Drabble: "No, Don't Get Up ... Really ..."

POTC drabble - I don't own any of these characters, obviously enough!

"No, Don't Get Up ... Really ..."
Rating: G for execution, X for your imagination (possibly B for humor)
Char: Gibbs, Jack, and ... well, everybody
Summary: Poor Gibbs has been used by the fandom's writers to interrupt more sex aboard the Black Pearl than a police raid on Heidi Fleiss's bedroom.
A/N: Just some crazy shit I came up with while trying to work.


He raised his hand to knock … hesitating.

Did he want to bother the Captain? Every other time he was forced down here for guidance, he faced some inflagranti delicto – Anamaria, Miss Elizabeth, Turner, the Commodore, Shaftoe, Martingale, Mr. Kate, those two pygmies. Joshamee Gibbs had seen Jack Sparrow’s naked rump more than his mama.

He heard Jack’s voice through the door; ah, just talking to himself. His almost-knock was suspended by a squawk from Myrtle, the ship’s hen … and then cooing.

Followed by bleating.

Gibbs turned away. He didn’t really need Jack’s directions to outrun that naval armada.

Good job I wasn't taking a drink when I read this! Brilliant (if disturbing)!

HAHA. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure if anyone is disturbed, it's Gibbs that has the full right to be. *G* Glad you liked it!

This is fantastic!

See, you can still write fanfic. ;-)

I can write DRABBLES. Far cry from War and Peace. But I'm working on it. *G* Thanks!

I say this joyously, with all due er, respect? or shock or well, fill in the blank on which feeling best suits this very odd little duck of a **Very Funny Story!** I'm so happy I didn't put my morning (Saturdays are for indulgence) shot of Drambuie all over the wall, monitor, cat, self.

"Joshamee Gibbs had seen Jack Sparrow’s naked rump more than his mama." Three things: Sounds sooooo much like Gibbs!, nice nod to all the various and sundry parings of past reading, and hell, it's there's just something very very funny about nekkid hinny!

Oh, and the summary'snot half bad neither! Thanks for the goof--it's terminally cute! (that's good)

Banks of replacement monitors all around the world are my payment for a job well done, madam. Thankee kindly! ;-)

Haha, poor Mr. Gibbs! And, I laughed most at the Pygmy's. Amazing!!

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Glad you enjoyed it!

Hooray! Nice nod to a convention of this fandom that, I have to say, I hadn't noticed until just now. He and Bootstrap should start a club.

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
They could even have code names - Delicto Interruptus 1 and Delicto Interruptus 2. (I hadn't noticed it with Bill so much, but I tend to associate his interruptions more with poor Will. Nobody likes Dad hovering like Marley's ghost during Fun Time. *G*)

Thanks!

*Dies laughing* In this week of upheaval thank you for one of the best laughs ever. This is refreshing, funny and just perfect.

Poor Mr. Gibbs.

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Gibbs is a lucky, lucky man ... that he has his flask handy.

Glad to be of service!

LOL! No secrets on a ship, eh?

There is a bad side to all that togetherness. As I recall, Mr. Kate had an unfortunate moment of walking in inopportunely.

BTW! Thanks for the Kate shout-out. She'll appreciate being remembered.

Good stuff.

If only Jack would leave a standing order not to come knocking when the ship's rocking, or yell "GO AWAY!" more convincingly, or something ...

No problem. Thanks!

Okay, I admit you made me guffaw.

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
OH YES I DID. GIBBS IS THE SHIT. Hee!

[identity profile] elibad.livejournal.com 2010-02-07 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hee! Poor Gibbs.

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
His life IS difficult serving Jack. My sister once compared his task with Jack to being the kid in junior high given the job of making friends with the new "special" kid and sort of keeping an eye on him around the school.

No wonder he has the flask around all the time. *winks*

As others have pointed out, thank heavens I wasn't drinking when I read this. Very funny, love.:)

But what about the peanut?

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
The chicken ate the peanut. Gotta have a wooing gift.

Glad you liked it!

[identity profile] woolymonkey.livejournal.com 2010-02-07 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
Very funny--and disturbingly believable. I like the pygmies.

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Jack liked the pygmies, too. No word on how they felt about Jack.

Thanks!

LOL!!!!

(but not scaring the cats, they're used to it by now.*

*VVBG*

You are going to post this on RTD, right? It's definitely Gibbs-centric.

Hee! Done!

What? Marty didn't make the list? lol. I should have known this was a PotC fandom trope. That last bit (before the bit with Gibbs' non-violent takeover) is even canon. :-p

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I was reminded of a line from one of [livejournal.com profile] pir8fancier's stories, from Will to Jack about following him around to various whorehouses: "My God, you might've had goats in there for all I knew!"

Pfft. The regular crew have enough sense to stay out of Jack's cabin. Why do you think GIBBS is always the one elected to go interrupt him?

[identity profile] a-silver-rose.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that is just EW!!!!!!!!

ROFLMAO!!!

[identity profile] veronica-rich.livejournal.com 2010-02-10 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, thanks! I'll take the compliment.

[identity profile] hippediva.livejournal.com 2010-02-08 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
BWAAHAAHAAHAHAHAHAA!


Oh dear God, if ANYONE could make that brilliant (besides Jack himself), it is you! ABSOLUTELY wonderful!

(*snort*)

High praise from the Vindaloo people! :-D
