Forsaking All Others by Melusina (PG-13)

Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: Jack & Bootstrap, Jack/Black Pearl
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] fabu
Author Website: Cultural Infidelities
Why this must be read:

The ghost-story time of year is coming up fast, and it always makes me think of this tale.

Creepy and atmospheric, it looks into the backstory of Jack's obsession with and love for the Black Pearl. Moreover, it shows us the Pearl as a sentient being, which is a fascinating concept and one of my favorite bits of fanon; beautifully evoked here.

'Forsaking All Others' is set before the first movie, pre-mutiny, and in it Fabu gives us a very convincing glimpse of just how far Jack will go in pursuit of his goal - seen through the eyes of his best friend, Bootstrap Bill Turner.

This is a story that will stay with you.
