Fortune and Favor, by Firesignwriter
Slightly later than I intended to start, but here I am with the first of the January Pirates of the Caribbean recs. My bias is towards Norrington-centric stories and Jack/Bootstrap, for the most part, but I like pretty much anything if it's well-written enough, and I've even been convinced by a few Will/Jack stories.
Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: Jack, Norrington, Anamaria (no overt pairing)

Why this must be read:
Anamaria didn't have much of a role in the movie, but I thought she had some intriguing potential -- so I have an automatic bias towards stories which flesh her out in an interesting and believable manner, as this one does. Firesignwriter portrays the relationships and interactions between Jack and Anamaria, Anamaria and Norrington, and Norrington and Jack deftly. Really, words fail me when I try to talk about this story: it is really that good.
It starts with Jack and Anamaria adrift, and ends with Jack finding another new identity. Along the way it's by turns funny, sad, and touching, and Norrington's world is changed a bit.
Did I mention that it's really, really good?
A quote:
"Think of me as a fly on the wall," Norrington suggested, not budging.
Jack sighed. He went to his knees by the bed and put his head close to Anamaria's. Low enough voices, pitched as heartsore endearments, might still do the trick. That, and a little high drama. "Is the pain terrible, darling?"
Anamaria wasn't much into acting. Her grip threatened to pulp his hand. "Not as terrible as the pain you'll be in if ye think to be leavin' me behind when you escape," she cooed softly, between her teeth.
