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.

No. And I never assumed that it was Jack either, although I do think they tried to imply that. I think from everything that was said, though, it was implied that Tia/Calypso didn't have feelings as strong as Davy's and because of that she broke his heart which led to the curse, etc. So, I think it's safe to say that at some point she was unfaithful with someone.

That's the question that I have, as well. I remember everyone assuming that the heart being ripped out part wouldn't be forced on Will. I'm not sure how or why that ties in, especially considering that Davy ripped his out. *shrugs* Aw well, at least it's in safe hands. Hehe. Hopefully.
