WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 250
MAIN CHARACTERS: Tia Dalma, Jack Sparrow

FIC SUMMARY: Tia Dalma sees many things, but some of them even she does not expect.

RECCER'S NOTES:
A short, beautiful exercise in character voice.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Elizabeth Swann, (Jack Sparrow, Hector Barbossa, Will Turner)

FIC SUMMARY: The first saved her. The second stole her. The third shouldn't have meant anything at all.

RECCER'S NOTES:
Elizabeth Swann reflects. A character study of three pirates and a pirate king; surprisingly potent for such a short fic.

WIP?/WORD COUNT: Complete | 2371
MAIN CHARACTERS: Original characters, Jack Sparrow

FIC SUMMARY: I know it happened, for I was there.

RECCER'S NOTES:

This is wonderful. It's almost poetic in the way the story is told - it perfectly captures the enchantment and magic of the canon. A story reflecting the magic and beauty of the sea and a pirate's life in Jack Sparrow's world.

MAIN CHARACTERS: Jack Sparrow, Original Characters

FIC SUMMARY: Jack's always been an odd bird.

RECCER'S NOTES:

I have no idea how these fandoms can be blended so well, but the thought of a teenage Jack Sparrow kicking around Hogwarts, getting into trouble and spinning tall tales of his worldy travels just amuses me no end. This is really, really fun, and Jack's voice is fantastic.

MAIN CHARACTERS: James Norrington, Jack Sparrow

FIC SUMMARY: He dreams of cannonfire and cursed treasure, of tangled hair and a gold-studded smile, but most frequently he dreams of the day he ordered that Will Turner be detained, and of the sailor's bright-feathered bird that cursed on high when Jack Sparrow did the gallows dance.

RECCER'S NOTES:

An alternate timeline in which Jack did not escape at the end of the first movie - and his spirit lingers to haunt Norrington. This is a really bittersweet fic, almost unsettling to read at certain points, but beautiful as well.
