Absolutely breathtaking. I adore your interpretation of Calypso, your portrayal of her bittersweet longings, her simultaneous warmth and remote coldness, an your powerful, poignant conclusion. Brilliant.

This was fabulous! Your in depth description of his love for the sea was gorgeous and evocative. I grew up living near the sea ever summer since I was a babe, and what you wrote totally rings true. It was really good!

This is EXCELLENT. So poetic. You described everything perfectly. Thus is one of the few fanfics on this site that gets BETTER with every reading! Fantastic job!

I always liked the curse of the black pearl best because of its solid plot, characterizations, and humour filled moments.

The second and third movies I found disappointing, the plots were poor, character development wasn't taken any further, and the commedy was too forced and overdone to be funny.

Reading this story however, has given me a glimpse of what the writers only hinted at in the movies, the intimate and stormy relationship between the sea and its sailors. Your portrayal of the relationship between Davy Jones and Calypso was beautifully, flawlessly written. You used just the right combination of descriptive phrases, and powerful imagery to show your readers the true depth, passion, courage, playfulness, and deep understanding shared by these two characters.

I especially loved this paragraph, because it described so well the tragedy of Calypso's unfulfilled longing, and her wild elemental nature.

He had driven her to such wildness, to such frustration, because she had no arms to hold him. She had no limbs with which to grasp him or hands to touch

him, fingers to explore him or eyes to bewitch him. She could not seize him as a prize or as a lover. An ever-thirsting ocean, she could not take her fill

of him. Though she could reflect him, she could keep no part of him unless she deigned to destroy his crusading spirit and unquenchable soul and accept

him as drowned corpse. She could feel want and greed as his gliding fingers leapt and touched upon her waves, but she could never warm him. She could only

break around him, shattered by the touch of him. And as much as he could never hope to capture or tame her, in turn she would never be able to restrain

him or impress her ardent lovers’ marks upon him. Cold and wild, she possessed all his love, but her kiss could not heat his skin or blood. Ferocious and

pitiful, she could only dissolve and leave salt traces when she most needed to seek him, cling to him, storm within him, and soar beside him.

An excellent enjoyable read.

Very interesting! I really like this idea of what might have been the beginning of their relationship. Your writing is so very poetic and smooth. I really do appreciate it. I too was interested in their back story. They express so much emotion for a sub-plot, and you really have captured it. Thanks!

Beautiful. I loved the way you wrote about the connection between the two of them, although I am a little confused by how Calypso got a human body-especially after you stated a little while before that she tried to kill Davy *because* she had no arms with which to hold him?

Anyway. I enjoyed this, thanks for sharing. )

Wow.

That was great!

You managed to portray them both as if you were actually they, which is no easy feat. The feeling in your story was amazing as well.

Wow. That was amazing! And I certainly wouldn't call it short! I'm a Davy/Calypso fan myself, and this is just beautiful, absolutely brilliant. Your writing is so poetic and vivid, and you captured both their spirits wonderfully; I'm almost at a loss for words. Great, great job, well done!
