Various PotC Drabbles

by lordhellebore

I'll use this to upload all of my unrelated PotC drabbles. They're not an ongoing story; I simply find it silly to upload each seperately, since they're so short. Gen, het, and slash in various pairings.

5. A New World

Title: A New World
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Jack Sparrow/James Norrington
Prompt: "Cold"

Admiral Norrington is sitting at his desk, staring out over the sea through the window. He's over sixty now, and the world has changed.

There are no more pirates in the Caribbean; the last few defiant ships that had resisted longer than most others have long been hunted down. He himself participated; it was his duty to king and country, but he doesn't feel proud. He can't think of the triumph and promotion resulting form it, only of Jack's eyes boring into his all the way through his execution.

The world has changed: it is safer, cleaner, and unbearably cold.
