Title: Letters
Rating: PG
Pairing: Jack Sparow/James Norrington
Whenever the servant brings him his mail, Admiral Norrington feels excited like a child at Christmas. Sometimes, months go by without a word, but eventually, there always is a letter.
He loves reading through them in the evening, struggling with Jack's almost illegible scrawl. He will laugh about Jack's tricks, worry when reading how close he was to danger, and shake his head at the obviously exaggerated accounts of Jack's genius. The few hesitant words of love, he cherishes as his biggest treasure.
Then, one day, the letter is short, the handwriting unfamiliar.
I'm sorry, it says in the end.
