I'm so happy for them!

Dang, no one walked in on them. that woulda ruined the sleepy mood, but would have been funny.
Holy crap, James is hotter when he's mad.

If they're nude... and in Norrie's bed...
Ok, I'm calling it.

Well my, my! This is refreshingly original, and it has managed to suck me in at the first chapter! I love a story with symbolism and depth, both of which are scarce on this site. James was one of those guys who couldn't win and died trying and I really liked his character so I'm glad I noticed this story while I was looking for something to read. 32 chapters should keep me busy for a while :D

I'm always weary of OC Fics, but boy am I glad I clicked the link! This was so good and Aysa really fit into the universe well.
I'm also glad James got a good ending. I'm always a sucker for Norrington DX

Beautiful story. Simply beautiful.

Wonderful! I loved every last bit of it! I really the historic notes; I'm a history majorn so so all the little tidbits are really cool to me. And i love the mirror thing. I have read myths with this in them. I hope you don't mind if I use the mirror idea in my own fanfic; it's such an interesting element that i want to try my own twist on it, it's ok. I wouldn't want you to think I'm stealing your thing, though. -Bonnie Celt

Your amazing story was one of the best Norrington/OC fanfics I have read! I really loved it! It was well-written, the plot was awesome and ingenious ( I liked especially the fact that you created a story beyond the movies and not just add an OC in the movies' plot) and the representation of James and Ayse was incredible! Bravo! Thank you for writing it!

I really like your story, and you write very well, but...Ayse seems like a Mary Sue to me. You may want to take the Universal Mary Sue Litmus test for her, and all the mentions of her being a "perfect, beautiful, good girl" are a little much at times.

This is my (at least) second time reading this story and I'm still dazed how unique and brilliant it is:)

LOVE IT! I loved every sentence. So much humor and drama and excitement! I am sad about Gillete though, he was one of my favorites, but at least his missus got a happy ending. And Lt. Groves, I'm glad an author gave him some attention, poor bloke was needing it.

Hm...favorite parts...Norrie's reaction to hearing they'd have to hunt down Jack was priceless. And when Ayse cut her hair-her reaction was exactly the same as my mom's when I first sheered all of mine off. I think she still harbor's wishes I will allow it to grow past my ears.

I am sad this epic has drawn to a close, but it was so very very good. I especially loved the facts and tidbits at the bottom of some chapters.

Ok, enough ramblings. Time to troll your page for more awesome stories.

Hi there! I was searching earnestly for a decent James fic and stumbled upon this gem!

Well written, definitely felt period, and I must say that while some of the sailing bits were a bit wrong, I definitely appreciate the fact that you were willing to research the subject as heavily as you did! Because fanfiction tends to be temporary and of course unofficial, people don't tend to put much effort into it, but your dedication is clear and because of that a wonderful story has blossomed! Thank you for this!

All the best!

I loved it,this is the best PotC fics I've ever read. Actually this is one of the best fics on this page I've read.

Honestly,I would like to kidnap you,lock you in my closet and force you to keep writing forever:D

*gives you a carrot/muffin/whatever you prefer*

I have to admit this wasn't what I was expecting, in fact it is better than what I was expecting. You did a good job with the story telling and making plot that is believable and fits with the universe. Then there is the fact that you did research into the era, that by itself should make you a damn good author. Thank you for writing such a exciting tale ~GraysonPaladin

Okay first off I feel so incredibly guilty for taking so long to read more of your story. All I can say really is that life in general as gotten busy of late.

I like how you placed Ayse in what I suppose would be more or less the middle class of the time. I feel like (and admit to being guilty of this at times too) characters tend to either be put as either members of the aristocracy or the poor. It might even create some interesting situations. She has the ease of money but not the social status of the lords and ladies. Then again she can probably get away with more than they could too. :-P

Poor James having to wait around in Ayse's bedroom all day. I honestly don't know if someone in her position would be spending much time in her bedroom during the day but I doubt it and I know I, for one, would be so bored waiting for someone to come back just so I could watch them. I can't imagine just hanging around with literally nothing to occupy my time all day.

I'm impressed with your knowledge of all the pieces of clothing ladies of the day would have been wearing. That's another thing I feel like people don't realize, especially pockets being separate from the dress itself. Then again, maybe more people know those sorts of things than I think.

"Cousin, your imagination has inconvenienced me..." Oh, dear I'm sorry the next time you see someone in your looking glass don't bother waking me. :-P This section amused me so I thought I'd throw my response in here.

Good chapter. I hope they continue to get along and also get better acquainted. It's a cute little romance they've got going so far. One thing that did confuse me though...why didn't she see James in the mirror earlier? Was it that she just wasn't looking at the mirror or something like that? Overall, it was good though. Hopefully I can read more soon!
