What a wonderful use of the prompt. I do so love Will's pirate boots.
Very realistic, Will working his way back into the town's regard, after their very public intervention at Jack's hanging.
I liked how Jack left something for Will. I sort of see that as not being in Will's debt, along with being a kind of thank you gift. The discreet leaving of a bead, just to let Will know who left the funds, is a great touch.
Good weaving of the Edinburgh and Captain Bellamy into the fic.
Trust Will not to really want to hang on to ill-gotten gains, but still put them to good use in helping someone else.
I loved the backstory of the maker of Will's boots. That she's a friend, and a woman who is better at the trade than any of the male hired help. It's sad that her family doesn't seem to really recognize this, but will leave the family business to some male apprentice, probably, while her mother tries to force her into the traditional female role. While she is pregnant, and basically in trouble, Jack's gift is being used for good ... to give her a chance to get away, have her baby, and start up a business for herself.
She is so far ahead of her time. I liked, too, that she refers to herself only by her last name.
Will's pirate boots are a wonderful thank you gift. I love how he got them.
