Author's Summary:
In which Will Turner most emphatically does not avoid familiarity with pirates, Captain Jack Sparrow cheats in his infamous and fabulous fashion, vast quantities of rum lead to drunkenness and debauchery, and there are no silly nautical euphemisms for sex (so long as the barnacles don't count).
Review:
A post-Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl AU, in which a Will Turner bereft of Elizabeth wanders into a bar in Tortuga and back into Jack Sparrow's life, much to Jack's pleasure.
I love, love, love this fic. It's incredibly vivid and the characters feel like they've walked right out of the movies and into the story. The narration has a sort of looping whimsy, reminiscent of Jack himself and the author's Jack voice is particularly spot on (I can seriously hear Johnny Depp delivering this line: "I'll consider it unconsidered if you will consider that as a pirate, it's in my very nature to consider it."), and the drunken and befuddled Will is a perfect foil for him. Nigh on every moment is hilarious, if you find Jack Sparrow a funny guy. I also enjoyed the author's Terry Pratchett-esque use of parenthetical meta commentary, which frequently gave me the giggles. Lastly, the sex is visceral and smokin' hot.
As a side note, I like that shrift gives Elizabeth a happy and independent ending (albeit off 'screen'), despite the fic focusing in the main slash pairing; it really feels respectful of all three primary characters of the film.
It was hard to pick a section to quote; seriously this whole fic is quotable. ( Click here to read an excerpt. )

Author's Summary:
This was before Inigo's wound reopened, and Westley relapsed again, and Fezzik took the wrong turn, and Buttercup's horse threw a [shoe]. And the night behind them was filled with the crescendoing sound of pursuit...
Review:
A charming coda to the film. Not all is sunshine and lollypops when you're on the run from a legion of armed men, and in this fic the Grandfather continues reading after the kiss and reveals how the four escaped from the Prince's men, how they dealt with Inigo's injury, and if they made it to the Revenge (spoiler: they do!).
I particularly liked Buttercup in this, including her internal commentary and her agency. Fezzik's section is also hilarious (rhyming!), particularly his thoughts on women's clothes. Altogether a fun continuation of and meta-commentary about the film.
