Peladon's attempts at writing fiction

 

 

Odds and ends

As I'm just beginning to think about venturing outside the supportive and womb like world of B7 I thought I had better have a place where non B7 stuff goes.

All the disclaimers mentioned before still apply, I do this for the hell of it, not for any profit.

Beloved of the Lady - this is PotC, my first non B7, because I love the way Jack dies. It is dedicated to my youngest nephew who gave me his second Captain Jack figure, and no greater love does a five year old have than that. The PotC universe and the characters belong to Disney and others.

Darkness and Decisions -this is also PotC . I don't usually do angst, which I suppose this is, but I was intrigued by what might have been going on in Jack's mind in the last moments before he is left alone to die.

The Gods play chess - also PotC. I'm a creature of ideas rather than relationships and so I wondered how a certain situation might be resolved - practically. This still needs some refining but it's not too rough.

To Dream - this could be anything I suppose, but it was written following a conversation about PotC possibilities and prompted by a comment made in a Dr Who episode.

Just Good Business - PotC. Elizabeth makes decisions about her future and discovers an unpleasent truth. Exploration of something that intrigues me.

A Christmas visit - PotC - Jack goes home for christmas. A variant on the view of Jack's childhood.

Ship of the Night - PotC again. A long time after AWE Will and Elizabeth face the future and the past

Words from the Heart - a short Pirates AU involving a character death

Fractures - a series of short 'What Ifs..'

Afterwards a series of short pieces

1. James Norrington in his last moments

2. Elizabeth faces the future
