this is a great fic! personally I prefer when it is Maturin who is wounded or captured... will Maturin be wounded or captured?

Looking forward for the rest!

This is excellent! Please don't give up on it, I don't know what I'll do...

Nice to see that this hasn't been abandoned... :)

Wow this is so great!Com'on you can't possibly stop now! This is one of the best stories I've ever read.

That French captain is just mean! He's got my blood boiling, like the rest of this story (except the story has my blood boiling in a good way!). You really, really must continue this. I'm in love!

Excellent job again with this. I'm impressed with the originality of your idea- I don't think I ever would've thought how the crew would survive without Jack, but it's certainly a very interesting experiment. I can't wait to see where you go next!

Verona

Another very exciting chapter! I was a bit confused at first because I wasn't sure if it took place before or after the prologue, but it was otherwise very good. You could do with a bit more description, I think, but your dialogue is excellent.

Verona

Wow. This is certainly off to a very, very intriguing start! I'd say more, but I've got to go keep reading!

Verona

This is really good. Interesting idea. Please update soon. :-)

"bullet would"

Doh! I meant bullet _wound_ of course ...

silly me ...

Oh hey, you updated! Please carry on with this. I've enjoyed what I've read so far - hurt/comfort addict that I am! *g*

Just one thing - isn't the bullet would in Jack's left arm, not his right?

Stephen needs a hug... this looks like the beginnings of another triumph from a ...well, Master.

Interesting. Very interesting! Keep going!

That's it, just tease us why don't you! What have you done to Captain Aubrey?

(BTW, I do love this story, I just want it finished)

Nice! I got a little confused at the part when Jack was in the French ship, but I got it. Use italics or astrics or something... But other than that, I love it! Stephen is sweet! You portray the characters very well!
