Disclaimer: What's the point of this? You already know I don't own anything. Well, I guess it's so I don't get sued...
Note: This is the shortest vignette in the quartet, and is based entirely on the 'peas in a pod' deleted scene on the DVD. Just thought you might want to know. Oh! And this one has more Jack and Elizabeth than Commodore, but Norrington is on their minds through most of it, so it still relates to him.

The Graveyard of Ships, capital letters and all, didn't scare him as it had once. It still gave him chills to think of the numbers the passage had claimed, but he had come to respect it more than fear it.
He heard Elizabeth's footsteps on the deck behind him, and she came up to the rail some distance from him. He fought the anger he felt toward her on behalf of James, maintaining a neutral look.
"You didn't tell him about the curse."
"I noticed neither did you," he pointed out. "For the same reason I imagine."
"He wouldn't have risked it," she said. She sounded almost distressed, but Jack couldn't believe that. He'd seen what she did to the Commodore to get her way.
"Could've gotten him drunk," he suggested. She looked at him. "Don't get me wrong, love. I admire a person who's willing to do whatever is necessary." He wanted, more than anything, for her to realize that he was mocking her. He wanted to tell her exactly what he thought about her toying with a man's heart.
"You're a smart man, Jack."
She didn't. Damn.
"But I don't entirely trust you."
Ah, now here was something he could work with. Jack watched her for a moment, then turned toward her and walked over, his current animosity toward her revealed slightly in the irate way he advanced. He gestured between the two of them and said, almost coldly, "Peas in a pod, darling."
His hostility had shown through a little too well - Jack had forgotten that he wasn't dealing with the slightly more naïve Will. Elizabeth watched him, and looked as if she were about to ask what, exactly, she had done to get such an unwarranted reaction. But then her eyes shifted over his shoulder, and she looked down.
Jack turned to find the very man on whose behalf he was angry with Elizabeth. He would never, of course, admit that he was angry with her on James' behalf. He still had his pride, after all.
Norrington clicked Jack's compass closed, then tossed it to him.
"With me, Sparrow."
Jack glanced at Elizabeth, then walked past the Commodore, and Norrington followed.
