Chapter Text
It starts from duplicitous gratitude
Plus a compass that leads to desire
Smirks and snide remarks, carefully construed
Each clever quip adds sparks to the fire
Their rivalry grows through heated debate
Yet still contains hints of grudging respect
As the two men come to appreciate
Matching wits with the other’s intellect
Reluctantly, they form an alliance
But neither one expects their truce to last
For both know the price of non-compliance
With the laws previous monarchs have passed
Jack and James can do whatever they please
Norrington and Sparrow lack such luxuries
