First Chapter = needing to read more chapters. )

Beautifull! I positively loved it!

I love ur story! u should continue it and make Jack and Elizabeth fall in love!

What the hell, I wanted to review this sooner but I was ill FOR THE WHOLE WEEK (which sucks) and couldn't get to the computer for more than sixty seconds (which sucks even more). So yeah. I wish I had reviewed this sooner.

You're back with POTC oneshots, eh? Good. This time though, it was a sad one. And let me tell you something: it was great. Because.. well, I don't think I ever read anything from you which had this style, I mean... the other one-shots had different themes, and your TDK fic isn't necessarily 'sad'.

But here, you dealt with the themes of sorrow, and the sense of loss, and you did it excellently. I, as a reader, could really feel the emotions you were trying to transmit - and really, REALLY, it's something difficult, to make the readers feel what you intend them to feel. It's like you're becoming a master of this kind of things ;)

And as always, the descriptions and characterization were perfect.

And the Batman Begins line? "Why do we fall, Bruce? (well, Elizabeth in this case)... so that we learn to pick ourselves up". That was a touch of greatness, my friend. ;)

Looking forward to your next work!

All my best,

Lovely story! Jack is such a sweetheart XD Did you hear PotC 4 is gonna be released July 8, 2011? Keep writing!

I was SO happy when I saw the you had posted this! :D It's wonderful to read a new story from you :]

I LOVED this! It's so beautifully written. All the details are amazing, it's so easy to picture everything and yet there is still room for imagination. I love the descriptions, how you describe the way the characters look like, how you describe the sand, Elizabeth's house, the sky... Each of these descriptions is like a gorgeous painting with the characters IN it. The atmosphere that you create through these descriprions is wonderful. Hope and sorrow entwined together, present in every word.

I also love how you captured (!) the passing of time. How it is clear in this story that it takes place so many years later and both Jack and Lizzie are simultaneously the same - and changed, especially Elizabeth by what happened to her. But also Jack, of course. You capture the melancholy, his sadness caused by losing her all these years ago so well. You make it possible to FEEL all the emotions that you describe and this is fantastic.

Their meeting was perfect. The immediate understanding of their need for both closeness in itself and for each other... The dialogue was wonderfully done - there were more emotions than words in it and I loved it.

"Jack could detect a certain sorrow within her eyes, a loss of something, or perhaps a longing for something." - I love how apart from telling Elizabeth's story you show her through Jack's eyes.

And the last scene! ! ! "“Why do we fall, Elizabeth?” he whispered lowly." - I think I stopped breathing when I read it, I SO wanted to hear his answer ^^ It was so beautifully written. The entire scene is just GORGEOUS, and the last sentence is BRILLIANT! What a wonderful way to end this one-shot. The final line couldn't have been more perfect.

Beautiful story! I loved! ! !

That was a really good story, lol it made me cry. I love the ending where Jack said "Why do we fall, to pick ourselves back up"
That is such a good line! I love it.
Good Job!
