In Between the Spaces by Saeva (unrated but probably R)
Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: Jack Sparrow/Elizabeth Swann/James Norrington
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Unknown
Why this must be read: Pirates of the Caribbean is the polyest fandom I’ve ever seen—and this particular threesome is continually my favorite. Told from Elizabeth’s point of view, this fic is an AU, where Elizabeth has gone through with her marriage to Norrington at the end of CotBP—but also keeps Jack as her lover. “In Between the Spaces” captures the contrary aspects of the character--both her longing for freedom and adventure and her need for romance and stability, as reflected in her two men. Elizabeth’s wish to reconcile both her lovers parallels her desire to resolve her internal dichotomy—something she is going to have to do as her belly swells with child. Saeva’s ambiguity as to whether Elizabeth will succeed before she has her daughter—or, if ever—gives this story its emotional strength.
