kabutar! Remember how I was OBSESSING over the end of PotC: At World's End? (Um, really. How could you forget? It was a looooong commentversation.) Anyway. I FOUND FIC. Fic that pretty much does what we were talking about. \o/

turn your sail (never say we die) by mercurial_wit

Sailing away from Elizabeth for the first time, you are half-expecting your heart to break and leak blood into the locked chest. You hold a spyglass to your eye until she is out of sight and until the new scar tissue beneath your collarbone has begun to ache.

So. Um. It's kind of SAPPY. But in a good way! I mean, it's well written, and it's Will and Elizabeth, so sappy is pretty par for the course. But! It's all... the curse! And the eternity of the curse! (Admittedly, my inner angst queen is still eager to write about Elizabeth waiting and waiting, and getting older and older, but never mind. THIS WILL DO NICELY.)

It's flipping freezing out. I mean, it's not snowing, but every time I step out the house, it starts to tip it down. Badlands was excellent. I always thought that Emilio Estevez looked more like his father than Charlie Sheen, but the similarities between the latter and Martin Sheen in this film are just insane. Also, Schuyler Fisk is a carbon copy of Sissy Spacek. (Spacek is beautiful in this film, effortlessly so.) The film was wonderful.

I have the accompanying lecture at 1600, and I booked my train ticket this morning to head home on Saturday. Now I just need to sort out these tutor meetings (and finish this flipping ballade) and I'll be set for Easter break. Yayarms!

I've always thought Emilio looks like more than his father did when he was young, whereas Charlie looks more like Martin is now. There's a particular shot in Apocalypse Now where Martin looks just like Emilio. Or perhaps Emilio looks just like Martin. Either way, you know what I mean! I hope.

Hee, really? I don't know. Like I said, I saw the similarities between Sheen Snr. and Estevez (even more so now - I was taken aback in Bobby) and I sort of saw the saw in Charlie Sheen, but I never thought it was that strong. But when the film started playing, there was such a strong similarity between young Sheen and Charlie Sheen as I remember him from a few years back. It was pretty startling to see.

And seriously. Schuyler Fisk pretty much IS Sissy Spacek.

Schuyler Fisk has such a gorgeous voice too - have you heard her? I wish she'd release her damn album already!

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been following her for a couple of years now. The plan is for the album to come out this year? Fingers crossed!

That fic is amazing. I may have actually squealed at the ending. Thank you for reccing it!

Also I completely understand your ire re: the weather.

[delgaserasca.livejournal.com]

ME TOO. I found it by accident (=awesome). I think I might just haunt the author's tag page.

SO COLD, SOPH, SO COLD. I was wearing double layers ALL OVER and was still soaked flipping through and through.

By the by, do you have a del.icio.us page??

I am ridiculously pleased that Norrington and Jack showed up again. Because, much as I love Will and Elizabeth and thier story, I also love Norrington and Jack a whole lot.

I had to go for a driving lesson in it. (I was kind of hoping my instructor would call the lesson off due to bad weather but, alas, no such luck).

I do not! It would make sense, seeing as I've just lost all my fic recs in the Computer Shenanigans of '08, but: still no.

It's rare for me to find PotC fic that I actually like. And then, huzzah - one that caters to my ridiculously specific kinks. \o/

Ew.* I have to learn to drive once I've graduated. Do not want!

OK. I'm just trying to figure out which flisters do and which don't is all :)

[zeitheist.livejournal.com]

I'm not even in PotC fandom, and it's ridiculously difficult for me to find fic I like (see also: Torchwood). I'm still not sure if this is because of low standards in fic or my own standards being too high.

Driving is... interesting. It's very easy to learn the theoretical stuff, but it takes a lot of practise to make that stuff work. I've just been bumped up to two lessons a week, so I'm all "adstjlngf" about it. I'm sure you'll do fine, though. I've seen some pretty shonky drivers in my time and if they can get licenses so can we!

That's fine!

The first thing I thought when I read your comment was: there's a PotC fandom?. Which. OK, so I'm a moron.

But! I don't like CARS. Or ROADS. Or places with cars and roads! Or motorists. Verily I just need to suck it up already and get on with it. But. BUT. Aie.

I have a Torchwood rec somewhere. Um. Let me dig it out?

(lols, deleted.)

ISN'T IT? It's so... it's basically WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT. !

The author has a real way with words (I've been reading her other fic, too) and yeah, that scene with Jack was priceless. And when we first meet James, right at the top. FAB.
