A fool for love.

If only that was how history would paint me. He knew better than to expect reprieve from the surviving progeny of terrified seamen and damned ocean travelers, left behind scribbling on parchment and whispering fiercely into grimy ears on dark wharves the terrifying monstrosity of Davy Jones’s reign.

It wasn’t the sucking inward spiral of collapse in his breast making him shrink in pain. It was the lad, not unlike the once-young sailor David, also breathing his last. Turner had two who sacrificed for him.

Jones had been unable to rely upon only one.

“Calypso …”

This got me once again thinking how terribly futile Davy's act of cutting out his heart really was.

I mean, it did next to nothing to ease the pain he did it for in the first place, and he was walking at the end of the leash held by the one he loved, (or loves...)the very leash he tried to cut in the first place, so he basically ended up with all the problems he had before, and then some and a load.

I love the angsty tentacle-face for being such a tragic and dramatic figure. Endless hours of angsty fun :)

Thanks for using Davy for this prompt, and for doing it so well. He deserves it.

I always thought it was interesting that Will recognized he might've cut it out after he betrayed Calypso instead of after he felt she betrayed HIM. He loved her to the bitter end, sadly.

Thanks for reading.
