Ooh! A J/E fic! :D

I wish I could quote this entire fic because I just found the whole thing to be so fun and (dare I say it?) adorable! Writing light J/E is difficult because it often causes them to lose their edge, which is what draws us sparrabethers to them in the first place, but this was just so perfect. If I could just quote my favorite part though, it would be

P.S. They called it a draw and decided to share the Captain’s cabin. Don’t worry it’s not like that, they hate each other. T.

You had me laughing out loud during that part! Oh, who am I kidding? I laughed throughout!

Well done!

Thank you, I'm glad you found it both edgy and funny...that was the idea! :)

P.S. Please do not scratch the wood. - Bwahahahaha!!

This was hilarious! I was laughing and grinning throughout, it's so them! Thank you thank you thank you for my wonderful gift!

Dear Todd,

I'm afraid I do worry very much about you all alone among these strange, 'scurvy' people. I'm sorely afraid some of them may have been pirates in the past, and may even relapse in the future. Do take care! That Mr. Gibbs sounds very respectable, however. Stick close to him if you can. (But don't copy his spelling.)

Your loving Mum

PS I shall send you some fruitcake to improve your diet. But what addres should I use?

PPS Perhaps you could persuade this former captain to come and visit me at some point over Christmas. I'd like to know who you're mixing with. You can tell him I have many effective treatments for headlice--some of them are very high in alcohol.

I smell a sequel! :)

haha, I love outsider POVs and epistolary forms and this really tickled me. I'm not even a J/E fan and I loved this. Amusing and tightly written. :)
