Anonymous asked: Honestly the thought alone of one day being able to read a fic about Elizabeth that's written by you is a blessing and will keep my heart warm

Oh my God you’re too nice.  Trust me, I too want to read a fic written by me about Elizabeth Swann, but I have no ideas that aren’t five pages of caps-lock-littered weeping about Elizabeth as the Pirate King, who keeps her bargain with the magic of the Dutchman by carrying the earth in a tiny glass vial around her neck, and who goes out and rages over the seas with her ships like a hurricane, and who raises her child on the waves as free and wild as a tern, and who crosses paths with Jack Sparrow and wreaks havoc and kisses him on the cheek and grins wickedly every time, and who catches men close when she kills them, slides a blade into their heart and a letter into their pocket and whispers in their ear “Take this message to my husband, dear sailor.”

I mean…that is what I would have to say.  Pretty much incoherent and plotless.  It would all be messages in dead-men-as-bottles, children raised to crawl the rigging of ships and charge wildly into trouble, and Elizabeth over it all, Pirate King and old friend of Calypso and wife of the Dutchman’s captain and comrade/sister/rival/unattainable love of Captain Jack Sparrow, she who is beloved of the sea.

If that appeals, hit me up with a prompt and I will deliver.

Tags: potc ELIZABETH SWANN pirates of the caribbean GOD I LOVE ELIZABETH SWANN SO MUCH no i'm serious i have a lot to say and none of it is coherent and none of it is plot although i have vague notions of a thing where all three of them are functionally immortal? like elizabeth is granted immortality by calypso as a gift/curse/reward/punishment (calypso is complicated and changeable and mercurial as the sea at storm and her reason changes daily) (elizabeth doesn't call it any of those things) (elizabeth bares her teeth and calls it nothing and in the depths of her mind she thinks that it is her due) (elizabeth swann is selfish and steely and not sorry for anything she has done) (she is not sorry for this either) and will keeps command of the dutchman to keep seeing her (they work out a more regular visiting policy after the death of their son) (a life for a life) (the boy died old and loved and happy and they miss him but do not mourn him for what in that life is to be mourned) and jack finds that all his searching for immortal life was needless because jack is a pirate and the last pirate and the best pirate (save perhaps the pirate king) and there are some things that the world is determined to preserve and the noble trickster archetype is one and it's been a thousand years and elizabeth doesn't sail a ship anymore she leads a small fleet of starships the dutchman is a ruined old battlecruiser that drifts out of the black to claim those lost in space (sometimes a nebula flares electric green in the passing of a ship's ports and the passengers say that a soul's returned) and jack doesn't scramble through riggings anymore and he misses the feel of the sail canvas under his hands but... oh he's always wanted to explore and now he has a galaxy at his fingers bring him that event horizon
