Woot! My entry for the Aliases ficathon is finally finished, and it only took, what, a month of writing and rewriting, and six false starts? Yeah.
yahtzee63, my dear, I hope you like - but if you don't, not to worry. I have two other nearly-finished fics who also fulfil the prompts and story requirements, but which I decided to leave off finishing in favour of this one. I warn you that I attempted humour, here. You are not to mock me for it if it fails. *wrings hands agitatedly*
TITLE: Able Seamen
AUTHOR:
kangeikoRECIPIENT:
yahtzee63REQUEST: Sloane in ship captain's garb, interaction with Jack, no mention of Irina or Emily, a storm.
Summary: Jack and Arvin and getting acquainted. Here there be slash. And also rum. (No, that bit is a lie.)
Notes: Much inspiration came from 'Sea Fever' by John Masefield. Any mangling of his poetry is entirely my own fault. Many thanks to my intrepid betas:
wingsmith,
queenspanky,
likeadeuce and most especially
athena25, who worked long and hard to make this not suck quite as badly. Anything you like is probably due to their efforts; all remaining snaphus can be blamed on me.
