so full of trust and so innocently legend & adventure focused

Yes, that's what I was trying to say. Glad it came through. Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

Ah, the devilish charms of the good Captain and Tia Dalma--now that was a heat lightening storm of a gathering. It's amusing that they had worn themselves out playing too hard. The places that man was schooled. Myohmy! The history he has, metaphysical and worldly, what an interesting life he leads.

Jack's all for adventure, for sure. I'm so glad you enjoyed this -- thanks for reading and commenting!

Oh, I really like this one. You know, one of my absolute favorite scenes in DMC is in Tia Dalma's shack ("Jack Sparrow does not know what he wants!", "What vexes all men?" "A woman."). I think that scene speaks very loudly and I love it. So, I love this little backstory!

Thank you so much! I,too, love that scene in the shack -- so much implied by their words and actions.

Tia Dalma has so many possibilities. I really like how you described her visions as shards and that they only sometimes happen. It limits her power, but it also makes us appreciate how smart she is because she can actually make sense of what she sees.

I like Jack swallowing hard before he speaks to her. He knows with her he's got to think before he says anything at all to her, knows there is usually a catch to the things she gives/tells him. But it's clear he took her words to heart, eh?

Very thought-provoking drabble.

I totally buy Jack/Tia, and I love that he stole the 'silver and gold' line from her. Nice!

Thank you!!
