Drabble: 'Winds of Fate'

[dwgm]

My Muse has been waylaid by too much RL lately. Finally managed to write a 'Wind' drabble, at least, and maybe I'll be able to write a 'Name' one and a 'Threat' one, before the day's out.

A hundred words of young Will and Elizabeth, with thanks to hereswith for looking it over.



~ Winds of Fate ~

The boy stood at the rail, flanked by Swanns. The three were looking out across the water at their destination, a green haze on the horizon at this distance. As the new governor expounded upon the delights of Port Royal, his daughter slipped a comforting hand about that of her "charge".

"'Tis an ill wind as blows no one good," Gibbs remarked at the sight, sounding somewhat less morose than usual. Then, apparently remembering himself, he flicked a wary glance at the lieutenant.

But Norrington only lifted a wry brow. "Indeed. Fortune certainly seems to be smiling upon young Turner."

Awww! Love young Will and Elizabeth together. Poor Norrie is already missing out. :D Of course it's never too safe to draw the attention of Fortuna.

No fooling.

So glad you liked this! Thanks for letting me know. :)

Very perspective of Gibbs. I can hear him muttering, "Nothing good going t' come of it, mark my words."

It is almost heartbreaking to think of what the future has in store for these two young souls. Or really, all of them.

Nice to see you muse is back. Perhaps it can inspire my muse to write that Wind drabble I've been contemplating.

This is an adorable little drabble. Little Will and Elizabeth are probably very lucky indeed.

And poor Norrington can't see it, but he's already lost. Though he's probably not yet even thinking about that.

Heh, I'll agree with honorat. It's just not safe to draw the attention of Fortuna.

Cool as can be,your words fit so nice and tight. There you are, quick, neat on deck, watching it unfold. I like that what you write is so familiar, then tweaked slightly. It's like Jack tilting his head, so sublte, but lawd how the words/meaning might be altered.

I so missed your muse!

Thanks for sharing this.

I'm so glad you liked this! Young Will and Elizabeth are fun to contemplate.

Hope you're feeling better today. :)

Yes, that phrase of Gibbs' is an interesting one.

I'm very glad you enjoyed this! Thank you for letting me know.

Thank you! Yes, the little ones are in for some heavy weather, eventually, but I bet they had some happy times in Port Royal for a while there.

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's good to be able to write something -- thought I was losing it entirely.

Looking forward to your Wind drabble!

I don't think I've ever read any drabble quite so heavy with premonition. Nicely done!

Awww! Baby Will and Elizabeth! So very cute!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

There are so many twists and turns in the future, which makes these moments of happiness all the more treasured. Kinda like RL, you know? I'm very glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for commenting.

They are very cute, and much fun to write. So glad you liked it!

Such a perfect, wonderful scene. Great drabble!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I do love little Elizabeth and Will.

The boy stood at the rail, flanked by Swanns. What a beautiful opening line - and dear Gibbs... *sighs for days long gone* Lovely to read something by you again!

Flanked by Swanns -- lovely image. Her hand around his. Sweet.

That green haze on the horizon is so reminiscent of the green flash that seals their fate -- very nice!

I love your Norrington -- he is spot on perfect!

It has such a feeling of anticipation for What Comes Next.

I've felt a lot better since Monday night's ER trip. Thanks for asking!

[kseenaa.livejournal.com]

Wonderful. :-)

My Muse was silent for so long I was beginning to think my writing days were past! I'm so glad you liked this little glimpse of young Elizabeth and Will. Thank you for letting me know!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

That green haze on the horizon is so reminiscent of the green flash that seals their fate

That's something I hadn't thought of, but how very true.

I'm so glad you felt this worked!

It would be fun to delve into the Gibbs/Norrington aspect of things. It's entirely possible they've spent more time at sea together than Jack and Gibbs.

So many different futures all standing at that rail together. A bit o' irony there.

Good stuff!
