ZeldaQueen: Hey, everyone! I'm back, and look who I've got with me!
Link: I hate you
ZeldaQueen: That's a shame. Still, I have those LOZ badfics that I dug up, and you are such a popular Sue-magnet -
Link: Can we just get started?

Chapter 23: The Reunion
Kate’s Point of View
The romantic atmosphere shattered by my thoughts,
Link: What romantic atmosphere? It looks like you were just sitting and talking!
ZeldaQueen: That’s really creepy. Jones is going on about his grief over the loss of his former wife and child and she considers it romantic? Part of me suspects that Gethesemane has some horrible, horrible fetish and the other part is reminded of how Victoria loved to use Sweeney’s angsting over the loss of Lucy and Johanna as an excuse to be snuggly. It’s sickening
I quickly rose from Jones, careful not to betray any hint of what I had been thinking.
Link: Oh that’s easy, you never think anything
ZeldaQueen: Anything but sex sex sex is there sex yet? SEXXXXX!!!
He looked at me quizzically and as I made to turn, he grabbed my wrist.
ZeldaQueen: With his non-claw hand, I hope
Link: Why do you hope that? I’d love to read about the Sue losing a hand
ZeldaQueen: Yeah, but then she’d probably angst and use it as an excuse to have Jack and Davy Jones angst and wait on her and “comfort” her and all
Link: I see what you mean
“What’s wrong?” he asked.
“I shouldn’t be doing this,” I answered, my voice soft. “I love Jack.”
Link: …What?
ZeldaQueen: Okay, what of that previous scene implied that she was doing something romantic or affectionate or naughty with Jones? I mean, yeah he was hugging her because she went all Miss Empathy and started getting weepy, but seriously? This makes her feel like a slut and tonguing Jones to get the key instead of other means doesn’t? I…I don’t even…
I turned and hurried from the room before he had even opened his mouth. I felt torn. I was torn between my husband and the ruler of the seas.
ZeldaQueen: I dunno Link, do you think she feels torn?
Link: I’m hoping that she’ll be torn, preferably a new one
I had never intended for anything to develop between Davy Jones and me, and I resolved to put an end to it…even if that meant piercing his heart.
ZeldaQueen: I’m…rather at awe of how horrible this woman is
Link: Piercing the heart kills Jones, no?
ZeldaQueen: Correct
Link: And she’s not determined to do this to save Jack or free Bootstrap or help Will or Elizabeth?
ZeldaQueen: Right
Link: She just said she’d murder a guy if she had to, just because she is embarrassed that she is developing feelings for him?
ZeldaQueen: You’ve got it
Link: Fuck it, I need a drink
It was extremely late, and I presumed that dawn was not too far away.
Link: How long were they in there again? I don’t know what’s going on!
Silently slipping from the tiny quarters I’d been given, I crept past the sleeping crew, the only sounds being the noise of soft snoring of the nightmarish lot. I crept unseen up the stairs and onto the main deck.
Link: - of cards
In the misty light of the moon, I could see two of the crew standing at the stern, deep in
Link: butt sex
conversation. I was careful to conceal myself in the shadows, and as I crept closer to one of the masts, I accidentally pushed over a barrel.
Link: Donkey Kong would be proud
The watchmen turned and hurried towards my position. With baited
Link: - mouse traps
breath, I carefully moved deeper into the shadows until I was at length on the opposite side of the boat and fully out of their view.
Link: Well, that was pointless
Using a nearby rope for support, I climbed onto the banister and dived into the calm waters below.
Link: Hey, you going to help me out here?
ZeldaQueen: What do you want me to say?
Link: Something sarcastic, maybe?
ZeldaQueen: I can’t! I…I can’t think of any way to make this funny! I’m just in awe at how useless this thing is! She just jumped off of the ship? Jones just let her run out and climb off of the ship like that? Wasn’t she supposed to be locked in the brig? Why would Jones let her just wander around the ship at night WHILE SHE’S HIS FUCKING PRISONER? Why wouldn’t he go out and see where she went? Wouldn’t he be more wary of her than ever, since she escaped before? I…GODDAMMIT I HATE THIS FIC! *sobs*
It was a short distance to the Pearl, and I quietly scaled the side of the hull.
ZeldaQueen: THIS MAKES NO SENSE! DID SHE WALK THERE? WHY IS THE PEARL CONVENIENTLY NEXT TO THE FLYING DUTCHMAN?
