Title: Unreachable
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Governor Swann/Captain Barbossa

They didn't part on friendly terms, and back then, he'd wished Weatherby death more than once in his hurt and rage.

Later, he convinced himself that he didn't care – decades had passed, spent with fighting, rum, and pretty women. An aging governor had no place in his life, just like a young sailor hadn't had one in an aspiring politician's.

But as he sees him now in his little boat, gliding past them, all that doesn't matter. He doesn't hear Elizabeth's wailing, doesn't see anything but him.

In these moments of weakness, Barbossa wishes he had never been brought back.
