Ahoy! Ancient PotC fic, less-anciently jossed

[kayliemalinza]

Ok, so after Dead Man's Chest came out, I wanted so badly for Norrington to have a happy ending. The Navy wasn't an honest option any more, but he was a sailing man through and through, so piracy, privateering, or merchant trading it must be

Awwww! That last line makes me want to cuddle norington.

By the way, it's Jen. I just can't seem to get into my LJ account.

*wide-eyes*

can... can there be more? I do so wish for there to be more.

I AM WILLING TO BARGAIN. I cannot make thousand-pocketed coats, but perhaps you will be willing to trade for paper cranes?

I'm not going to write more PotC fic about the Coat with a Thousand Pockets, but I have adapted it for my Big Project of Big Doom so in about 80 years, when I have finished the damn thing, you can read it. ^_^

Bwahaha, this is so perfectly Norrington. :D
Not just the snark, but the ridiculous things that he seems to fall into more often than not.

Man, I miss PotC. :(

PS: I love your language. 0_0

It was dyed a most pleasing ruddy colour, lined inside with buttery silk, trimmed with sturdy brocade and encrusted from collar to hem with the requisite pockets. They numbered one thousand exactly and, as young Mr Norrington discovered upon being summoned to the shop, one thousand pockets each at the standard rate came up to quite a sum. (The seamstress, generous soul that she was, offered him the rest of the coat at no charge.)

<3 brilliance!

Yeah, Norrington was a good guy who got caught in the wrong genre at the wrong time. :P

P.S. Thank you! I call it "English." ^_^

Srsly though, the original draft of this was in a more modern style (it was one of those things where I just bash the keyboard in the desperate hope of producing something) but I went to add on the last few paragraphs and they came out in that old-fashioned British diary sort of way, so I had to go back and revise everything else. o.O

Ha ha, that steamstress is fierce. I want to be her when i grow up.

[captain_bookcat]

ha! best summary of his situation.

surely it is more than your common, everyday english. Not garden variety, if you will. (idk, it flows all pretty. :P)

agreed. the seamstress is awesome. :D
