ZeldaQueen: Hello everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long since the last update, but I needed a little time to recover. Mervin's sporking was a tough act to follow, and this upcoming chapter really got me angry. Before we begin, I'd like to point out a bit of fridge horror, regarding the sex scene. First of all, Gethesemane apparently based that on a dream she had. Uhhhhhh yeah. Second of all, she only didn't post it for all the internet to see because she thought it would bother her Kate/Sparrow shippers. Not, you know, that she figured hentai harlequin sex would bother most people. But that leads to point three - I found the sex scene on her DA account and read all of the comments. They all went on about how marvelous it was. I think the best was the person who wrote "That part was sexy and sad at the same time". I can only assume that she chalked up anyone who pointed out the squick to being "flamers" and deleted them. So yeah. That nightmare's over, so onward to Act Two of this fic!

Chapter 16
Katherine
It had been still night when I left the haunted ship. I felt disgraced, almost dirty,
ZeldaQueen: Almost dirty? After that licking down, God alone knows how long it will take for you to wipe the slime out of your...never mind
but not used. I knew what I had done was immoral and unjustified. I had known that every touch, every kiss that Davy and I shared was wrong. I had gone to him to tell him of what I knew, not to hurt him. But I knew that I had hurt us both. I had shamed us both. I had lost what remained of my dignity, my honor. I was no better than a whore.
ZeldaQueen: *examines nails* Are you done here? Or do you want to scratch out another tune on the World's Smallest Violin? Because sweetie, I know that Sin Thine Ass Off routine. It's been used by countless Suethors, especially Stephenie Meyer. It doesn't make me feel sorry for poor little you. It makes me agree and feel infuriated that there are no negative consequences
I came to the deck of the Pearl just as a cold light began to caress the horizon. No one was on deck; I had not been missed. I crept down below deck, which was still filled with the snores of the crew, and neared the door to the cabin I had used before moving into the captain's quarters with Jack. I could not go back to our bed a pure woman; I couldn't bear to face my husband knowing that I had betrayed him.
ZeldaQueen: You know, I find it odd that she keeps going on about how she's "a pure woman" and so on while she's a frigging pirate. I mean, I know the time period and all, but pirates didn't stick to social norms like that. So why's she wandering around, angsting like someone who hasn't actually engaged in piracy before?
"Where have you been, Kate?" I started and turned to find my uncle standing behind me, eyeing me with vague suspicion.
ZeldaQueen: (Barbossa) "And why do your clothes smell like low tide?"
Davy Jones
ZeldaQueen: \~/
I had watched as Katherine left, yet made no attempt to bring her back to my bed. It was difficult; every instinct screamed for me to take her again.
ZeldaQueen: *coldly* When you're quite done wanking, Gethesemane
I had seen the tears in her eyes as she left. She was hurting; so was I. I had been wrong to act upon my desires; I should have restrained myself and never even so much as kissed her.
ZeldaQueen: Because those silly wimmuns have no self control at all. They just need their Man to be strong and keep their ridiculous libidos in check
But I did. I had wanted her since we shared our first kiss on the deck of my ship months before. I had dreamt of her so many times. I had known that what we had done was adulterous, that it would jeopardize her marriage.
ZeldaQueen: Question! With all of the things going on - Calypso, Becket, the killing of the pirates, the Brethren, and so on and so forth - why is the big issue here whether or not Kate's marriage is going to last? Ah yes, the answer is simple. Because that's the sole focus of this fic. It's nothing more than for Gethesemane to wank over how she is married to Sparrow and scored with Jones via her self insert. Okay, carry on!
Yet for those few hours, I didn't care. All I knew was that she had been mine, that I was the one to explore every soft, supple curve.
ZeldaQueen: GETHESEMANE! HANDS OUT OF YOUR PANTS!!!
I cursed as I dressed. I had ruined myself too much to care what would happen to me, but I knew that I had put Kate in danger. I hadn't intended to do it.
ZeldaQueen: This is ungodly boring, I'm sorry. I've just grown numb to it all
My thoughts wandered to what she had told me. Calypso had brought her uncle back from the dead so that he could release her...to murder Kate. Calypso knew that Sirena was inside Kate's body.
ZeldaQueen: ..Dude, you only just figured that out now?
I looked at the door. Perhaps I should pay a visit...
ZeldaQueen: *sighs* Lovely. I sense Gethesemane setting up to sink canon's ship
Katherine
ZeldaQueen: \~/
"I highly doubt you were gone for a walk, lass," said my uncle a short time later when he had taken me into his cabin. "Unless you went for a walk and had a good cry as well?"
ZeldaQueen: Um, plenty of people take walks when they need a good cry. What I'd be asking is where she disappeared to for several hours in the middle of the night
"What?"
"When I found you, your eyes were red and I could see tear tracks on your face.
