Oh... oh my god. That was beautiful, simply beautiful

The commodore was staring through the open window, watching the night sky fade to a dawn that would bring the return of loneliness.

That, to me, describe's James character perfectly. Poor man is always lonely, he didn't get the girl, his ship and commission was destroyed... poor guy.

Very great work, as usual. I loved every minute of it!!

Poor man is always lonely

He is, and I kind of fell in love with him while writing this. I think Jack would see their connection - both of them have paid dearly for being good men.

Thanks so much for the lovely comment!

Jack saw a man who longed for freedom, for piracy, but could not find it charted in his soul. Saw a man of dangerous fragility, a man who chose to sail love’s merciless waters without a compass. He made a silent admission that perhaps he was the greater fool. Bedding both the man who had tried to kill him and the woman who had succeeded was surely the ultimate irony. There was not enough rum in this broken world to drown the flavour of that. -- Beautiful. I love the irony, and the way they draw comfort from each other. James fits in perfectly. Brava!

James does fit, and Jack may see that more clearly than Elizabeth. He's a man in love with life's ironies :)

Thank you for the read and comment, appreciate that ♥

:) BTW, did you get my email?

[djarum99]

I did, and just sent a response - I apologize for the delay, I've been ill and just managing to make it through each day. Feeling better now :)

I love that icon - if you made it, can you tell what program you used? I need to learn more about graphics software..

I knew this was yours!! No mistaking it...sensitivity and so observant of Jack.

Pain and pleasure, all at the same time. What a writer!!! I started highlight the best...but just started marking it all. The silent suffering of Gentleman Jack, wow!

I can only study and learn....and find some better make-up to hide the green.

Loved it.....Kerry

The silent suffering of Gentleman Jack

There is a gentle man, underneath his clothes, and his snark, and that razor's edge of darkness. Ah, Jack.

Sorry for the tease, under orders not to reveal authorship until the designated date and time :) Thanks so much for lovely comments!

Ok, I'll just say it:

I love you, dear! You and your stories! Thank you for writing! And for beeing a Sparrabeth shipper! ;)

Now I feel better :] *g*

[djarum99]

Glad you feel better - keep the faith, darling :)

Thanks so much for the *love* and the comment ♥.

*giggle*

I just can't help it - I simply HAD to say it! :] :]

This was lovely. I think so many people just look over James' character when he really does fit well into the whole thing.

Jack saw a man who longed for freedom, for piracy, but could not find it charted in his soul. Saw a man of dangerous fragility, a man who chose to sail love’s merciless waters without a compass.

That was just beautiful. It really captured James I think. Very well written.

I would go on but I'm afraid I don't have the time. Just know that I love your writing, words can't describe ::applauds::

I think so many people just look over James' character when he really does fit well into the whole thing.

His heroic gesture at the end of COTBP really grabbed me, and he suffered so for it in DMC. He does fit, and I'm hoping we'll see much more of him in AWE.

Welcome to the LJ! And thanks so much for commenting here, really appreciate it :)
