Oh, that is wonderful, beautifully written and so evocative of their dance, the four of them. Norrington's voice and Elizabeth's are perfection, and that last line made me catch my breath. Brava ♥

Thank you! I'm glad you thought the voices sounded right - this was my first time writing Norrington, so that's good to hear. His dry tone is hard to pin down!

[sharklady35]

Dang, that's gorgeous! I can hardly believe it's your first Norrington-centric work... I wish you'd do more!
(Not least of all because I'm intensely curious about ghost-Norrington's meetings with Jack.)

[vialethe]

Thank you! It's actually my first full-length PotC fic in general, never wrote more than a drabble for it before.

As for ghost Norrington's meetings with Jack, lilfluffykitten's original fic that I linked up there is all about that, go read it at once! It's awesome and full of witty (and slightly drunken) banter between the boys.

Thanx- I'd overlooked that link before. Such a shame lilfluffy never wrote a sequel... but at least she inspired you!

I've already squeed over this but, you know, *squee*

[vialethe]

Hee! I'm still delighted you like it - the more I wrote of it, the more anxious "omg this is way too far from the original story!!!" thoughts I had. So I shall squee over your squee!!

Hi. I know this fic is a few months old now, but you still might want to link to it at norribeth. It deserves to have more readership! They take anything at that community, so long as the main characters are Elizabeth and James, even if it's not romantic/shippy.
