Aww, this one kinda gave me goosebumps. A little side we don't often see of Jack, being all humane and thinking of other people like that. Very nice, as always. :)

That was fast! *g*

And yay for goosebumps! And one doesn't often think of a -pirate- as such, but we all know Jack is a softie.

Thank you very much, m'dear!

You must know I spend my Sunday nights mindlessly clicking refresh on various internet sites. Please!

And actually, I'm so confused between canon!Jack and the various fic!Jacks that the line is blurred, and I can't remember what Jack is really supposed to be like. I mean, before you planted yourself on LJ, I was fairly certain that nowhere in the movies does Cutler spank Jack on the rear with a riding crop and call him his bad little sailor. . .but now I'm not sure.

OMG!! Bad little sailor! *dies in puddle of happiness and giggles* That's fantastic.

And I actually think that was a deleted scene from AWE. *nod*

This was chilling. In a good way.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting! Glad it worked for you!

Wonderfully done! A really great look at that final scene in AWE. I truly loved Jack's change of heart, and I think you've managed to capture a connection he has had with his "good man" side that he possessed all his life in that moment :)

Great job!

Thank you! I'm glad you got that from it--I was originally toying with something in there about him realizing that he was a good man, but I couldn't get it how I wanted it, so I left it this way. I'm glad it still came through!

Thanks for reading!

GAH! "...the fire fade from young Turner's eyes..."
Oh, how that hurts! You done good here. I think you've really hit the nail on the head with this one, because I think of all the things Jack had to deal with in his life, this moment in AWE was his most tragic. Nice job.

Thank you! And I must say, you really have a knack for picking out my own personal favorite parts of my pieces *g*

Just wonderful. So true, every word, and so much of Jack's story packed into such a short space.

sammistarr February 10 2009, 23:42:31 UTC

Thank you so much! I'm glad was able to convey all that to you.

Thanks for reading and your wonderful comment.
