "Nights Out" series, though you don't have to have read any of the others first. They're here if you're interested, though. It covers four nights between Tortuga and finding the chest in DMC, and five nights after the end of the world. Most of the stories are fairly short and full of UST and lust. Here ( Read more... )

Awww!

The table believes in him. It does.

*g* I kind of think the table does.

Oh, this was wonderful! I really love your Jack/Elizabeth fics! What a great couple they are, and I loved the banter--they're so cutely demented and adorable, these two. I love your Jack so much--his voice is perfect!!

Thank you! Yes, they're totally demented, but they work very well together. And I'm glad you like my Jack voice. A special kind of demented!

That was unabashedly sweet. I love the metaphor of the table and how the conversation veers.

What a fantastic series!

I just read them all, start to finish, and I'm absolutely entranced with your portrayal of Jack and Elizabeth. Jack's voice in these is superb, so rich that I can hear him speaking--even the internal narration bits. So charming, with a touch of sadness.

Reading your PotC fic makes me like the second movie more and more. It makes it real for me in a way that I enjoy, not just sit through because I liked the predecessor.

Nicely done!

I can't seem to stop him from being a bit bittersweet. I keep feeling like there's tragedy lurking so close beneath the surface that he's just got to keep the laughs rolling. Know what I mean?

Pirates and philosophy!! *fangirls you shamelessly*

She felt his lips moving against her hair, voice low in her ear. “That man you read about, Captain Jack Sparrow. Dead clever. Insatiable lover. Best swordsman in the Caribbean. Best pirate in the whole world. I invented him.”

“I believe in you,” she said, and kissed him.

Simply gorgeous; the same goes for the whole conversation really. I love how they both talk in strange circles, how Elizabeth can follow Jack's bizarre train of thought, and how they can both be honest with one another (albeit through a highly amusing metaphor... I'm going to have visions of piratical tables for quite some time now...).

*g* Jack can certainly massacre philosophy, can't he?

I'm happy that works for you. They do communicate, strange as it is. They're actually talking about their feelings. In a weird metaphorical way, but talking about what this is and what it might mean. And about both of them feeling uncomfortably infatuated.

I'm going to have visions of piratical tables for quite some time now...).

*g* The piratical table is entirely penknife's fault! Blame her!