ZeldaQueen: Barbossa Holmes - Private Investigator Extrordinare!
What really happened? And don't you lie to me; I've known you since you were a baby."
ZeldaQueen: So a pirate has been looking after his niece since infancy? That's stupid
I could feel my heart racing, my eyes beginning to burn once more. I had no choice but to tell him.
ZeldaQueen: Um, no, you don't have "no choice". You can tell him it's private and that it's none of his damned business what you were doing. You could just say you had to get a breath of fresh air because you were stressed. All this sounds like is a cheap reason for you to confess to your affair so that he can pat you on the back and tell you it totally wasn't your fault!
"Something happened to me," I said softly. "Aboard the Dutchman."
"What? What happened?"
ZeldaQueen: (Barbossa) "How did you get over there? Don't tell me you suddenly got the ability to fly"
I lowered my head in shame. "I...I slept with Davy Jones."
His face was expressionless, yet his eyes were full of disappointment and surprise.
ZeldaQueen: And his prose was full of purple
"Did...did he rape you?"
ZeldaQueen: *headdesk*
"No."
I could feel his eyes upon me, burning.
ZeldaQueen: That's...got to be really uncomfortable
"I had gone to his ship to talk to him. Then we kissed, and it all happened so fast that I...I couldn't stop."
ZeldaQueen: Oh yes, you poor, weak-willed wimmuns! For God's sake, you're a pirate! Act like one!
I looked up at him through a veil of tears.
ZeldaQueen: *rolls eyes* Oh poor Kate! Whatever shall she do? Angels weep upon her!
"I lost control."
ZeldaQueen: (Kate) "I peed all over him!"
I'm so sorry
His face remained set in stone.
ZeldaQueen: And I bashed it in with a mallet
"I won't tell Jack," he said presently. "I won't get involved. You two are married adults; you need to fight your own battles."
ZeldaQueen: Which is why he lead her to her bedroom, probably by the hand, and sat her down and asked her to tell him where she went, like he was her daddy.
And as if Barbossa would resist hitting Jack where it hurt like that. Oy
Davy Jones
ZeldaQueen: STOP CHANGING THE POINT OF VIEW! \~/
I stood in the brig of the Pearl, scanning the darkness. My eyes finally came to rest upon a single figure, sitting in a dimly lit cell. The familiar melody of Sirena's locket pierced the silence.
The dark-skinned woman who held it looked up at me, and smiled. I could have never been more angry than to see her holding that locket...that she had taken as a prize from my dead wife's throat.
ZeldaQueen: So just take it back, you idiot. She's human, you're a giant fish-dude with a pistol and a sword. Just take care of her now, for heaven's sake! And folks, get ready. This is just one long scene of Gethesemane taking a lovely bit of the movie which showed nicely how relationships aren't always perfect and pure even if the two people really do love each other, and rewrote it to have the exact opposite meaning \~/\~/\~/
"My sweet," she said softly. "You've come for me."
"You've been expecting me?" I asked as I stepped towards her.
ZeldaQueen: "Of course," said Calypso. "All fics written by this idiot are too predictable"
At that moment, Will and Elizabeth leaped out of the shadows and shanked the Davy Jones doppleganger. He screamed and evaporated into ether.
"Brilliant," said Will. "Now all we have to do is kill that bloody Mary Sue"
My voice was dark and cold, as I had intended it to be.
ZeldaQueen: I know, right? I mean, I usually assume that a character intends for their voice to be a certain way unless specified otherwise. Gethesemane's so meticulous though, she is sure to tell us that a character is keeping their voice the way they want it, even though there's no reason to think otherwise.
I'm very unhappy
"It's been torture," she sighed. "Trapped in this single form, cut off from the sea. From all that I love. From you."
ZeldaQueen: ...Just keep that line in mind for the end, okay?
My anger rose, yet I concealed it in fear of making a disturbance.
ZeldaQueen: That works about as well as saying that Bree was only faking being scared, Gethesemane
"For a century I have lived in this hellish prison that you placed me in," I hissed. "Ten years, I looked after those who had died at sea in the vain hope that perhaps I would find Sirena's soul and we would be together again. But you made damn sure that I would never be able to find her, didn't you? When you cursed her soul to eternal unrest along with my own curse!"
ZeldaQueen: Wait, what? How does that work? Even if he did ferry the souls to the afterlife, he himself couldn't follow. And if he is so desperate to die and be reunited with Sirena, why not just stab the freaking heart? \~/
"Sirena brought her death upon herself!" Calypso said with a venomous whisper. "She knew better than to evoke the wrath of a goddess!"
ZeldaQueen: Yes, butting into a fandom is a death-worthy crime in my opinion \~/
"Sirena was innocent!" I cried. "You killed her and my five-year-old son because you were mad with jealousy! She was a mortal, not a threat to a goddess. Yet you killed her in cold blood. How many more people must die as a result of your envy?"
