GUH. And GUH again. THAT WAS BLOODY HOT.

I love the game between them, their playful fight for dominance. I love the banter, how they're always looking for ways to best each other. This is essentially why I love Sparrington so much. And you nailed them just about pitch-perfect, my dear. You built the tension nicely (and entirely naturally), and the actual sex scene...hell yes. I love that they're so casual about the shift in their relationship, and yet it's very obvious they both want it (and agree that it shouldn't be just a one-off thing).

Your take on James is marvellous. It's canon-James with a twist, and you're giving him a chance to show his true potential, something the movies never did.

I'm not the biggest fan of Elizabeth, but you've made her fun, and I enjoyed her teasing of both Jack and James.

So yes, keep up the good work! :)

Thank you very, very kindly, my dear. You flatter me very greatly, and I much appreciate the long review, and not just because so much of it is praise; although that helps my ego a little bit. I'm quite glad that I seem to have achieved what I originally aimed for with this pair, with the games and the banter and my slightly twisted version of James Norrington, who might well be blamed for how I ended up writing this story.
I'm quite glad that you like all of the above.

I'm also glad that I'm not the only one who thought, "Wait, Elizabeth Swann can be...fun? And not just when she's threatening Beckett?" And I assure you that, as I was writing this story, that is exactly what went through my mind once I started writing the interactions between her and the two captains. Suddenly, she seemed kind of adorable and entertaining, which surprised me.

And as for keeping up the good work, I shall do my best. Thanks again.

*pleased laugh*

Brilliant. Bloody brilliant. Especially liked the scene with Elizabeth and Jack right at the end. ^_^ Can't wait for more!

[likeahurricane7]

That's my second-favorite bit with Elizabeth. She's already entertaining when she's the one doing the pestering, but having her flushed, flustered, fussy because she's perturbed...is priceless. My all-time favorite, however, is yet to come. Still much formatting to do, and a few more bits to add in and/or move and/or polish before I can post any of it. Alas. Something to look forward to, I suppose.

[pearly_dreams]

Oh you tease!! But yes, something to look forward with much anticipation... unless, perhaps, it was the scene in Ch13? I doubt it, if this one was your second-fave...

[likeahurricane7]

Only a little. And no, it isn't the bit with Elizabeth in Ch13 that's my all-time favorite so far. It won't appear for a couple more chapters yet. I'm still trying to straighten out scene-order and some other things, so it may take a while to get there, I'm afraid. There's some very well-hidden foreshadowing of its cause in Ch13, though, but now I'm just being cruel.

Huzzah to you for TEH HOT sex scene. I am loving this more and more with each new posting. Anxiously awaiting more! :)

[likeahurricane7]

Thank you. I'm glad that my first attempt to write slash seems to have gone over well with people. It makes me feel a bit accomplished.

I love this: as though he wanted to devour the man beneath him and cherish him at the same time. Thanks for another lovely chapter. :-)
