cooking up new ways for esme to die in canon
#i dont stay committed to ANYTHING on this blog but idc#my current thought: barbossa betraying esme to the navy when the two crews are looking for the cursed gold (thereby significantly increasin#the pearl's crew / his own share)#arranging for jack to be aboard when it happens on a cute lil date with his gf. probably compensated handsomely for the capture of two#captains with a sizeable price on their heads#and i do think lawrence would be involved. maybe also a younger james. (rather see a navy ship at the bottom of the ocean etc etc)#jack obv escapes / survives with the piece of eight which would piss off hector SO much#and tbqh i think barbossa could feign innocence in the ordeal for a good while. considering he's on good terms with jack & esme in the book#and i think him and her would bond over being Gentlemen Pirates with fancy dinners and feathered hats et all#but at the same time. there's not a lot of pieces in that chest for two full-sized pirate crews esp because esme's crew is larger#and jack's romantic interest in esme / his devotion to seeing her get her share / and POSSIBLY even a wavering commitment to actually takin#the chest for themselves (given that esme has an interest in appeasing her ancestors and seeing them at rest as well as knowing abt and#wanting to avoid said curse)#would give barbossa motivation to do what he needed to do to serve himself and his crew first#jack won't separate from her / prioritize the crew over her. so he'll get rid of her himself.#ooc.
