Fic: Crossing the Bar (19b/?)

Author: Honorat
Rating: PG-13 for language
Characters: Sparrow, Anamaria, the crew of the Black Pearl
Pairing: Jack/Anamaria somewhat. Jack/Pearl most definitely
Disclaimer: The characters of PotC! She’s taken them! Get after her, you feckless pack of ingrates!

Summary: On the Black Pearl Jack Sparrow is on the hunt for a way to get out of an awkward situation with his and Anamaria’s dignity intact. The Muse made me do this! I claim no responsibility. This has nothing to do with the plot, but do you think I could get it out of my head once the question was raised? I mean this had to happen and it had to be a problem, but why couldn’t I have ignored the possibility like ninety-nine percent of fanfic writers? Consider this a deleted scene that is being included because it’s written now and I might as well post it. Every once in awhile, I have to write some raving sailing. Norrington has finally got the Black Pearl trapped. Jack is bound to do something crazy, but will it be the last thing he does?
