What a wonderfully sweet, gorgeously-written story to read first thing in the morning :-)

Thank you

He chuckled, took another, deeper drink, then said, provocatively, “You should be spanked. But I don’t suppose he would.”

She successfully stifled a bark of shocked laughter, and said, with mock indignation, “Of course not!” Then, after the briefest of pauses, asked suspiciously, “Would you?”

“Of course not. I’d kiss you.”

*melts*

So happy to have assisted you in melting. ;) And, speaking of wonderful things to read first thing in the morning, thank you so much for the glowing review!

Woke up this morning, perfectly miserable, with a terrible cold... then discovered this... Made everything seem much better :-) It's gorgeous, beautifully written and thought-out, and of course, it makes sense that she has allowed him to call her Elizabeth at some point. And while I dearly love the whole thing (she brings him the flask and all), this bit in particular just feels so *right*:

“I have spoken… begged my father, and James. They will do nothing. And Will… he stands at the rail and looks to the sea, and asks what one man can do?”

“A home question,” Jack remarked, his voice light.

Her hand turned and gripped his. “If I were a man, I’d show him what one man can do!”

Elizabeth in a nutshell, as it were ;-)

Monday morning AND a cold? Sigh. Hope you feel better soon! Jen

Thanks! :-)

Oh, sweetie! I'm so sorry to hear you've taken ill. I hope it will be short-lived, and that you will soon be able to enjoy the spring weather and greenery (to which, I like to assume, you have access).

{{{hugs you from afar}}}

I'm glad this little fic cheered you up some. I am certainly enjoying writing these J/E snippets. I had the plot of this one written down, but when I saw that pic that was posted yesterday I decided I just had to NOT do the paperwork I was supposed to do and write this instead. So I'm taking today off to do the RL paperwork--got a sub for work and everything! It's quite a delightful feeling being home on a Monday morning. Wish you were here. I would feed you hot tea with honey, and we could watch PotC while I go through my papers.

Feel better soon!

Great back story for those new pics floating around out there...!

Beautiful! And well done, of course. I feel like I've just emerged from the dark and dank of the brig - but there is just the hint of a tingle in my hand.

“Would you?”

“Of course not. I’d kiss you.”

(knees buckle-good thing I'm sitting)

“You’d make a fine pirate, love.”

“Would I?” She took a deep breath, withdrew her hand, and her voice was less strained as she said, “Be careful, Captain. If fate intervenes, I may hold you to that.”

(Such a fine mix of strength of will and desire.)

"The Parting Glass" - my favorite watering hole in Saratoga, NY. "Hair of the Dog" - my favorite Irish-ey band who play there often, and have recorded the most haunting version of this song that I have ever heard. Mike DeAngelis-beautiful tenor voice-brings tears to my eyes every time.

Thank you so much for starting this gloomy Monday off well!

So happy to have brightened your Monday! I'll have to check and see if I can get a recording of Hair of the Dog playing The Parting Glass -- great song. The only recording I have of it is the Robert Shaw Chorale Irish Folk Songs CD, which is excellent in its way--lots of great songs on it.

Yes, I found those pics that were posted yesterday to be quite inspiring and decided I had to write this, instead of doing the things I was supposed to do. ;) I'd already had the plot sitting there for a couple weeks, though--nice of erinya to request a J/E deleted scene.

Here you go! I think this worked - web site for my boys. Their CD's are sold on Amazon, or you can buy them through the site. The song "The Parting Glass" is found on the CD "The Parting Glass", which was recorded live at...The Parting Glass in the fall of 2000. I'm proud to say that I was a member of that happy crowd! Honestly, if you were so inclined to purchase this CD and found you didn't like it (not likely) I would buy it from you, including tax and gratuities..... These guys are really, really fantastic. Anyone who enjoys good music, with an Irish flare, will love them! (End of commercial)

I got that CD today--it's GREAT!!! Really a fun one. Thanks for recommending it!

I'm wordless.

As is everything in your J/E plotline, this is lovely. So delightful how you build the relationship between them, carefully and bit-by-tiny-bit, and stay perfectly true to canon. Wonderful missing scene.

[geekmama]

So happy to have rendered you wordless! Which condition was expressed by some very kind words indeed--thank you! :)

Lovely :-)

[geekmama]

Thanks! So happy you enjoyed.
