Summary: A songfic, set to, well, I think it's called Hallelujah. The version I know is by Rufus Wainwright, but I know he's not the original artist. That's all I'm saying.

Author's Note: It's short, and I plan on elaborating much more, if people like the ideas I have behind it. So, lemme know what you think. I will continue my story later, I promise. Christmas has just been hectic as anything. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday! ::Grin::

I've heard there was a secret chord

That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do you?

It goes like this

The fourth, the fifth

The minor fall, the major lift

The baffled king composing Hallelujah

Two bodies stretched, arched. Canopy, gauze and faltering. Dark met with
light, and melted pretenses away. Dark fingers playing light skin,
yielding harmonious noises. Rough lips to lips, skin on skin. Holy
beauty.
Jack hadn't been expecting this; his love welled up inside of him for
the beautiful man sprawled out before him. The trust, the compassion. It
was glorious and he wanted his lover to feel the same.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

A cry, stifled at first, and then nurtured, a cry to the Heavens with
gratitude and joy. It grew in volume and strength as they stared into
each other's eyes. Deep wells of love, passion, comfort.

Your faith was strong but you needed proof

You saw her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you

She tied you to a kitchen chair

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Jack knew how he had felt for a long time. He knew he belonged in this
world. It wasn't until Will, however, that he realized his capacity for
love. Will was magnificently open and truthful. Will strengthened Jack,
made him more real than he had ever been. As they lay on the silk
sheets, arms and leg intertwined, they whispered their praise.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Maybe I've been here before

I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew you

I've seen your flag on the marble arch

Love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Will had known love before, but not like this. This overwhelming feeling
was more than he could handle. Jack was his. The pirate who belonged
only to himself had become his, and Will loved him so much more for it.
Their caresses grew passionate and desperate as time wore on. Love
breeds pain, and for a man in love with a pirate, that pain can cut
deep.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

There was a time you'd let me know

What's really going on below

But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you

The holy dark was moving too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Jack had become distant, afraid to tread the deep waters of this love.
He was growing older and more vulnerable. His lifestyle was catching up
to him. He couldn't bear to break Will in the end. But Will noticed his
withdrawal. Their conversations grew terse and painful.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Maybe there's a God above

And all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

And it's not a cry you can hear at night

It's not somebody who's seen the light

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Jack's demise brought more pain to Will than he thought bearable. No
longer was his lover by his side, holding him, comforting him. The
legacy Jack had left was all Will possessed of him now. That, and his
tattered hat. Clutching it to his chest, Will approached the bow of the
ship. As he fell forward, he whispered a "Hallelujah" to the stars.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
