oooh, now this was very interesting. I really liked it. Good look into Beckett's past. It's great how he first laughs at these stories, makes sense. Nice work. :)

Gah! Sorry I haven't been keeping up lately. But I'm always happy to go back and read one of your stories on my flist! :)

She offered him a compass that would point to the thing he wanted most if he would only set her free. He had had her whipped and thought no more of the matter. - Dramatic, and totally heart-stopping. You really know how to connect with Beckett, and I think that illustrating his behavior is one of your strengths.

In that moment of shocking clarity, the stories were no longer the lore of the sea. They became Beckett’s way ahead. - You always manage to end on such a strong note. I'm sure mary684 will be pleased! :) :)

Fine tale what you've writ. Sharp details to knit the story tight together. I like tis very much--reads smoothly and has that chilling capper of a last paragraph!

GAH! I'm so far behind in reading! So sorry to just be getting to this.

Wow and wow again! How BRILLIANT that he would meet Tia and she would offer him the compass and he would refuse ONLY to have it turn up on Jack's person! Oh, how that must had Utterly Rankled Him! Bah! I love it!

I like how he's raw and a sort of 'self-proclaimed' man of the world, not believing any of these foolish stories nor really understanding what it is to be a sailor -- it's all So Beneath Him. And his moment of 'shocking clarity' when he sees how it all can serve to better his position -- ooo, man! You are good. He's almost too evil.

Okay, I'm beginning to really like him now. *g* There's something really devious in him that bears further investigation. Every time you scratch the surface of him, I find something new to enjoy, if not admire.

YAY! I'm so glad you enjoyed this, especially since you inspired it *g*

Also, I just can't say how thrilled I am that I might be making a Beckett fan out of you *g* The little Lord is always in need of admirers...or recruits for his world domination tour. LOL.

Oooh, Beckett is such a good villain. Pitch perfect character - cold arrogance but determined and cruel with it.

I liked this a lot, nice job!

sammistarr March 24 2009, 21:06:39 UTC

Thank you! I'm glad you think I got his character right *g*

And (as you can probably tell), I love me some Beckett, especially because he is such a good villain.

Thanks for reading!
