Hoping
artaxastra doesn't mind, but I've been rereading her wonderful PotC stories off and on for the last couple of weeks and, as has frequently happened in the past, was inspired to write fic for her fic. This is Jack's pov, set just before Watching Over You, which is set just after that One Day.

It's the first day of Christmas, and the
blackpearlsails Twelve Days of Christmas Fic/Fanart Celebration is underway! We have pirates signed up for each of the Twelve Days, and I can't wait to see what everyone has in store for us!
What with one thing (sweet grandson, just turned two) and another (working clear up to the 21st this year) I have just a small gift for you today, another bit of my Jack/Elizabeth story, The Moral Advantage, using a recent
blackpearlsails drabble prompt, pragmatic. The scene will be continued soon, too -- yay for Winter Break!

Greetings to all you wonderful piratey folk! As we prepare to celebrate the holidays, and the tenth anniversary of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, I hope you will all sign up for the Twelve Days of Christmas Fic/Fanart Festival at
blackpearlsails. We've had great success with this challenge these last two years -- check out the offerings from 2010 and 2011.
As was the case last year, you can write anything from a hundred word drabble to a long story, or make icons or banners, share your fanart, or even share great links you've found that we'd all enjoy, holiday themed or not! It'll start on Christmas Day (for which I've signed up again) and run for twelve days, through January 5th. Let me know in comments here if you'd like to participate, and if you have a preference as to date.
The original sign up post is at
blackpearlsails, and I'll repost there and here on my journal over the next couple of weeks (or until we have a pirate for each day).

Drabble: 'Heading Out' (J/E - G)
With Thanksgiving Week off, there is time for writing -- even with my little grandson's birthday celebration this last weekend and everyone visiting over Thanksgiving.
Here is a 200 word response to the current drabble challenge at
blackpearlsails, a "deleted scene" from DMC, set in Jack's cabin shortly after the Pearl sets sail from Tortuga with those "hundred souls"...

Drabble: 'Remembering' (J/E - PG13)
Started out well with
mininanowrimo (I've only committed to 100 words a day) but then missed yesterday as I was gone all day and too tired when I got home -- fell asleep sitting up in bed with the computer open and ready and woke at 12:30 a.m. Oh, well. But here are the 500 words I wrote on Nov. 1 & 2 for the current prompt at
blackpearlsails...

Catching up a bit, after several days of learning curve: had severe gadget envy and went out and acquired an iPad last Sunday. Wrote my first drabble on it this evening, exactly a hundred words of needy!Jack h/c for my dear
pearlseed who recently celebrated her natal day. Many happy returns, my dear.

blackpearlsails, prompt: Tantalize

This is for the 'Sail' prompt at

blackpearlsails we've already heard from our new Drabble Mate, Ms.

In the meantime, exactly 100 words...

Drabblish Valentine Fic
Happy Valentines Day to all! We're heading out for Thai food and a movie (My Week with Marilyn), but I wanted to post this little Valentine drabble first, for the 'Love' prompt. This is more J/E at Shipwreck Cove, and my sincere thanks to
hereswith for looking it over! Thank you, too, to all of you who sent me LJ glass hearts, they look so pretty on my profile page!

A reply to the current
blackpearlsails drabble challenge, prompt: Shipwreck. It's more like 500+ words, but what can I say? I'm out of practice? Unbetaed, too, which is worse, but hopefully not too full of errors.

Fic: 'Bath Holiday' (3 & 4/4 - J/E - PG13)
Here, finally, are the concluding chapters of my Twelve Days of Christmas offering, Bath Holiday, delayed due to a post-Christmas flu that's been wreaking havoc among my family (including little grandson, poor baby). Many thanks, as always, to
hereswith for editing.

My friend
celandineb hosted her
3fan_holidays fic exchange again this year and the big reveal of the authors was last night. I was honored to have
celandineb herself write A King's Generosity for me, and my own assignment was to write PotC for
cruisedirector with lots of Elizabeth and, if in the OST era, a stronger Angelica. Not sure if I succeeded with the latter, but the former was right up my alley since I'd begun something of the sort for my dear beta reader,
hereswith, who'd requested some post-OST J/E in that fic meme I've been chipping away at (no, I haven't forgotten the Jack/Nell scene you requested,
luvvycat). So here, without further ado, is...
