Your description of the undercity is wonderful, spooky and a bit surreal as all underworld journeys are, and at the same time a vital and real place. I love your description of Jack's room and his things. Of course he has the posters of himself! And his bed is a wonderful warm rat's nest, or perhaps I should say a sparrow's nest. A magpie's nest.
This is wonderful, and I'm looking forward so much to the next part!

This was wonderful, of course. I adore your Jack, bruised and suffering yet still compelled to help Elizabeth despite his own hurt. *sigh*
This bit I adored: Posters of Jack, describing his myriad crimes and the significant sums offered for his capture, were pinned in uneven rows above the bed.
LOL! Brilliant little detail that rings so perfectly true. Love, love, love. :) More soon?

And yay for the posters! I had this vision of Jack stealing them whenever he comes across one, and of course he's not going to toss them out. *g*
As for what he said, I'd tell you, but Jack said I'd have to walk the plank. ;)
More is on the way. I hoping to post the thrid installment this weekend, but it's all going to depend on the craziness level at work. I really want to get a few more done before we close on our house at the end of October, as I know once we move I'll be MIA for awhile.
Thanks again! *hugs*

I think though the line that really brought a tear to my eye was her crying for 'her father in his little boat'. For some reason this image is just so sad.
Wonderfully done. Can't wait for more.

--- Thank you so much! There relationship has such potential for twists and turns - is so mutlilayered - that I always feel that I've missed some facet after writing a story. I'm so excited to know they read true to you.
And poor Weatherby. AWE really swept him under the rug a bit, and it just breaks my heart to think of him in that boat. Elizabeth was his world, and he really died without closure, without knowing she survived. It's terribly sad.
Thanks so much for commenting! More should be on the way this weekend, hopefully.

And I'm super-happy that it seems natural to you. As much as Jack and Elizabeth (and the rest of the cast) can be archetypes, they are so heartbreakingly human beneath that.
Thanks again! *squishes*
