Author: Luvvycat
Art:
shytan Characters/Pairings: Young Will Turner/Young Elizabeth Swann, Weatherby Swann; Elizabeth Swann Turner/Jack Sparrow (epilogue)
Rating: PG13/Soft R (at most!)
Warnings: Flashbacks to violent events in Prologue; minor sexual suggestiveness in Epilogue; everything else in-between is fairly mild.
Summary: After young Will Turner is rescued from the sea, Governor Swann (at Elizabeth’s suggestion) instals him as a servant in the Swann household. Despite their differences in station, the children find that they have much in common, and become fast friends. For two years the bond between Will and Elizabeth grows stronger, until an act of innocent impulse threatens to end that friendship and separate the pair forever. Based on my previously-posted drabbles
"Skirmish",
"Resurrected", and
"The Gift". The J/E Epilogue is set six years after the conclusion of AWE.
A/N: Dedicated with my most profuse thanks and boundless admiration to my beta extraordinaire
geekmama (whose invaluable input greatly improved this tale), and to
pearlseed , whose comments to me regarding "Skirmish" inspired the Epilogue.
P.S. -- The incident that occurred "Christmas last" (referred to by Mathilde in Chapter 3, and Will in Chapter 4) was documented in my previous Young Will/Elizabeth fic
"The Christmas Stranger".
