[POTC holiday fic] - KINGDOMS OF THE SWAN companion vignette - "Frankicense for the King" - 2/3 - R

[writing_samsara]

A/N: Ok ya’ll, here’s part two as promised, with three well in the works. Once again, this baby is a bit rough around the edges, but hey, at least it’s here, right? This story is a vignette that can stand alone if need be, but I’ve envisioned it as a story existing a little ways into the future of my “Kingdoms of the Swan” (KotS) universe - so,

Hee! I love the light-heartedness of this as well as the more serious, sexy elements. Jack dressing up as Will--little does he know that she was just thinking she wouldn't change a thing about him. Sara talking to the baby--she is very amusing as an auntie. Jack being as mad as a wet hen at Elizabeth not being there (he must have been worried.) And the almost-kiss! Well, it's not as if anyone in the doorway will be entirely surprised.

Looking forward to the final part!

So glad you enjoyed it, love! Thanks so much for reading and commen ting. *g*

I'm so happy that everything came across well, especially Sara as you know how tricky OC's can be (especially OCs that you've already written in a totally different light).

Final part is in the works. Had a bit of a setback yesterday, but am trying to plunk it out before the end of the week.

Thanks so much, again! *hugs*

Thanks so much! :)

Hope you have a glorious 2008.

Loved it. Wonderful from start to finish. Oh how I chuckled at Jack - just delightful and the almost kiss - do I even need to comment? I'm sure no one would be surprised and probably thinking 'It's about time!' LOL

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and leave such lovely comments! I really appreciate it, and I'm thrilled to know that you enjoyed my story.

And yes, I'm sure no one is surprised about the almost-kiss - except maybe Jack and Lizzie themselves. *g*

As always, I love the richness of your descriptions, and Sara is a charming OC. And the almost-kiss was just so delicious. Lovely work!!

[writing_samsara]

Oh, thanks so much! I'm so happy that you enjoyed this - especially Sara, as it's difficult to write an OC that people enjoy without falling into the pit of self-insertion.

Thanks again, and Happy New Year!

Was dying to go to bed, but had to ready first. The sacrifices!

And the sacrifices that Jack is willing to make...and his description of said travails were too special! Falling alseep from the exhaustion of having to make himself presentable and bring her breakfast....typical man! It's just too much work, isn't it?

You always bring Jack and Lizzie to life in such personal ways. Both of them have a certain sense of irony about themselves and the world they are in. But, there's nothing better than cranky Jack! Or his 'Jackness'. Loved it!

The sad part is, this makes me realize how much I've missed you being about. Hope this is the beginning of a wonderful habit!

[writing_samsara]

Oh, thanks so much for staying up to read and comment! I'm so happy that you enjoyed it.

I'm hoping the new habit will stick as well, although the ever-mounting pile of unchecked emails, work junk, bills, and things-that-must-be-cleaned grows. Dang real life.

Here's hoping, though....
