Oh, the angst!
Brilliantly written. I imagine this was exactly how James must have felt while aboard the Pearl with his beloved Elizabeth.

so sad, so lovely. poor norry, he never stood a chance, but he puts up a good front. great writing!

Very well-written. Just the right balance between romance and pain..gah. Such a satisfying sadness.

Keep writing [especially for this great pairing!!].

This was an awesome pairing, and great story. Your detail is so greatly appreciated! I almost cried reading some of it, but overall it was great.

Aggh... so sad. *wipes away tears* Lovely and bittersweet and painfully beautiful. I loved it.

A tad depressing, perhaps, but well-written, and interesting. There should be more like it out there.

Beautifully written. You stayed true to Norrington's character and only very slightly went out of character with Elizabeth. It is a sad ending, but such is the life of our beloved former Commodore. Well done, luv.

Cheers

Excellent! Some beautiful imagery.

One little quibble... I am not sure what you meant by
"He feared he would either overcome her or"

Did you mean overwhelm?

No doubt the person I share this account with is getting mad at me, filling up our Favorites list with stories about Norrington, but I can't help it if they're amazing. Particularly yours. Very, very well done.
