'An Alchemical Prescription' by Gloria and Tessabeth (NC-17)

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: Jack Sparrow/Jack Shaftoe (from Neal Stephenson's Quicksilver)
Author on LJ: viva_gloria and tessabeth
Author Website: impofperversity (for details on this go here.)
Why this must be read: This is a work-in-progress, but frankly, we don't ever want it to end. It's up to sixty-two chapters (as of this writing--the authors are amazingly fast at updating), and just gets better and better. There are sea and land engagements, sword fights, Greek Fire, illicit drugs, sea monsters, evil Spaniards who have Designs (both violent and otherwise) on our heroes, torture, mayhem, humor, angst, maps with secret writing, X's that mark the spot, moonlit reefs, severed extremities, and some of the hottest smut ever. viva_gloria started the tale, but shortly began to trade off writing chapters with tessabeth, and the way they egg each other on with hints and twists and cliffhangers is an amazing thing to witness. A brilliant story, by two brilliant writers. Don't miss it!

*blushes* You are very kind to rec this so lavishly!

We don't want it to end, either, though we know it must: and we're both writing at a frantic pace for the same reason as you're reading -- to see what happens. (We do have a plot. But one can hang such unexpected details from a framework, eh?)

If reading this persuades anyone else to read Quicksilver I shall be ever so happy!

egg each other on = challenge, torture and taunt.

Just drafting ch 65, by the way ...

As I have said before, I'm not really kind at all. Just want you to keep writing, and have others to share in the fun!

I know you must end it, sometime, though not too soon, I hope. The two of you, trading off on this, has just been too sweet. You have both spoiled me, terribly, and I am most grateful.

Am anxiously awaiting chapter 65!!!!!
