Drabble Prompt 02 for [livejournal.com profile] potc_dogwatch
Title: Swords
Rating: G
Disclaimer: One belongs to Buena Vista and Bruckheimer; the other, to [livejournal.com profile] tanith75
Summary: Inspired by [livejournal.com profile] tanith75’s story Pretend (J/E, but sideline to a portrayal of Will). I love the idea of Will!worship by the next generation.
Spoilers for AWE: Probably. Definitely based on speculation.


When the storm hits, he’s first in the rigging. Others fear the gale he welcomes. He has seen The Ferryman, grown up with His merciful specter woven into lullabies from both parents.

The ship lists heavily, and he releases the sail to plunge feetfirst into black waves.

When he comes to, he is starstruck by his first real pirate yet again. “You are neither dead nor dying,” the captain observes, helping him up.

Jackson Sparrow stammers, betraying his fifteen years. “I w-want to learn the sword.”

“Here?”

“Da says you’re the best.”

He snorts, though fondly. “As well he ought.”

Oh my gosh, you have no idea how flattered I am you liked my portrayal of Will worship (hehe borrowing your phrase) enough to inspire you to write this. It makes me squee :)

Loved this,

“Da says you’re the best.”

He snorts, though fondly. “As well he ought.”

Yes Will did enjoy besting Jack, didn't he.

Wonderful drabble, my dear :)

Hey, I figure if Jack gets the girl in this one, the least he can do is give Will proper credit. >:-D

Glad you like. Well-written Will is always worth reading.

Yeah, he can give Will his "props" so to speak. But seriously, I love this.
