Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: James Norrington/Elizabeth Swann

Why this must be read: Set post-CotBP (but written before DMC), “Adaptation” finds a marooned Norrington rescued—by the Black Pearl. The crew of which now includes Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann.

James may have preferred to remain shipwrecked.

In the_dala’s carefully constructed story structure, moments that seem like throwaway lines earlier in the fic come back as major plot points later. Her Elizabeth is flawed yet passionate and determined; and her James slowly but believably adapts to life aboard the Pearl, as he eventually discovers what he wants out of life isn’t necessarily what he needs.


And, um, the porn is hot, too. Elizabeth brings new meaning to ‘cocktease’.
