Drabble: 'Fate Intervenes' (Beckett, W/E)

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."

Ahhhh Beckett, my everyone's favourite pantomime villain (and you have his voice beautifully here). I know speculation about the back story between Beckett and Sparrow has been done to death in fandom, but its just so delicious... :)

Very nicely done!

It is, indeed. We are given such cryptic, yet obvious hints of what occurred (and what might have occurred) in the movies that the imagination runs wild.

So glad you thought Beckett's voice right in this. He's a smooth customer, very easy to "hear".
