Late to the party, but wanted to drop a few words about how much I enjoyed this. I've got a weakness lately for older Jack; grey at his temples, and 'further south' - oh my! - and maybe moving more slowly, cautiously, but still with good fitness and being carefree. Oh yes, I like it muchly. Also enjoy him sparring in the nude. It doesn't initially seem like something Jack would do, but you've written it very true to the way I see his character.

Also? "this wasn't exactly a typical ache." Ooooh, baby!! I like me some big strong blacksmith-muscled Will! I..*tries to shut up*
