Title: Corsair
Author: Dorian Elizabeth
Rating: Currently...well, G.
Pairing: Will/Jack...and some innocent Will/Elizabeth.
Disclaimer: Not mine. If it were, well...I would be wealthy and pleased.
Feedback: Please...it encourages my muse, greatly.
Summary: "It's funny how beautiful people look when they're walking out the door" and "Just because someone sees, you know, two naked people asleep in bed together, it doesn't necessarily prove sex was involved. It does, however, make for a very strong case." (Both quotes are from Velvet Goldmine).
Author's Note: This is my first fanfic...ever. I will continue it whether or not I receive feedback. However, if I get no feedback, it may not be posted. The rating will go up, I promise. Also, I want to thank my muse, Velvet Goldmine...and my friends for dealing for my newfound homoerotic pirate love phase. Now, onto the story.
Corsair
Chapter One
"Elizabeth!" The shout echoed through the hallway, followed by the sound of a door opening and quickly closing. "Elizabeth!" Another door being opened followed by a relieved sigh.
"Elizabeth, I've been looking all over for you. I need to...what are you doing?" Will looked at his future bride, bent over a set of drawers. Her hair was loose and looked almost red against the setting sun.
"Packing," came the muffled reply.
"But.where are you going?" he asked, with great perplexity.
Elizabeth stood up and straightened her dress.
"I am going nowhere. You, however, are leaving."
"Where? Why?" Will's nervousness etched his face.
"I've received a letter from a dear friend, a certain Jack Sparrow." Will's eyes lit up at this, and Elizabeth continued. "It seems he has been searching for a crew member, and he requests that I let him borrow you for an indeterminate length of time. I gave my permission. You are to leave tomorrow morning. I figured I would pack some things now."
Will blinked. He had not expected to hear from Jack ever again, and although the thought bothered him, he never thought much of it. Instead, he decided to ask a few very pertinent questions.
"Why are you letting me go? How am I going to find him? What if I never come back?"
"I'm letting you go because it is where you belong. You will barter for passage to Tortuga at the docks tomorrow. You will find him there. If you never come back, well then, I'll just have to cope." The latter was said in a breaking voice, as horrible thoughts filled Elizabeth's head.
Will nodded his assent and allowed himself a serious smile. "I will come back, I promise."
"Well then, here are some things I figured you might need. I know it isn't much, but you do have things at home."
Will took the satchel Elizabeth offered and gave her a warm smile in return. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her softly.
"I love you," they whispered in unison.
Will stood on the deck of the Guileless, the only merchant ship that agreed to take him to Tortuga (although he did have to pay a hefty price). His eyes never left the horizon, and he looked as a man who lost all touch with reality. He sighed, and contemplated his reasons for going through with, well, with a life of piracy.
`I am going against everything I stand for. Everything I've ever been taught is proven false in me, now. Why do I go to you? You've been sitting at the back of my mind for almost a year. It's only now, looking back, that I see how you patched through my walls, and entered my life, in waves.(1) Why did you take so long to contact me? Have I been on your mind as well?'
With a confused shake of his head, Will retreated below decks to his temporary bunk. He resolved not to think for the rest of the night.
