Haha. Loved it. I'm always glad to see Jack make an appearance, and you brought him in beautifully.

geekmama March 10 2006, 17:08:19 UTC

Jack's quite irresistable. I'm happy you enjoyed the little comedy!

Sweet and boozy! What I particularly loved was James' little moment of jealousy. Rather too warmly indeed!

geekmama March 10 2006, 20:59:34 UTC

I do like the idea of James growling. ;)

Glad you enjoyed it!

As usual, your writing is amazing. Are you working on an original novel yet??

geekmama March 10 2006, 21:06:30 UTC

Er... no. Probably should, huh? Maybe inspiration will strike one of these days.

Glad you enjoyed this! Thanks so much for commenting!

Kimi & I are going to see The Libertine this afternoon at 4:40, btw -- I'll let you know how it is. Say hi to Ginger! And give dr_mrow a hug for me.

"What the devil are you doing in my parlour?"

Love it. Love them. Adore it when you make Jack and Norrington friends: comfortable with each other, mostly relaxed but still prickly.

They do make a great "odd couple" -- I noticed it first in reading firesignwriter's Jjail and Moonverse (which was also my first exposure to slash -- nothing like starting with one of the best). It was the relationship she built between them that made it work, and persuaded me that the Commodore was a great foil for Jack. He's so good, in fact, that I got away from writing much about Will at all, which is a shame, really, as he's a great charactrer, too. Maybe the next film will be inspirational in that direction.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting. Have a beautiful weekend!

I so enjoy when writers are able to balance the two of them well (as you do) without losing canon personalities. Don't think I've read Moonverse - will have to find it and put on my fic-to-read list.

Parrot stole another prize from Cat O'Nine? Rotten little bugger didn't let on to me.... Hmmmm. (Goes off in search of Parrot and of another Cat & Parrot tale to tell.)

GM? I'm in the midst of moving again. It's a bummer. But reading this tonight just lit me up from the inside out! I'm feeling all warm and fuzzy - and laughed aloud enough to cause the dogs concern. What a wonderful snippet, so perfectly voiced in all 3 cases - and is there anything better than the three of them in this arrangement? I think not.

Thanks for a delightful interlude!

geekmama March 12 2006, 04:06:06 UTC

Moving again??? You ARE a gypsy, aren't you? So sorry to hear it. Glad I was able to lighten your spirits with this little piece. Thanks so much for the lovely, very complimentary comments! So happy you liked this. :)
