- A Pirates of the Caribbean FanFiction -
It Led to Wickedness
Chapter 1: "Timeline"
A/N: Heyyyy to all my beautiful readers (which is I assume is a number close to zero). This is my first ever story for , so... lucky me? I've had this idea in my head for a billion gazillion years and it's how the suave Captain Jack Sparrow and the smexy Angelica Teach met. This first chapter is but a guide as to when we are in the story; you know, just to clear things up a bit. So no actual story, just an explanation. I've tried my very hardest to make this little chapter entertaining so hopefully I've availed. Enjoy! Or not. Bastards... Just kidding. I love all of you. 3 Don't be sad!
Bonjour, mes amis! Aujourd'hui, je vais – oops. Heh. Wrong language. So... awkward.
Okay, on with the show. It is my best assumption that our beloved Jack and Angelica met some time in between the first (The Curse of the Black Pearl) and second (Dead Man's Chest) movies. In the deleted scenes of On Stranger Tides, part of the scene where Jack and Angelica are dancing on the deck of Queen Anne's Revenge is cut out. Jack is (not) seen giving Angelica a ring that is (not) revealed to have been given to her before by said pirate. "First item I ever stole... for someone else," I believe were his exact words. Angelica then explains that she had to trade it to learn the rituals of the fountain, and who oh who might possibly have this information? Oh, I know! Tia Dalma! In movie #2, Jack is shown stealing a ring – the ring – off of said sea goddess's table of stuff. So this must mean that Angelica traded it to Tia Dalma before the second movie which means she met and was heart-broken by Jack before the second movie too. Jack saw the ring, thought of his one true love, and stole it back in hopes of maybe one day meeting with her again or to just have something to glare at whilst he drinks away his sorrows.
Although, note that Angelica and Blackbeard must have been searching for the Fountain of Youth for quite a while before they get Jack to help if this is the case. Even so, this makes it even more likely because after Cap'n Jack's crazy adventures with the menacing yet tragic Davy Jones, Angelica was probably hearing all these epic stories of the captain, which led her to come up with the idea to impersonate him. Who would pass up the chance to sail with the Captain Jack Sparrow?
Anyway, these are my calculations. This story take place after The Curse of the Black Pearl but before Dead Man's Chest.
A/N: Right-o, so you're probably thinking right about now, "Why the hell didn't she just write 'after the first movie but before the second' in the summary?" Well, folks, I'm not one to take the easy way out, and besides – I wanted you to have a bit of understanding as to how I came to that conclusion. By the way, this will most likely be quite a short story because it's my first, but I truly love the characters and have a tendency to write over-excessively, so it might turn out longer than I expected. Kind of like these author's notes!
