Well, sort of. Written for Black Pearl Sails, and exactly 100 words, without the title. The theme, for this week is Sacrifice.



Man of Honor



He’d tossed aside caution, however reluctantly, to preserve an unknown life.

Jack Sparrow.

Not James Norrington.

It was true about the rocks, so James had run, instead. Useless at that distance. Yet a glimpse of that sudden figure knifing the water had kindled hope.

Damned pirate.

Elizabeth was alive but half-stripped, and the pirate crouched near. James had longed to kill him then and there.

Their conversation increased the urge, and the brand justified it.

Their subsequent dealings brought to light something of their true natures.

Ultimately he’d let them all think he’d been swayed by Swann’s reasoning. But no.

Ooooh. VERY good Norrington insight, and so economical, too!

Thanks! I don't always manage the 100 word thing, but this one was only about 130 words to start with.

I like your new icon, btw!

Thankee :) One of my favorite paintings. And have I ever mentioned that Flaming June is my absolute favorite painting? I have a print of it hanging in the common room.

No, but quite understandable. I had it as my computer wallpapter for a long time. Right now I have another one I think you'd like--The Lizard Charmer.

*LOVES*

I think it should count for the Porn Week, btw, if only for "a glimpse of that sudden figure knifing the water," which makes me unbearably lusty.

Yes. If I'd had more than 100 words I'd have worked in more Sparrow As Seen By James.

So happy you liked it. ;)

Very Nice!

Fave lines:
Damned pirate.

Yes, that line sounded like something Norrington would say. So happy you enjoyed this.
