Very sweet story. I liked the three perceptions and the resolution.

love your story

I don't know why you said you weren't very happy with this in your A/N. I thought it was great! I've never seen a story that's addressed Will's return home in this manner, but it does make sense. All three perspectives that you provided were very believable. The descriptions of Will and Young Will's emotions in the first two parts were heart-wrenching, which just made their "breakthrough" all the more satisfying. Good job! :-)

I loved your take on the reunion! =) You should keep on writing it!
Do not despair about the curse...the Q&A sheet was not written by TnT and was not released worldwide either. TnT have said that anything could happen in the Pirates world. If Barbossa could beat death, the hardest thing to undo, why not the Captain of the Flying Dutchman? DJ had no reason to believe in life again, Will certainly has...and the last time Liz said "I'll wait for you"...she didn't exactly stay in that cell, right? She did wait for him but not idle-handed. So, yes, I do believe they beat the curse together and got to spend their lives as mortals till death did them apart. =)

Oh please, write more of this story! I adore your style and ability to tell a fantastic tale, and your perspective of this family is refreshing. I hope you do continue this eventually.
Thank you for the three chapters you have done. I treasure them!

Aww! I loved the different take on the reunion, and how you really got into the emotions that were running through their heads, especially Will's need to feel useful. "Listen to the tool", after all! And finally some fluffiness at the end :)

Oh very good. I like the way you got into everyones thoughts. Things are never as simple as we would like. I enjoyed this. Keep it up.

This is beautiful. I love it. This feeling of uneasiness and insecurity seems much more probable.

I really liked how you showed that no everthing was going to be perfect for them!
And the curse IS over, writers said after the movie ( they published it in ther web site) that the curse would only last 10 years, and then Will would be free.

"- Pretty much everything in the movie that would have made it clear that Will's curse was broken at the end, as was the intention, was inexplicably edited out. Most notably, a scene with Tia Dalma and Davy Jones that actually explains that the curse can be broken. The only indication really left in the movie to allow a person to figure out that Will's curse was broken was the flash of green in the final scene, which was symbolic of Will's soul returning/him being brought back to life again/returning from undeath.

That was amazing! It's so realistic, the awkwardness between Will and young Will... Great job!

Ah, how I love you.

Let me count the ways.

Hahaha...oh man. I should be doing my art history paper. Oopse.

YES!

Leave it to Di to write things that are believable! The raw humanistic thoughts of little Will are absolutely realistic and wonderful!

Finally a reunion story with some TRUTH behind it. Something DIFFERENT!

YES! I love you.

Bravo...again. As always. Yeh.

Gosh Diane, your writing is excellent!! Just loved it! I want more from you! :D

I love the fact that this is so realistic. The emotions they all would have are reflected perfectly in your characters. Please update soon!
