Lovely fanfiction. I wish it ended this way.

I absolutely adore this alternate ending. It is perfect as it is, and yet at the same time I wish there was the whole rest of James and Elizabeth's story together.

I always thought that even Elizabeth would keep her word and this story shows her impetuousness as well as a developing maturity that I think the film forgot. Thank you very much for sharing!

What I hate most about the movies- is that Will Turner's character is written in such a way that I inherently dislike him- and consequently always had to think of Elizabeth as fool of the highest order for giving him the time of day. The ending of the Will/Elizabeth story line was such a let down- who wants to be saddled with a kid and married to a man they only get to see one day every ten years? Nobody, that's who. I always thought Norrington and Sparrow were better suited to her.

What I love most about this fic, is that you give us a realistic view of how this pairing could work. Even the adventure seeking Elizabeth could have made the sensible (and right) choice had she only thought things through a bit more. Nicely done.

So wonderful! This would have been the perfect ending. *dreamy sigh*

For once, Elizabeth has a heart and some measure of responsibility and guilt. So sweet.

Stupid screenwriters... They sacrificed the better, more appropriate and quality ending for the cheap squeals of Orlando fans.

That was very entertaining and amusing.

Well done!

Complete perfection! The best Norribeth one-shot I've read in ages. You really captured the essence of the moment, I could see the entire thing in my head as if it really were a scene from the movie, great work!

Aww, that was great. Lovely descriptions and the ending was just perfect - aside from the no kissing, although having them not kiss was a suitable ending for this fic. LOVED IT!
