For All Time II

Another drabble for the "Down Time" Challenge at Black Pearl Sails. This one developed out of a conversation with erinrua. Elizabeth Swann this time.


When she had come to him in that cave, saving his life, he did not dismiss her help. Did not lock her up for her safety or failed trust. He fought by her side, shoulder to shoulder.

When he'd risked all to save a good man from death, she'd stood by his side, adding her influence, so he'd not face the penalty alone.

Now the battle has shifted. The delicately edged word. The significant raised eyebrow. The unwritten rules.

But wherever life takes them, from drawing room to drawn swords, down time and for all of eternity, she will have his back and he will have hers.
