Title: And Ye Shall Walk in Silk Attire
Author: fabu
Characters: Jack Sparrow/Elizabeth Swann/Will Turner
Prompt: 25. Kink
Rating: NC-17
Length: 424 words
Brief summary: For kink, this is sweet and charming and funny. It's totally in-character, and totally plausible, and relies heavily on implication rather than porn. And I kinda want to use the word 'adorable', except that this is a kink rec, and I probably shouldn't.

Title: black eyes
Author: zarahemla
Characters: Jack Sparrow
Prompt: 37. Make-up
Rating: PG-13
Length: 1, 594 words
Brief summary: We all want to know why Jack Sparrow started wearing eyeliner. Even if we don't want to admit it. And this is a wonderful way for it to have happened -- there's whores and giggling and kisses and Jack being wily and brawls and winking!

A Darker Destiny Besides; The Play's the Thing

Title: A Darker Destiny Besides
Author: monimala
Characters: James Norrington/Anamaria
Prompt: 41. Guilt
Rating: PG-13
Length: 510 words
Brief summary: This is a lovely piece, with serious historical allusions and some really good character notes. This is a pairing with so little support in canon (were these two ever on the screen at the same time?), and some really interesting things done in fanon, and this is a fab addition to the list.

Title: The Play's the Thing
Author: Sirocco
Characters: Jack Sparrow/Will Turner
Prompt: 40. Confession
Rating: PG-13
Length: 10, 260 words
Brief summary: I have a major weakness for an educated Jack, and stories in which Jack tells stories. This piece pushes both those buttons hard. Will is written well, too, and the way the story unfolds, with both of them discovering new things about each other, makes me want to eavesdrop. (Note: the page is white text on black.)
