Wrote this for the 'Fate' challenge at Black Pearl Library (BPSails' sister group on Yahoo). It was written a long time ago, but I don't think I ever posted it. 0.o

Beckett had never forgotten.

He'd been young, very young when he'd met Captain Jack Sparrow, rising star of the Company. Cutler had been startled, then charmed, then full of… well, something more. Sparrow was no doubt vastly amused. They were nearly of an age, yet Sparrow seemed older, and infinitely more worldly. And, of course, he was Captain Jack Sparrow.

"Perhaps you remember a certain pirate named Jack Sparrow. "

"Captain!" the two snapped, instantly, and Miss Swann reiterated, with some heat: "Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Captain Jack Sparrow." Beckett savored the words, his lips curving. "Yes. I thought you might."

Wonderful drabble. I find the potential J/B backstory fascinating and no one can tell me that there wasn't a frisson between them during the scene on board the Endeavour in AWE.

Beckett definitely has all the characteristics of a lover scorned ;)

"...a lover scorned."

I must say that would make an interesting story...
