Drabble Prompt 5 for potc_dogwatch
Title: Open Water
Rating: G
Disclaimer: This one’s a toss-up; he may belong to Buena Vista and Bruckheimer, after all.
Summary: A Turner goes to sea
Spoilers for AWE: Most probably.


Each night, he’d fallen asleep to the box’s steady thrumming. It had been constant for seven years, since he traded the heartbeat of his womb for the reassuring wooden thunk of his father’s next to his small bed.

Now it swayed with him on the vast ocean. Mama said he couldn’t be harmed upon the sea. It had been simple to cast offshore in the rowboat while she and Captain Jack slept – to be free, like Mama wanted to be.

William ran a small hand over the top of the chest as he excitedly waited to meet Papa, at last.

Geez, I'm commenting a lot. You see, you start me on an interesting topic and there's no stopping me.

What you said is basically the reason that I don't want to go near KTTC after AWE is released. I've heard enough horrid things about Will by JE fans (why don't we just throw him overboard? who would care? <--GR!) that I don't want to think about what bitter JE fans are going to say when they don't get their way.

And just to keep this from being viewed as bashing, this is just a few specific fans that I'm talking about. I'm in now way generalizing or referring to the entire JE fanbase with what I said.

I'm in no way generalizing or referring to the entire JE fanbase with what I said.

I'm a catty bitch to the ones who annoy me. I mean, I'm just a catty bitch generally, but I think the ones who take great offense are the ones who NEED to. Everyone else just ignores it or rolls their eyes. "There she goes again" I hope they say.

So am I actually. I just thought for a second that I was posting at turningpirate and I know that there's been issues with the JE fanbase, so I didn't want to start anything. I do have a tendency to do that, or at least to want to do that.

Believe me, I appreciate the distinction. Sometimes it's hard to talk out of both sides of my mouth, too ...

Haha. That's exactly what it feels like. Like I don't want to cause problems but sometimes I'd really just love to bitch at all of the stupid fans.
