Thank for such an beautiful story!

That was beautiful. You really are a fantastic writer. Great job!

::whew!:: Wow. Intense. Wonderful story. I liked that he had descendants who continued waiting for him - that he wasn't completely alone.
Thank you for sharing.

I read the first few chapters of your "How Things Could Have Been" fic, and I gotta say, this one was WAY better in the spelling/grammar department.

Anyways, this was actually quite a good fic. Excellent portrayal of Will, and the changing world. The only recommendations I'd make is:

1. Let Bill be a constant presence in the story. That way it won't seem like as a surprise when you mention his "retirement", like it did for me.

2. The last paragraph seemed like a "get the last word in" attempt. I think it would be better if you finished when Will's heart stopped beating. If you really wanted the contents of that in, try to put it before the paragraph that described Will's death.

It also seems like you used less dialogue than you should. That's probably my own preference though.

Very nice job here.

Wow, that was really good. The only thing I didn't like is that there are still pirates nowadays.

I can't stop crying. This is all your fault.

You wrote an amazing story :)

A great story. Very good.

When I read the summary I had no idea this story would be so sad and poor will he's all lonely. I feel so sorry for the poor guy. *Sniffs* I really freaking do. Gosh dangit and I promised myself I wouldn't cry...

Your story was so amazing the emotion was dead on this is probably on my top 5 favorites! Great job!

You said in your bio that you considered this to be angsty-well I don't think so. Well-written and melancholy, but not completely angsty-it was wrenching to see that Will could not know his own immediate family as well as he wishes because of his duty, and the line about watching in fear for his son showing up is so very Will and so very like a father. Also it was saddening to see how Will's task in time isn't really needed anymore, and how he and his crew have been displaced by time and circumstances until the last of them give up fighting 'the long battle', as Galadriel in LOTR puts it. It also seems really fitting that the last crewman on board should be Will's own father. But in the end, you gave Will the happy ending he deserved, and that's what counts. One only hopes that everyone he's lost and loved over the centuries is there waiting with a big party and lots of rum. :D

im sitting here reading this in my break at uni and people are staring at me cos im almost in tears... that's was beautiful... just... absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful. im gonna go have a cry now. thnakyou so much for writing this.

Wow. That's all I can really say. Just wow. This was amazing. Beautiful and heartbreaking, all at once. I liked the idea of all the future generations of Turners continuing to meet Will every ten years for his One Day. And the ending? Tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. Great work.

THAT WAS SO INCREDIBLY SWEET!

SO INCREDIBLY SAD!

Geez, that was AMAZING!

Please write more soon, I loved this!

*cries*

I completely adore this. It's so sad! And beautiful and perfect and wow. I always did prefer Jack to Will (though I don't like Jack/Elizabeth) but this is fantastic. I don't read much PotC fanfic, I might have to start now haha.

-Huffie x

That was simply beautiful - very touching and realistic, an exquisite piece of work. I love the symbolism of the three roses, and how Will feels, etc. I love it!

ani.

omg, this is amazing! good job!
