Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: James Norrington/Anamaria
Author on LJ: the_dala
Author Website: Livejournal memories
Why this must be read: Yes, I know. I thought this pairing totally should not work either. It has no basis in canon. Heck, I don’t think the characters ever even met.

the_dala, though, pulls it off, mainly from staying away from anything romantic or schmoopy. Her Anamaria a strong, determined woman, and her Norrington is sympathetic, intelligent, and understanding.

Set post-CotBP, this story also contains my favorite James lines from any fic:
"I don’t –" Own slaves. Endorse the practice. Wish harm to innocents. Enjoy the sight of necks breaking when the rope pulls tight. Sleep soundly at night. Instead he breaks off and insists, "You don’t have to do this."
