Some Other Fool Across the Ocean Years Ago by [personal profile] aris_tgd - James Norrington/Jack Sparrow, Anamaria/James Norrington - This is a wonderfully complex series of three stories set in the modern day that has reminded me again exactly why I fell in love with these characters and this world, back when the first movie came out. Some of the characters have been drinking from the fountain of youth, others are reincarnated modern versions of themselves, but all are to some degree possessed of more modern sensibilities, allowing for some deft critique of the colonialist nature of the source canon. I particularly love her James, a modern-day computer programmer with no memory of his past life, who for his entire adult life has been dreaming about a maddening and enticing pirate captain. The modern setting and the modern James, allow for a new perspective on Jack and James' relationship, one that I feel really gets to the heart of what both brings them together and pulls them apart.
