A hundred words of rather angsty PotC, very kindly betaed by [livejournal.com profile] hereswith, for the new drabble challenge.



~ Catch the Wind ~


His darling wife gone to dust along with their son, and now Elizabeth, too, the light of his days. What now did it matter who had won, or what he became?

“I’m sorry, Governor,” Norrington said, and there was honest emotion in the man’s face.

Weatherby rasped, “I should have been… stricter in her upbringing.” But a sob of laughter escaped. An absurd thing to say, given who she was. Who he was. And the degree to which everything had gone wrong.

Norrington smiled, but the hand he put to Weatherby’s shoulder gripped hard. They were one in their grief.

Thank you so much, Jen -- so happy you liked this one, in spite of the angst. Or because of it? ;)

Wonderful. It has been a long time since I've seen Weatherby or James and it's very nice to see them again. You write them perfectly.

Lovely work.

I love Weatherby (and James too, of course) -- very much fun to write, although rather full of angst in this case So happy you liked this one -- thanks for letting me know!

I hit this one right on the money, but I often go over -- I try to hit an even number, though, like 150 or 200. Like doing a puzzle! And it's good practice, trying to be very consise and still get your point across. And they're quick to read and review. Lots to love. I'm very happy you enjoyed this one! Thank you for letting me kow

It is good to see Norrington and Weatherby again, even in those last grim days. Lovely drabble :-)
