Important A/N: I decided to collect all my responses to the challenges into one fic, so as to not clutter everything up. Many thanks to those who reviewed these drabbles when they stood alone; unfortunately, I lost those reviews, but I am very grateful to anyone who took the time to comment, and I do apologize for mucking up anyone who favourited the originals. Thanks again!

A/N: So the lovely Nytd, who has been gracious enough to review pretty much all of my little stories here, inspired me to check out the Broken Compass forum, which I found quite to my liking. I also decided it was high time I started doing these 100-word challenge drabbles, since they're infinitely useful – sometimes the little plot bunnies evolve into big plot bunnies, or sometimes the drabble defuses a raging muse who bangs away inside your head at three in the morning when you have to work at seven. And thus my first challenge response is dedicated to Nytd. I hope she (and all of you) will both excuse this heinously long author's note and enjoy the fic!
Prompt: "Egregious"
A Matter of Hats
By: Sinnamon Spider
"Really, Liz, it's a question of style. How one looks is of utmost importance to a pirate; after all, we're so often judged on appearance alone." He waves a be-ringed hand in her direction.
She looks down at her clothes, spreading her hands helplessly. "I really couldn't help what Sao Feng dressed me in, Jack."
He snorts. "Well, Sao Feng always has had a terrible fashion sense." He squints at her, his expression still disapproving. "At least do us a favour and lose the hat, love?"
She clamps her hands over the hat. "No. I like it. You lose your hat."
His slack jaw and outraged eyes say everything necessary about this most egregious suggestion.
