Summary:
Inigo doesn't make a good pirate, but luckily for him, Jack Sparrow makes an excellent one.

Review:
After the events of The Princess Bride, Inigo takes on the mantle of the Dread Pirate Roberts from Westley. Unfortunately, he's terrible at it, and his crew abandons him. Fortunately for both Inigo and us, the readers, Jack Sparrow is in need of a ship and takes both Inigo and his ship in hand.

I love the character interactions here; Jack is very Jack, and Inigo, while maybe sillier than in canon, is so much fun as a drunken failed pirate. This fic is a blast from start to finish.

Fair warning, the only link I know of to this fic is on Angelfire, so there are some pop-ups and ads to deal with.

“I don’t get out much,” Inigo reassured him. “Plundering and…not taking prisoners. And whatnot. It’s quite taxing.”

Jack made a noise of assent, and then cleared his body from the wheel in one fell movement. His weathered jacket swayed wildly in the off-shore breeze, and his hair danced under his hat. “Here’s the thing, mate,” he said with an air of confidentiality as he slung an arm over Inigo’s shoulder. “It appears you’re lacking a crew.”

“Only temporarily,” Inigo informed him stiffly.

“Exactly,” Jack said, happily, and poked him in the middle of his chest with three fingers. “It also appears that my crew,” and here motioned to himself with those same fingers, “is lacking a ship.”

Now, Inigo was no fool, under normal circumstances. He was a bit gullible, certainly, but he wasn’t what anyone within sword’s reach would ever call foolish. And even when he was a bit under the influence, he could still tell when he was being set up for some kind of detrimental situation.

The trouble was, of course, that these weren’t normal circumstances. Inigo wasn’t supposed to be in Tortuga, nor was he supposed to be a pirate, and he certainly wasn’t supposed to want to hear what this Jack Sparrow had to tell him. So what he said, instead of “Get off my ship before I gut you from nose to stern,” was: “I have a bottle of brandy in the hold.”
