Wow, this story is good. Some of them go along well with the DMC which makes me wonder whether you know some of the information before. Anyway, I enjoy it a lot and marvel at stubbornness of James. I love the line of "I am rooting for you" which was in the DMC as well.

I am adding this story in my favourite stories list and looking forward for you to write more POTC.

'Sparrow practically giggled at him'-now THAT I'd pay to see...so funny, and the three legged donkeys flying through hell...thats some imagery.

This is a great fiction...it's so wierd...did you know that it's rumoured that in the 3rd pirates film, Norrington leaves/is kicked out of the Navy, and turns up in Tortuga with a mind to go after the treasure of Isle da meurte...sorry I got carried away, but he supposedly turns up in tortuga looking for the lovely Capt. Sparrow! Is it just coincidence or did you know this rumour?

Anyway...this is good. Congrats!

This was lots of fun - Norrington has recenyly become my favorite character - thanks for writing such a good story!

::smiles:: Beautifully done. Hooray for Norrington! Your portrayal of Norrington and Jack is wonderful, and I love the ending. Reading this made me very happy. _

Great story, Norringtons perfect keep it up

Oh, this is so GOOD! (I heard about it on the NDL) I love it! Is there more? You've captured Norrington PERFECTLY... *adds story to favs*

Nice dramatic tension...there's an old writer's "how to" that says, put your character up a tree, then throw rocks at him. Well, Norrington's up a tree, there's a rabid raccoon on the branch with him, and somebody's taking a chainsaw to the trunk. Well done!

That was really good ;; Everyone else pretty much already said everything...

Aww, it's all touchy-feely like. I enjoyed it very much. I wish I could still write. My vocabulary's going down the drain. I really should brush up on a few of those big words, but ever since I stopped taking English classes my writing's been so primitive. Sad, really. Anyway, I thought it was lovely, I read the whole thing. Poor James. It was very cute, and you did a wonderful job. I didn't know you could write that well, or maybe I'd just forgotten. I think you wrote a really nice Sands fic awhile back that I really liked, but I can't remember.

Oh, lovely story.
Poor Norrington - although its nice he got a little luck in the end.
Oh yeah - write some more - wont James meet Jack again?

Very well written, I really enjoyed this a lot. You have a good grasp of Norrington, and, a great way of writing Jack so he sounds bloody right. I hate stories with Jack where he sounds like the Duke of Wellington, or, a redneck. Either one. But this, I liked a lot.

I can't say I don't enjoy my share of slash, but it's really nice to read a good introspective story now and again, where we get a chance to look at the psychology behind the characters. Well-written, funny, and credible. Altogether, very nicely done.
(Anyway, IMHO, there is more affection in the line "the pirate briefly ran his fingers through Norrington’s hair as though he were a child" than in any fifty-page smutfest.)

That was such a lovely story. I loved the way you wrote James' lonelyness and his stupid pride. Overall I liked the way you portrayed him.
