Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl

Introduction

Once upon a time there was a little girl who loved pirates. One day she learned that there was going to be a movie based on Pirates of the Caribbean, and thus an obsession was born. She grew even more excited when she learned that the movie was going to star Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, for who better to star in a pirate movie than Johnny Depp and the king of homoerotic subtext Mr. Orlando "Still the prettiest" Bloom? She waited patiently for the movie to appear with only occasional shouts of "Pirates! Pirates! Pirates!" to demonstrate her eagerness. Finally the day was upon her and she could not sit still in her movie seat and her brain stirred with fears that the movie would not be everything she hoped. Approximately 3 hours later she was heard to utter, "Why the hell didn't anyone tell me becoming a pirate was a legitimate career choice?" For the movie had been everything she could have hoped for. There had been homoerotic sword fights, rum, pirates in dresses, rum, mad gay pirates, rum, silly hats, rum, kick ass girl pirates, rum, cool villains, rum, evil monkeys, rum, hot gay pirates sex (well maybe not onscreen), and more rum. However, the vaguely disappointing ending and the lack of sex between the main characters led her running home to search for fic (and rum).

The X-Men movies are based on the X-Men comic universe, in which mutants, people born with special powers (and sometimes an unusual appearance), are struggling to find their place in a society that hates and fears them. Because movie canon consists of a mere five hours of material, it is generally assumed that many details, such as character origin stories, are similar to those in the comic universe, even if we do not see it onscreen. There are a few differences between comicverse and movieverse canon, but most writers and readers are pretty open to the use of comic elements in fic.
