Feel free to use these dribbles as prompts. If you do, could you please post a review with the name of the story?
1. A long time ago, James and Elizabeth and Will were children in the town. (Or at least, Elizabeth and Will were. James was a young man who had managed to get a ship but was still ordered to watch the Governor's daughter.) They played pirate, where Norrington was the good sea captain Norry hunting the dastardly pirates, and Elizabeth and Will were the dastardly pirate captains. If Elizabeth is feeling mischievous or Will is drunk, they still call him that, much to his consternation. Jack has no idea what's going on.
2. Jack and Elizabeth have hair-combing nights where they brush out their hair and wash it in fresh water to get all the salt out. Will thinks that it would be easier to just cut it all off, but he likes Elizabeth's hair the way it is, so he stays silent.
3. Eventually, Jack's habit of wearing beads in his hair rubbed off on Will and Elizabeth. Will occasionally wars shells in his hair, and Elizabeth steals buttons from Will because she's a magpie.
4. Norrington has given up on actually catching those three. Oh, he gives it a good showing, but inside he merely wishes that they'd stop waltzing around Port Royal in broad daylight so he has to arm the militia... Again. Jack has escaped capture six times, Elizabeth three, and Will, who is the most reasonable, two, both with Jack. The worst part is, both of the times Will and Jack escaped together, they were drunk. That day he made sure to have some cognac with Gilette to make sure he wasn't going too crazy. Gillette assured him that most of the men thought Jack and Will had supernatural powers, so he wasn't alone.
5. A long time ago, Jack Sparrow stood next to a slave market looking for his mother, who was being sold. He was the son of a sailor, which one he didn't know as his ma worked a brothel, until the slavers caught her. He was spared because he was half-white. From that day on, he could not abide slavery.
6. Calypso was once a lonely nymph trapped in a island because of her father's war. Once she got off, she made sure that each man in her domain was responsible only for his own actions and no one else. So says the justice of pirates and the sea.
7. Jack doens't actually drink that much rum. It's a game and a way to make himself underestimated by rival captains and the Royal Navy.
8. Will misses his forge sometimes, until he remembers that his master took credit for all his work and sometimes hit him if he smarted off. Jack sometimes wonders were he would have ended up if he hadn't stumbled into that blacksmith shop and concludes either dead or under that nasty Aztec curse. Elizabeth sometimes has nightmares of corsets and fancy dress balls. All three are grateful to be on the ocean instead of on land. (Norrington just wishes that the ocean they picked was farther away from his duty post.)
9. The Port Royal Halloween celebrations are rife with rumors of the three pirates. Once, they even turned up dressed in each other's clothes and asked for a trick-or-treat. They were given a cookie each, as Norrington didn't want to see what a trick would be.
10. The only way you can get them to separate is to put them ashore in Tortuga. Will wanders off to an old forge, Elizabeth shops at the market, and Jack can be found wenching and boozing in the bars. However, sooner or later Jack will find Elizabeth "to accompany her and protected her from such rapscallions as often live in Tortuga, mate!" And they will both meander down the market to the stall where Will fixes old swords.
