Disclaimer: They all belong to Disney. Every last one of 'em... but they steals away in th' shadows an' visits me in th' night, like good pirates!
Author's note: Everyone who has read my three long fics knows that William has been released from his curse, with Jack's help, and he and Elizabeth are living upon the Black Pearl as a part of the crew, and that they had their baby on the ship. So it is in my lovely Pirates world!
Prologue from The Author, Pirate Cat, 'erself!
Well, mates, I have only been writing upon this website since the middle of May, 2007, and I must say that I have almost been shocked at how well my stories have been received! You're all diamonds, mates! I have tried very hard to keep the characters "in character", and most of you have let me know that I am doing alright. My style of writing these wonderful characters is not for everyone, so a tip o' th' tricorn to those of you who have reviewed and pm'ed me to tell me that you like what I do. I have tried to treat Captain Jack Sparrow and his friends with a great deal of affection and with respect to the movies' talented writers, Terry and Ted. I can't say enough about them... and everyone knows how I feel about the marvelous actors that brought these characters to life.
What I am doing, here, is compiling all of my one shots into one place... the existing ones (all 30 of 'em!), plus any more that I write as I go along. The problem with one shots is that they are just that... one shots... and once the website updates with new stories and chapters from all of my other creative mates out there, the one shots get lost further and further back in the watery fanfic abyss. So I will just make a one shot/drabble "library", as it were, of my stories, and add each new story eventually. That way, the other one shots will all be there in one place for new readers to enjoy, too!
As for me wonderful, faithful readers who have already read these, and so kindly reviewed... I will update the table of contents below with each addition. If you have the existing one shots already added to your favorite stories, I will not delete them from the website, for your convenience!
Thanks, mates, for indulging me and letting me cram all of these together as chapters. And have no worries...there will always be new fics to come from Pirate Cat, savvy? Pirate Cat raises her mug of rum, jumps up and down, and shouts "Huzzah" for finally getting organized!

19. Glass Eyes - Humorous drabble. Mr. Ragetti goes to the marketplace with Captain Sparrow.
20. Good Business - VERY dark one shot. Cutler Beckett has had his fill of Jack Sparrow, and both of their lives change forever with a red hot branding iron.
21. Leaving His Mark- One of my own personal favorites. Salty, humorous pirate talk! Jack tells William and Elizabeth just how he left his mark upon Lord Cutler Beckett. Loves me Jack!!

24. Trifles - Kind of a sweet one shot; Elizabeth feels guilt, and Jack explains why he is no longer furious with her.
25. The Way That He Is - Sad and sweet. Spinoff of my long fics in which Jack and William are cousins. Little Will Turner adores his cousin Jack, but wonders just why he is "the way that he is".

32. Sister Ships - One shot... the story of the Flying Dutchman, from the laying of her keel in Amsterdam to the Battle of the Maelstrom... her own point of view.
33. The Sacking of Nassau Port - Humorous one shot. (Another one of my own personal favorites... simply because it was such fun to write!) We all know that the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow sacked Nassau Port without firing a single shot... but it did not quite go as planned, according to Bootstrap Bill Turner.
34. From a Distance - Emotional one shot. Captain Teague requests a meeting with his son, Jack Sparrow... to finally clear some things up between them.

37. His Little Bird - Sad one shot. The story of a pirate captain, whose life is changed, and whose heart is broken, by a tiny, beautiful baby boy.
38. Acceptance - One shot. There are tons and tons of stories about Jack having long lost children. Here is a different twist. What if he could NOT have children? Jack's introspective thoughts on acceptance, love and fatherhood. Rated T for mild sexual reference.
39. The Destruction of the Past, Chapter One - This is chapter one of a THREE shot... a three chapter story, meant as a one shot that got longer as I wrote! Angsty, emotional. Port Royal has been partially destroyed by a terrible earthquake, and in going back to see the damage, Jack, William and Elizabeth are reminded of the value of their friendship.
40. The Destruction of the Past, Chapter Two - Jack and William finally tell the crew of the what they saw in their mission to find out what happened to earthquake ravaged Port Royal. Will be concluded in Chapter Three.
41. The Destruction of the Past, Chapter Three - This story of the Port Royal earthquake is concluded with a private, heartfelt conversation between Jack, William and Elizabeth in Jack's cabin. Friendship is a very valuable commodity, indeed.
42. The Crewmembers from Singapore - Long humorous one shot. After William's heart is restored and he is released from the Dutchman, he and Elizabeth join the crew of the Black Pearl... they are in Singapore to take on provisions, and of course, fun isn't the only thing that follows Captain Jack Sparrow back from the marketplace!
43. The Wind, Chapter One - Dark, eerie two chapter story. Jack Sparrow's madness was legendary, but was it, indeed, really madness?
44. The Wind, Chapter Two - conclusion.
45. The Earl and The Duke - Humorous one shot! I had so much fun writing this! Jack and William poke a great deal fun at the aristocracy over a game of cards at their own rumfilled tea party.
46. Tiny Chips of the Truth - Quiet one shot. William and Jack have yet another conversation over mugs of rum on the deck of the mighty Black Pearl. They both know the value of respect, these days.
47. The Most Legendary - A "deleted scene" from my FINALLY COMPLETE long fiction, "The Other Side of the Island"... Jack talks to a new four-footed friend, who helped him and Will, Elizabeth, and Jack's lady love, Janie, with a daring rescue during the long story! Sweet one shot!
48. Avast - Very bittersweet one shot. A 17 year old Jack meets 3 year old Will Turner, who reminds young Jack of what his lost childhood was like, at one time long ago.
49. Desiderata - Touching one shot. Set during my long story, "Thicker Than Water", and inspired by a surprising bit about Jack on the new AWE dvd set. While caring for a badly injured Jack, William, Elizabeth and Gibbs ponder a very long poem that is tattooed on his back.
50. Ahhh, the Pleasure! - Short, sweet fluffy one shot. Jack is pleased by the warm, talented hands of his beloved Irish lassie... and it's not what you think! LOL!
51. In a Longboat, Such as This - Introspective, thoughtful one shot. Elizabeth ponders all of the important events that took place in an everyday, mundane longboat...
52. The Pirate King of Rum - A funny, fluffy story of New Year's Eve aboard the Black Pearl, and Jack's new title for himself!
53. Wild Horses - Thoughtful, amusing one shot. Captain Teague thinks about his son, as he plays his guitar at Shipwreck City.
54. Fittin' - Jack and his crew visit Captain Teague on the island of Madagascar, and learn one or two things about what's "fittin'"! Amusing one shot
