    Summary

    Captain Hector Barbossa, still haunted by the choices of his past, is joined on his perilous quest by those from his past whom he has come to love. He is driven not just by a heathen goddess's promise of healing, but by a gnawing sense that this journey is his final chance at redemption.

    Everything comes with a price, and in the end, he must choose: seize the power he’s always chased… or make the ultimate sacrifice to save the only woman who ever saw the man beneath the monster.

    A tale of love found late, debts paid in full, and the legacy of a pirate who must learn to put those he loves ahead of himself.

    **Picking up at the end of the second Pirates film, filling in missing parts, completely ignoring others, and using creative license to re-work bits of films 2 through 5.

    ***I've picked this back up, reworked some awkward bits, restructured the chapters, and am currently hoping to actually finish this as of December 2025. We shall see if I manage it inbetwixt the ever increasing nightmares of life. Please beware that this fic will be explicit and raunchy as all get out. Eventually.
