:( such a good piece, but so terribly sad and emotional.

good job. nothing else to say when it comes to this.

That was sad. :(

Stutley Constable suggested I have a look at some of your fics, and I am pleased I did. This says a lot in a short space, about freedom, choice and restrictions. Nicely penned,

Mrs P:)

That was great! So sad, but you captured them perfectly. I teared up a little, but I'm a die-hard Sparrabeth fan!

luv,

Aw, a slightly angsty yet powerful fic. I like it ]

Wow... I think I get it... But then again, you don't have to. It is beautiful, anyway, Pirate. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Well, PoFS, you know me. This is a little on the mushy side for my personal taste. Naturally I'm not your target audience. That said; I still think you did a good job. I can see where the ladies would like this with all those unvoiced emotions going.

well, what can i say...

ok, I do find quite a logic in your story: assuming Will is the third person, i can see why he cut her wings, cause...one day every ten years, totally a dream marriage :DD and the fact that both their last names go by the birds is also an epiphany that came not without a coincidence in the films (i hope), so good job noticing...

overall, short, deep, simple, right-on-target.

Kiss me I love it :D

P.S.: yeah, i was thinking about a comment, but was a little too lazy, but your message came in time, so i felt a little guilty about my laziness and...well, here's the comment. Everyone's happy :DD

Oh this is simply beautiful. So incredibly thoughtful. Well done!

I only have one word, wow. It's so deep and, I dunno, pensive. Lovely drabble!

Sad. o'

Amazing,

Assuming that the third character is Will, I found your story very true , Will didn't let Lizzie think about his proposal during AWE, I thougth she accept to marry him cause they maybe would die

Will give her his chest and let her enslave about this duty, he never let her free

Really good story, form me it's perfectilly in character

This is very well written, and emotional, but the mentioned third character is rather out of character.

Assuming that the third character is Will, I'm not sure where he is somehow stealing Elizabeth's much-vaunted "freedom." In canon, Will is the only one who ever truly let her be herself. He never told her what to do, she fought by his side as an equal where he expected her to carry her own weight, he taught her to fight so that she could take care of herself, a highly radical idea in their day. He was practically eaten up with pride in her as the Pirate King, willingly putting himself under her authority.

The only other bonds are of marriage, which she entered into willingly by insisting Barbossa marry them, after Will told her that he'd made his choice and what was hers. She could have refused. For her to regret it now makes her rather foolish, or at the very least not understanding what it is that marriage entails.

Again, I'm basing my response on the idea that the unnamed "he" is Will, and that this is set after AWE. If not, all bets are off.

Amazing.
