SPARRABETH CHRONICLES #32

We are a club of die-hard Sparrabeth fan fiction readers and authors who simply love this fandom. Every other week we will continue to present our selection of vintage, Sparrabeth fanfiction. We each have our own style, taste, and various interpretations—but one thread we all have in common is that we love Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swann as a dynamic team! So far, we have made it through THIRTY-TWO weeks and going strong! So, we hope you are enjoying the tales we select, and having a great time discovering a new story every other week….as much as we love bringing them to you! Feel free to let us know how we are doing, of if you have any suggestions! Also, if you would like to join us, please drop anyone of us a line here at Tumblr! @apirateslifeforme123​, @princesspenelopenerfherder, @colorblindly, or me @orionredstarr. The ONLY prerequisite is that you love Sparrabeth―that is it!

Chapters: 14 vignettes/fics interrelated/standalone Author’s DISCLAIMER: owned by the mouse in the concrete jungle, but they live in our hearts

A/N: Post-AWE erotica, set after the events of Fiat Lux (posted at my journal) but reads as a stand-alone, Jack’s POV. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CRITIQUE on "Desiderata – What’s Past is Prologue": WHY I selected this piece:

I have read just about everything Djarum99 / @thesandreckoner has ever written on Sparrabeth! Naturally, I admit to being prejudiced because I admire her skill and love her stories! I am positive that her chronicles will be exciting and contagious for you too! There is a raw genius to her craft; translated through spot-on characterizations, exclusive literary style and structure, and her intriguing plots. I love the sensuality too, the chemistry and spice which Jack and Elizabeth’s portrayals are so tangible, they become very real people in every sense.

I admire Djarum99’s pacing as well. Even the pictographic palate of each story is amazing. For instance, this series or block of ‘fics’ can be read as standalone literary pieces—or strung together as chapters within one longer fiction. I loved that concept instantly! Not only because it was unique and imaginative, but each vignette, chapter or story, has its own ‘flavor’ or ‘hue’. They are all immensely lyrical, and quite often the ornamentation of written passages morph into beautiful poetry! I am not sure if that was done intentionally, or if that was one of muse’s mysterious gifts which came naturally to Djarum99/ @thesandreckoner for being a truly talented artist! I must ask her! These scenes are painted so lavishly that you can vividly ‘see’ them. Superb dexterity in writing skill and magical story telling…delightful fun

Here in this instance, no matter your perception of length with these “stories” or “vignettes”—some people may view these as individual short stories, or one long Fanfiction. It makes no difference what your preference is, because each chapter is condensed; chock-full of different nuances so they will read quickly. As you become drawn in and vested, a bizarre quirk takes place….you are compelled to devour them all to the point of wanting more! So, no matter your choice—read a few or read all, they are ingeniously fashioned so that you come out a winner either way!

Whichever way you tackle these chapters/vignettes, I grant you this; all are teaming with sentiment, emotion, and all the Sparrabeth ‘feels’ we love and crave! These are shrewd anecdotes woven together for boundless entertainment and presented with panache! And as always, Djarum99/ @thesandreckoner is an author who has a flair for sensual script that is just outright enchanting, provocative and robust! Each segment is rated for content, and not recommended for the faint hearted or very young. Please keep that fact in mind before proceeding! 

A short tease or EXCERPT FROM Desiderata – What’s Past Is Prologue

He watches her in sleep, a guilty pastime made an irony in light of what they do together in waking hours. Midnight gives her silver, touching the curves of her face and the joy of her body with moth’s wings. Dawn gives her gold, outlining his love with the spare delicacy of a monk’s illuminating hand. He breathes her in, the scent she has brought to his bed, wanting to draw her spirit into his lungs, hold it for a moment, release his own to her.

Jack Sparrow has a mandate, an obligation, the word a foreign taste on his tongue and a sound like giddy angel’s song in his ears. He wants this woman to experience life as he knows it, draw her into its swirling sea of sensation and discovery. Wants her to defy reality as convention paints it, see beyond the surface, walk with him into new worlds. Wants to know what she sees there, what new doors she can reveal to him. He wants to be her guide, follow where she leads, know who he will be, with her.

He remembers the first time she put her hands on him. No longer a sheltered girl’s porcelain, but a woman’s strong brown instruments, playing over his skin and making something new of the runes life has drawn there. Remembers the first taste of her on his fingers, sea salt and sweet sunlight, remembers his mouth at her breast seeking redemption. The strength of her surrounding him, magic heat and the promise of creating a mystery that was the sum of them both, and more than that. She had laughed, holding him in those hands, circling him, stroking, teasing him with her own anticipation and delight. Elizabeth, his Lizzie, pirate empress, his equal and novitiate. The weeks since she had spoken her choice, come to his bed, had been a revelation of both her naiveté and her boldness. Somewhere in between lay trust of him, of what they were together, a treasure he’d never thought to hold. He was not yet certain he deserved it.
