Title: Freedom
Rating: G
Pairing: James Norrington/Jack Sparrow
Prompt: "Norrington and a happy memory"
They used to stand here together, the sun burning down on them, the rain soaking them to the skin, the wind tearing at their hair and clothes, the silent, black ocean spreading out around them under the light of the stars.
Five years, and it's still hard to believe that Jack should be dead, that the crew mean him now with their: "Aye aye, Captain!"
Norrington breathes deeply, gripping the helm tighter. Jack showed him what freedom is, and as long as he has the Pearl, Jack will never be truly gone.
In a way, Jack is the Pearl.
