Why not J/W?

[veronica_rich]

Who besides me thinks that AWE should've turned out J/W and taken advantage of all that lovely sexual tension between the boys throughout all three movies? (After all, that's the way the series really SHOULD have turned out. My God, look at the merchandise alone bearing J and W together for the past three and a half years.)

C'mon, ladies (are there any men? don't want to discriminate on my f-list). List in the comments all those moments J/W just *clicked* and made a great argument for them sailing off in to the sunset together. I expect everyone to have fun with this.

Obviously, spoilers within ...

ETA: Sort of random, but I have several old posts I need to reply to comments. I've been terribly lazy, working more than anything the past couple of weeks, but I hope to get to some of those tomorrow. *hands head*

I think I've said this before somewhere - here possibly! - that I love the fight scene in the forge in CotBP, but especially just before they get started when Will says "You threatened Miss Swann" and Jack says "Only a little" - and he runs his sword teasingly down the length of Will's *grin* I can remember my slash radar going *PING!* very loudly at that moment the first time I saw the movie, and from then on it was Jack/Will for me all the way :-)

But their relationship through all three of the movies is oddly affectionate anyway. Jack treats Will with a kind of mischievous affection and tolerance that he doesn't show to anyone else except, perhaps, Elizabeth (although I think he's noticeably warier of her for a number of reasons). And however annoyed by Jack he becomes, Will is always prepared to talk to him and discuss things and reluctantly put a certain amount of trust in him yet again. I think if it weren't for cursed pirates, sea monsters, Flying Dutchmen, Becketts, more pirates and disenfranchised sea goddesses, the pair of them could probably enjoy a few bottles of rum together in a suitably disreputable tavern. I think Will would enjoy Jack's tall stories and Jack would enjoy having Will for an audience, and who knows what they might get up to once Will's inhibitions were disposed of?!
