AVAST, IT BE YE BIRTHDAY CAP'N BASTARD
Or, as our German friends say, Hertzlichen glückwunsch zum Geburtstag! Sorry i am late in the afternoon with posting this but as is somewhat well-known, my intarwebs at home has gone the way of the dodo and my access is limited to when i manage to drag myself and my laptop to Panera for a coffee. Being as how last night i celebrated your birthday in absentia by drinking many PBRs at a bar called the Speakeasy while playing Penthouse Photo Hunt and beating a monkey with a club (no really), i am a bit late on the uptake...or the up-post, rather.
Ok, so i hope this doesn't make you want to poke out an eye instead of go "yay what a great present", unless of course what you really want for your birthday is an eyepatch and no depth-perception, in which case, poke away! But, i digress. This is one of two things: it is a self-contained gen PotC fic building on my earlier piece, growkin jack a de surgu, and it is also potentially the first chapter in a longer piece that covers from Jack's initial employment by the EITC, the sinking of the Black Pearl and Jack's actual backstory with Cutler Beckett, right up until he gets the compass from Tia Dalma and sets out to find Davy Jones to raise up the sunken wreckage of his ship. So, if you LIKE to think of it as a WIP, please do; there will eventually be more. If not, the piece, like the cheese, stands alone.
The inspiration for this came from the second film's merchandising, specifically a game in which Jack's back-story with Beckett mentions that he once captained the Black Pearl under the flag of the EITC, but he turned pirate and made off with a hold full of the Company's property when he was forced into transporting a cargo he found immoral (rumored to be a hold full of slaves).
