Why this must be read:

Because it's excellent, one of the best Sparrington fics I ran across. It has everything I love in a good story: Brilliant writing, spot on characterization, a nice plot, humor,and hot sex.

Authors summary: One storm. Two ships. One island. You do the math.

"That's a woman," he blurted out.

"What, on the Pearl?" Gillette, lacking a handy glass, leaned over the rail and squinted, though it couldn't possibly have done him much good. "A prisoner, you mean? Or one of their whores?"

"A crew member, from what it looks like. And injured. No wonder Sparrow's so set on staying." That was one mystery resolved, anyhow. The knowledge came as something of a relief. Sparrow's situation, for all his showy posturing, had to be as desperate as Norrington's own. Which was a hell of a lot less humiliating than having the Dauntless' plight used for a lunatic pirate's personal amusement.

"If that was his reason," Gillette huffed, looking affronted, "then why didn't the man just say so?"

"Because he's Captain Jack Sparrow," Norrington sighed, and trudged off to see the surgeon about getting something for his headache.
