Summary
After the horrors of the Isla de Muerta, James charges his officers with looking after Elizabeth while he tends to matters aboard the Dauntless. Their efforts are less than subtle, however, and once aware of this agenda, an indignant Elizabeth devises a plan to get back at her fiancé—and enlists the aid of Theodore Groves, James’ closest friend.
Set a few days after the Battle of Isla de Muerta in COTBP, on the journey back to Port Royal. Canon-divergent (mostly because, once again, Elizabeth and James are happily engaged).

Summary
“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
James Norrington is Theodore Groves' dearest friend, but after Theo declines to join the hunt for Jack Sparrow that ultimately results in a cataclysmic hurricane off Tripoli, he is wracked with guilt and grief over James' presumed death. Devastated, Theo shifts his allegiance to the East India Trading Company, serving under Lord Cutler Beckett. The work is simple enough, and Theo endures it in a phantom imitation of his former self, though he cannot shake the punishing remorse he carries over the commodore's death.
That is, of course, until a familiar―if not disheveled―figure is escorted into Beckett's office one day, in possession of a pouch he claims holds the heart of Davy Jones.

Summary
Despite her childhood fantasies of piratical adventures, Elizabeth finds herself thoroughly rocked by the harrowing events of the last several days, and struggles to grapple with the traumatic sights she’s witnessed. One quiet evening on the Dauntless, she confides these feelings in James, who comforts his betrothed with tales of his naval escapades—and some rare exposition about his father.
Set a day after the Battle of Isla de Muerta in COTBP. Canon-divergent (mostly because James and Elizabeth are happily engaged).
