Drabble: 'A Bigger One! A Better One!' (Jack/Anamaria)

[dwgm]

One hundred words for potc100 challenge of the week...


~ A Bigger One! A Better One! ~

“That one.”

“That one?” Jack growled. But, there being nothing for it, he confirmed it. “Aye, that one! What say you?”

Anamaria shouted Aye! with the others, then snatched her hat back, giving Sparrow a glare as she shoved it on again.

She wasn’t satisfied, not in the least. Taken in by a pretty face. Played for a fool, like some green chit. As though she hadn’t known exactly what he was!

Someone, somewhere had to be capable of stealing away Sparrow’s heart and mind as deviously as hers had been stolen. She just hoped she lived to see it.

"Neener Neener Neener"

Yep.

So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the (much edited!) comments. :))

(That's a great icon, too, btw)

I used to read a LOT of J/A, and they are fun to write, too. It is a great pity she wasn't in the sequels.

Glad you enjoyed!!

I think you've really caught Ana here. Her fiercenes, but also the way she over-attacks Jack, as if to cancel out something. Can't seem to put it clearly but I'm sure you know what I mean because you've written it here.

the way she over-attacks Jack, as if to cancel out something.

Yes, he stole her boat, but there always seems more to it than that. And that scene at the end of CotBP, where she puts his coat on, makes me think there's some pretty interesting history between them. ;)

I'm glad you liked this! Thanks for letting me know!

Hee!

And to think, she was looking at him standing right behind Jack's right shoulder the entire time. :-)

I love Anamaria, there isn't nearly enough about her! I love her reason for being pissed off.

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

I love her reason for being pissed off.

Seemed like it was more than just the boat, didn't it?

And to think, she was looking at him standing right behind Jack's right shoulder the entire time. :-)

One could certainly interpret the scene in that way. *g*

So glad you liked it!

[cymbeline.livejournal.com]

Love this! So awesome to see Anamaria somewhere other than in my head. :-)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You know I love J/A, too. I'm glad you liked this.

Nicely done moment.

I did miss Ana in the sequels, though I think I know why they dropped her- it would've changed the dynamic when Elizabeth came aboard the Pearl.

Within the PotC world, I hope the explanation is that she made Jack make good on his promise to get her a better boat.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

it would've changed the dynamic when Elizabeth came aboard the Pearl

Heh heh heh heh ...

Possibly they didn't drop her at all. Zoe Saldana has a fairly good career and may have been doing other things at the time - and they weren't willing to pay what they needed to, to get her back (or she didn't want to do it).

[yoiebear.livejournal.com]

I actually read an interview with Zoe Saldana about the time DMC came out and she said she was never asked about reprising Anamaria and was a bit upset they didn't bring her back.

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

That makes me sad. We were upset, too.

[mary684.livejournal.com]

Nicely done. She is over the top in her exasperation with Jack and it was certainly never a doubt in my mind that they've an intricate relationship and history. I, too, wish they'd kept her for the sequels.

I'm sure she's sitting somewhere warm, a smug smile on her face with "hah! Take that, Jack Sparrow!" running through her brain.

I figured she got her ship. There's no reason she couldn't pay a visit to Shipwreck Cove, of course (and did, in the wonderful fic of the_dala's).

So glad you liked this! Thank you for commenting. :)

YAY! Anamaria!!!

Finally!

Awesome drabble!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[justawench.livejournal.com]

Love her taking out her anger at herself for being susceptible to his charms on him!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

taking out her anger at herself ... on him!

Yes, people tend to do that, don't they? And people back them were no different, I expect.

Thank you for reading and commenting!

"A Better One"!!! Even though I totally fail at fic-reading lately, I had to read this, because everyone in my family goes around quoting that scene all the time. :)

Someone, somewhere had to be capable of stealing away Sparrow’s heart and mind as deviously as hers had been stolen. She just hoped she lived to see it.

LOL.

I don't see enough Jack/Ana fic lately. Ahhhh, Jack/Ana -- the ship that doesn't piss anyone off. :) At least I don't think it pisses anyone off....

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

What a great J/A icon!

Ahhhh, Jack/Ana -- the ship that doesn't piss anyone off. :)

Very true! And they are very interesting to write together. There used to be lots of J/A fic being produced, remember that?

Thank you for reading and commenting here -- I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Ah, the good old days, before Ana disappeared off the face of the piratical earth. :)

Seriously, if I ever get a chance to talk to her at a Star Trek convention, I'm going to ask her why she wasn't in the sequels.

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Such a great little drabble! Put a smile on my face, it did. :-) Ana was so cool, to bad she wasn't in the other movies. :-) Oh well! One can always read her in wonderful little fics like this. You really caught her there. :-D

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed this. :))

[hereswith.livejournal.com]

Loved it! I, too, wish she had been in the sequels, who knows, maybe we could even have seen her interact with James (you know me). *g* But you write Ana and Jack/Ana so well, and this is a great glimpse of her thoughts in that scene. I especially liked the two last lines!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Yes, she was much missed in the sequels. They could bring her back for #4 and I wouldn't mind a bit. :)

[yoiebear.livejournal.com]

You always have such as way with Ana and Jack!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I do enjoy writing them. *g*

[djarum99.livejournal.com]

Of course he stole her heart along with that boat, and she's furious with herself for letting him *g* Great drabble ♥

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!

[lilfluffykitten.livejournal.com]

Ha! That'll learn him :)
Nicely done.

There should be more Jack/Ana - they're a nice pair, and the backstory needs more exploration.

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it.

Their backstory has been explored by various writers, but not for a while. We could do with more J/A.

[this-weirdness.livejournal.com]

There's nothing like a bit of J/A to brighten the day! Great drabble. :)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
