Why this must be read: I'm not ordinarily a Jack/Will shipper, buttessabeth's stories make me believe, and this one, which is quite different and darker than her others, is also the most convincing scenario. As the esteemed author says in her introduction, ...what would reality look like? What would cursed eighteenth century pirates really be like, without the firm hand of Mr. Disney's lackeys? (Yeah, I know I'm into deeply oxymoronic territory here.) What would really make Will have sex with Jack? And her answer: Elizabeth at knifepoint.
A thoroughly unsavory premise, you might say, but intessabeth's skilled hands it becomes a thing of beauty, an opportunity for Jack to teach, and Will to learn, how to endure even the darkest of experiences and find the good and the true at the heart of it.
As Jack says, "What we need to do...is get ourselves through tonight. And tomorrow, new things will happen, and chances may present themselves."
