I had no idea what the hell was going on but, much like dreaming, I supose it is best if one just surrenders one's brain and enjoys the ride.
Characters: Barbossa, Jack, a bit of Murtogg and Mullroy
Word Count: 400-ish
Rating: G
Prompt: Colourless
A/N: I like to think that, if they don't finally agree to co-captaining her, which they never would, because both men are just that stubborn, Barbossa and Jack play catch-the-Pearl 'til the end of time and will continually steal it from out of the other's hands for ever and ever. I wrote it because I've always wondered what it is that Barbossa would put on his flag, 'cause I refuse to believe that the skull and crossed cutlasses is his because... well, it isn't. I'm so much a nerd that, right from CotB, when they raised that flag I was like "OMG, why are they showing Jack Rackham's flag?" 'Cause it is. Or maybe there's a fic behind that, too, I don't know.
Word Count: 482
Characters: Barbossa, Captain Teague
Prompt: Why?
Summary: In which we find that Barbossa respects the elder Sparrow considerably more than his son. And the prompt I picked was 'Why?' because this is an explanation of why Barbossa didn't do anything particularly harmful to Jack, though he had numerous occasions to do so. And the character of Teague is awesome, more than just because he was played by Keith Richards.

April is National Poetry Month, so when you see this, post a poem you like on your LJ.
Reading the Entrails: A Rondel
They'll call it chance, or luck, or call it Fate--
The cards and stars that tumble as they will.
Tomorrow manifests and brings the bill
For every kiss and kill, the small and great.
You want to know the future, love? Then wait:
I'll answer your impatient questions. Still--
They'll call it chance or luck, or call it Fate,
the cards and stars that tumble as they will.
I'll come to you tonight, dear, when it's late,
You will not see me; you may feel a chill.
I'll wait until you sleep, then take my fill,
And that will be your future on a plate.
They'll call it chance, or luck, or call it fate.
-Neil Gaiman
'Tis St. Patrick's day. A day for all Americans to get drunk and watch parades and wear green and pinch everyone who isn't and eat corned-beef.
I for one will be wearing a little bit of green, and celebrating by listening all day to the Dropkick Murphys and Flogging Molly and settling down with some coffee to watch Father Ted.
Happy St. Patrick's day to all, and may your hangovers not be too vicious in the morning!
So, expect to find on this journal random ramblings (you can just skip over those), fanfic, and icons. I attempted fanart, but I suck when using a tablet, so plz to be ignoring my sorry attempts.
I'm into Pirates of the Caribbean (as you expect, I'm sure), Lost, Harry Potter, reading practically anything, and a dozen other things that aren't coming to mind.
Cheers!
