Drabble: 'Mists of Time'

[dwgm]

artaxastra posted a short but wonderful new chapter of her Outlaws and Inlaws series last night, Lost at Sea, featuring Will and a certain lady from Jack's past. Naturally the plot bunnies started breeding. Many thanks to hereswith for giving this a peek.

It uses the theme of the week from Black Pearl Sails...



~ Mists of Time ~

Teague’s in the midst of a cozy pipe in the common room the first night the Pirate King descends and enters with her newborn to general acclaim. It’s been a few days, now, and the babe looks better than he had at first, sated, swaddled, and working at a nap. His mother has a glow about her, and Jackie’s hovering, a look on his face and a light in his eyes that make the mists of time roll back.

Forty years ago it was Isabelle glowing, and himself hovering.

Just the same.

And yet… not.

But then the Ferryman’s bride glances up at Jackie with her own look and light, and a smile that’s just for him, and Teague knows it’s all right.

Somehow, it’s going to be all right.

I liked your drabble! The image of Elizabeth's smile "only for Jack" has sort of stuck with me since I read it.

Thanks so very much! I'm so flattered! My early ones are not so good, but I leave them up anyway; I post the especially smutty ones to AFF (as I assume that's what people are looking for over there) but I do link all smut and non-smut "good copies" from a table of contents in my LJ, which I'm about to update, here. Enjoy!