ZeldaQueen: You know, Gethesemane doesn't get the point of Calypso at all, does she? Calypso was an ancient, pagan goddess. She was a physical manifestation of the sea. The point of her character, which every single pirate knew, including Davy Jones, was that the sea was harsh and untamable and could be extremely cruel, but also was powerful and awe-inspiring and allowed freedom to them. Saying to Calypso "Bluhhhhh you're such an unfair meanie!" is like saying that it's unfair of the ocean to drown people. Yes it's unfair, but that's the freaking point! It's a powerful force that's beyond the judgement of humans \~/
"Why did you come?" she demanded. "To scorn me as you had before?"
ZeldaQueen: No Calypso, he came because the Suethor wants to wank over how he totally loves her Kate and doesn't care for his canon love interest at all
I didn't answer, but instead said, "What fate do you have planned for your captors?"
ZeldaQueen: Can anyone keep track of the conversation? At all?
"The Brethren Court...all of them! The last thing they, including your precious Katherine, will learn in this life is how cruel I can be. I don't care if Kate is with child; she must die!"
ZeldaQueen: (Calypso) "And your little dog Toto too!"
Seriously, this just sounds petty
"What?" I gasped. She smiled. "Ah. You didn't know that your love is pregnant with her husband's child?" "I...I had my suspicion."
ZeldaQueen: (Jones) "Just one suspicion, mind you. I wouldn't go as far as to have multiple suspicions"
"Yet you seemed shocked. Did you want to father her child, Davy Jones? Did you want her to be your wife?" "I never intended it to go this far," I snapped.
ZeldaQueen: Erm, was there ever a plot here that went beyond who Kate was sleeping with? No, of course not. Carry on \~/
"Yet it did go far, didn't it? Much further!" she hissed. "I know that you and Katherine have slept together." I didn't deny it; I couldn't deny what I had done to Katherine.
ZeldaQueen: Yeah, harlequin tentacle sex is pretty hard to ignore
"And to think that she loves you," she continued, "yet she's too ashamed to admit it." "She doesn't love me!" I growled.
ZeldaQueen: No, the Suethor lusts after you. Difference
"Oh, she does, but she could never make you happy, could she?" I was silent. "She is married and carrying a child," she continued. "She could give you nothing!"
ZeldaQueen: Yes, because that's all women are good for. Once they're pregnant and married, they can't offer any other men anything else. Bite me \~/
It pained me to hear the truth; I had wished so many times that Katherine had been mine instead of Jack's.
ZeldaQueen: WHEN? \~/
But had I gotten more out of my deal with Jack than I had originally thought? I had had his wife. Surely that was enough to repay his debt. No. No, I didn't think of her as payment of a blood debt. He still owed his soul. He still had a debt.
ZeldaQueen: Oh, so we finally remember that Jack and Davy Jones did have their debt? And what is it with Kate and her children that makes everyone so obsessed over them? This is starting to remind me of Taren Wanderer, where the two lords keep bickering over the ownership of a prize cow that always produces the best milk and always has twin calves which are as good as her in quality
"I could make you happy," Calypso said sweetly.
I glared darkly. "No, you couldn't," I hissed.
ZeldaQueen: (Davy Jones) "Gethesemane won't allow it"
"You've murdered my wife and son, taken everything that I love away from me. You deserve to rot in hell!"
ZeldaQueen: What did I tell you? Gethesemane, stop using Davy Jones as a mouthpiece. It's tasteless
"You broke your end of the bargain!" she countered. "I gave you power and infamy, and in turn you were to give me your heart. Yet you gave it to her!" She rose to her feet. "You loved me," she whispered, her voice trembling in angry passion. "Before Sirena, you loved me."
I shook my head. "No, Calypso. My heart has never belonged to you."
ZeldaQueen: I hate you. That's one of my biggest things, twisting canon to suit the desires of the Suethor \~/
She looked at me pleadingly, yet angrily, but I felt nothing. I had finally said what needed to be said. I melted into the darkness, turning my back to her.
ZeldaQueen: What was the point of that chapter? He doesn't convince her to leave Kate alone or anything. All he does is continue to repeat how he totally loves Gethesemane's self-insert Sues and never ever loved Calypso...never mind. Gah \~/
(Author's Note: I'm sorry this chapter is kind of short; it was four pages long when I wrote it on paper... Yes, some of the dialogue between Calypso and Davy Jones was taken from AWE. I used creative license.)
ZeldaQueen: NO, YOU BASTARDIZED IT TO SUIT YOUR STUPID SUE SHIP! The purpose of that scene was supposed to show that Jones and Calypso loved each other, but couldn't show it for each other, and you took the words and ripped out their meaning and - GAH! I'm very cross
