I love it, it's sad and romantic and OMG jack has a daughter! Wow that is a first. Hope they can save Ana

I can't wait for the next chapter. But i do want Will and Elizabeth to get back together again (I know im probably not the first to say this). I love how you made evrything so exiting and full of twists.

I have very, very mixed reviews on this fic.

I would first put out there that it is quite well-written. The detail is nice, the different views are incorporated quite well, and you guys are great with knowing when a good time to end a chapter/POV is.

However...

While I understand that the intention is not for it to be Will/Bell and it's just for dramatic purpose, you /do/ seem to be over-doing it quite a bit. As a Willabeth shipper myself - having watched the movies and written countless versions of their lives together - I most certainly don't think that Will would so easily give in to Bell, and it has been proven time and time again that no magic could keep Will and Elizabeth apart. As such, I think that how he fell so intensely in love with Bell is not only out of character, but probably upsetting to many readers (including myself). Even if Will and Elizabeth do end up together in the end, it won't be the love that won out against the odds - it'll be the love that took a short break, went through an affair, and then returned, and they lived happily ever after.

The plot you have going is a brilliant one, though the twin-binding thing did get redundant, and I certainly hope that you will continue to right. I don't mean to be insulting in any way, and I have the utmost respect for the fact that you would go out on a limb so much for an non-cannon character, but even I was tempted several times to simply close the window and stop reading when it seemed like Will and Bell had become that and only that - the rest of the world be damned. I think, as well, that even if he had been forced into loving her, he would have maintained the memory of loving Elizabeth and would most definitely not have left her.

I look forward to the next installment, and I don't demand/suggest/even necessarily want you to take my advice, but I rather think it would be reassuring to both new readers that might be put off by a not-so-Willabeth Willabeth fic as well as readers that have been reading for quite some time but find the story to be lacking the spark they were looking for. No matter how captivating the writing or invigorating the plotline, when given a choice, a reader will never tolerate reading something they don't enjoy for long, especially not when there are no hints as to an ending that they would also enjoy. Some foreshadowing (that preferably did not involve Will, Bell, and five children) would definitely be a literary element to consider including.

I hope you update soon because I'm hook! I'm enjoying all of it, especially the Jack, Ana, and Bea parts. I'm a J/A fan so I'm really interested on what's going to happen to the Sparrow family. Can't wait to read more.

This is torture for Willabeth fans and I am one. I hate Belle and I hope that stupid dream of her DO NOT come true, the one about the 5 children. And is Will seriously feeling that he cant live without her. Eeven though it is torture, I trust you when you say it is Willabeth and I have to admit I like this kind of stories so it is a great story. Update soon!

When do we get rid of that annoying Bell chick? She's up there on my list of most annoying characters :D.

Wow, intriguing chapter. I have to admit to not being too happy about Will and Bell but it fits the story. I look forward to seeing how it all resolves itself. :)

again i say "I HATE BELL!" and i also hate Will at the moment. gosh, i'm having serious doubts about this being willabeth. and me being the die hard willabeth fan that i am, reading this chapter was pure torture! please please it doesn't get worse than this right? right right?

You guys so love to torture poor Will and Elizabeth. LOL Anyway good chapter. It is hard to read of Will being with Bell but I am comforted by the fact he still worries about Elizabeth and is a bit jealous too. :) Keep it up.

Bell has got to go...for good...

Oh, no, Lizzy's prego? That's not going to make things awkward AT ALL. :P

Update soon!

Bah...Isabella just needs to go away quick...

Wow, how sad for Elizabeth and everyone. If Will's feelings change because of the binding how will they straighten everything out. Very emotional. But now we must save little William before he is lost to the Dutchman. I am very interested to see how this all works out. Good job. :)

oh crap, i'm really feeling it for elizabeth. gosh i love this story, but i HATE isabella! shes making me so mad right now, even though it wasn't her fault. arg, i just hope will and her binding doesn't last for long. please update soon!

yiikes this is getting not so nice! and forever isnt really forever forever, is it? cause that would be lame and uncool and just very unpleasant and Bell should just go away. ahh. tricky stuff. but you guys are amazing and will always make things awesome for me :)