Link: You really need to calm down
ZeldaQueen: YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!
Upon reaching the deck, I glanced up to the helm and smiled. His silhouette was unmistakable in the moonlight, for the beads in his hair shimmered lightly in the beams.
Link: It was Elton John
“Who’s there?” he demanded, looking about the deck of the ship.
ZeldaQueen: (Jack) “Bloody Hell, don’t tell me we still haven’t gotten rid of that blasted Sue!”
He came down to the main deck, though I didn’t at all move. Instead I stood in full view, and his deep, chocolate eyes widened upon seeing me.
ZeldaQueen: This one’s for you, Mervin
“Kate!” he gasped.
I ran into his arms, throwing my arms around his neck. Tears were streaming freely down my cheeks as I felt him embrace me tightly.
“Thank God,” I sighed. “You’re all right.”
ZeldaQueen: Link?
Link: Hmm?
ZeldaQueen: Do you find this the least bit interesting?
Link: No
ZeldaQueen: Oh good, I thought it was just me
He kissed me passionately, pressing me close against his body. We kissed as if we had not seen one another in years…which we hadn’t.
ZeldaQueen: . . .
Link: What?
ZeldaQueen: . . .
Link: Wasn’t it that they only had three days to…and how long does the Suethor think…and… *trails off*
ZeldaQueen: I’m sorry folks, but if that honestly means what it seems to, the idiocy just made my brain die
“When I heard that Jones had captured you, I didn’t know if you were still alive,” he said softly. “I was terrified that I’d never see you again.”
ZeldaQueen: We, on the other hand, danced for joy
I smiled. “Everything’s all right now, Jack.”
He shook his head. “No, everything isn’t all right. Jones’ll be looking for me, and possibly for you.”
Link: Oh yes, let’s just tack her on there! I mean, it’s not like Jack is fighting to not be dragged to Hell, oh no!
At this, tears filled my eyes once again, but it wasn’t from joy. “I’m so sorry, Jack. I tried to-”
ZeldaQueen: (Kate) “ - Whore myself out to Jones”
“Shh,” he whispered. “You’re here, and you’re safe. That’s all that matters.”
Link: Something tells me that the Suethor was directing that line to her readers as well
“I tried to bargain,” I continued, my voice soft. “I tried to barter your soul for mine, but he didn’t take the deal.”
“I know,” he said with a soft sigh.
ZeldaQueen: NO DUH, HE KNEW! HE KNEW IN THE MOVIE! IT WAS ONLY EVER SUPPOSED TO BUY HIM TIME!
“What are we going to do?” I asked him, caressing his bearded face with my fingertips.
Link: (Jack) “We are going to do nothing. I am going to find the key to the chest and stab the heart. You are going to be locked in your bedroom, since all you ever do is wander off and get into trouble”
ZeldaQueen: Wait a second, you’re right! Kate ought to have the key! What does she mean “What are we going to do”? She has the fucking key! How about finding the chest and stabbing the heart, you idiot? That’s what you said you’d do to Jones just a paragraph or so back!
“We’re going to have to find his heart,” he answered. “We can call off the Kraken, and kill him if it should come to that.”
Link: Thank you
ZeldaQueen: Huh, I guess it took the Man to figure it out. We all know wimmuns are distraught, emotional creatures who should just be petted and cuddled while the Menfolk figure out important things
I bit my lower lip to stem the tide of tears that were beginning to well in my eyes again.
ZeldaQueen: The purple, it blinds us!
I couldn’t lose Jack…not when I had found him again.
Link: *is steadily getting drunk on Chateau Romani*
Later, as we lay together in bed, I rested my head on his bare chest, the sweet scent of sea and rum filling my senses.
ZeldaQueen: Of course, saving yourself can wait. There’s sex to be had!
My feelings for Jones had seemed to disappear in the haze of passion, and now I no longer cared for anyone but Jack.
Link: That’s a nice way of describing it, you little whore
ZeldaQueen: The Suethor does her best to try to dress it up nicely. There’s pretty much no denying it, she’s a slut
I sighed as I nestled against him, and felt him run his fingers through my hair. I then fell asleep, feeling safe and content for the first time in two days.
Link: Thank the goddesses!
ZeldaQueen: Hold it, I got you for two chapters of sporking
Link: *indecipherable noise of fury*
ZeldaQueen: You’re welcome
