FIC: Your Move Series (complete) (James/Jack, NC-17, 5/5)
Title: Your Move Series (5/5)
Author:pir8fancier
Pairing: James Norrington/Jack Sparrow
Word Count: 51,000 (more or less)
Rating: NC-17. If you find male/male sexuality disgusting, you are in the wrong place.
Warnings: This is an AU of sorts. It jumps off from events established in the first movie.
Betas: Theresa Green, webcrowmancer, lizzie_omalley,veronica_rich, and gryphons_lair
Disclaimer: Disney owns.
Author's Notes: I owe a debt of gratitude to commodoresexual and firesignwriter. Their *far* superior characterizations of James Norrington were instrumental in forming my own vision of him. Without their wonderful stories, I fear he wouldn't have seen the light of day in this story.
It shocks me to realize that I wrote the last bit of this fic (Match) something like four years ago. I held off writing the last and final chapters, hoping to leap off of the canon established by the release of the second movie. Well, shoot, that was a stupid idea. If you've been around these waters for any length of time, you know how unhappy I was with the second movie. I disagreed with many things, but most of all I disagreed with what they did to the character of James Norrington. It was, to my mind, nothing short of a character assassination. James Norrington would sooner become a drunken sot than Jack Sparrow would become a Carmelite nun. Funnily enough, I didn't mind so much when he was killed off in the third movie because they had, at the end, restored his dignity. This is a cornerstone of James' character and to see it trampled on and ignored during the course of the second movie pretty much enraged me. I was so disgruntled by the last two movies that I lost heart in finishing this. While Jack Sparrow amuses me and Will Turner makes my heart go pitty-pat, it is the character of James Norrington who reduces me a teary-eyed mess. He is the fellow who never gets the girl, no matter how noble he is. He is the character who puts duty first. He is the character that tries to hide his rather soft heart behind a wig and a uniform. And he is the character that I love the most in "Curse of the Black Pearl." Am glad this finally done. The POTC fandom was my first real fandom. A more welcoming and lively bunch was never met. Tipping my tri-corner to you all.
Note that some of these links are to skyehawke. It's easier to read some of the lengthier chapters in one go, as opposed to leap-frogging from LJ link to LJ link.
