Squee for these two sticking by each other, ouch for Cotton, and a slow and painful death to those who hurt him. Very, very good fic.

[txorakeriak]

Thank you very much for reading and commenting! I'm glad you found this a good fic - I'm never too sure about my writing. :)

[txorakeriak]

I'm sure there are (slashy) Gibbs/Cotton fics out there - though I must admit I've never read one. I hope my portrayal of the two was convincing for you. :)

And what life among Pirates might have been like- not just the romanticized version but also the bloody, cruel parts.
That was my main zeal, actually. :)

wow! that was awesome!! I always wanted to know about Cotton's tongue thing...

[txorakeriak]

Thank you! :) I'm afraid I couldn't really throw too much light on the whole thing about Cotton losing his tongue because I simply had no idea what to write, but at least could write about the time afterwards, and Gibbs really is too cute when he's all nervous and worried about his old shipmate. :)

[pint_of_boyd]

hehehe! oh yes he is! aww I've always loved Gibbs. I loved how you wrote him!

I like how realistic you made this.

Poor Cotton. *huggles Gibbs and Cotton*

[txorakeriak]

Thank you. I wanted this to be as realistic as possible and I'm glad I could convince you. It's not easy to write about something you haven't experienced and can hardly imagine, but the pirate literature I've read helped a lot. :)

Poor Cotton indeed. *hugs him* I'd say I'm sorry for what I did to him, but then again, it wasn't me that made him lose his tongue. *glares at Disney*

Ouch. Very painful, but a great bit of backstory.

[txorakeriak]

Not my happiest fic, I'm sorry. But I'm glad you liked it nevertheless. :)
