Pairing: Jack/ Elizabeth

Why this must be read:Lyrical and haunting, this short fic is set on the fourth night out of Tortuga (spoilers for DMC), aboard the
Pearl. Elizabeth is as fascinated as ever by pirates (one in particular), and she's coming to grips with (and tempted by) the reality of them.

( Standing at the rail of the Pearl, listening to the cheer on the main deck, Elizabeth felt strangely removed. )~~~~~~~~~~~~
Artaxastra is one of the newer voices in the Pirates fandom, and we're fortunate to have her. She has a fine sense of history that gives depth and reality to her stories. Her characters - Jack, Elizabeth and Gibbs, especially, in this one – ring true, defined as much by what they
don't say as what they
do. Good stuff.
