Minuet by penknife (PG)

Fandom: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Pairing: Gen - with background Will/Elizabeth
Author on LJ: penknife
Author Website: Penknife to Paper
Why this must be read: Governor Swann! I love Governor Swann! I don't know why Weatherby doesn't get more love in this fandom. I can't possibly be the only one who finds Jonathan Pryce hot. There's a lot of opportunity for angst from him, and he's such a good reflective surface for the other characters.

“Minuet” finds Weatherby reflecting on the events of CotBP on his daughter. penknife has such a strong understanding of the characters: she acknowledges their flaws without villianizing anyone. I particularly like the section of this story about how Elizabeth's abduction would have affected her reputation (which is totally something no one goes into in a PG-13 Disney flick), how Norrington wouldn't have held it against her, and how Will wouldn't have thought about it.

Just wanted to let you know that you're absolutely not! I've always liked him, but I think I totally and completely fell in love with him was when he did...::cough:::...that thing with the car from Miss Saigon on the Tony Awards. You gotta love a man who has the appendages to do that on national television!

And BTW, thanks for the great recs!

I meant to say "the moment I totally and completely fell etc."
