Oops! Forgot the slash!

[ealgylden]

Okay, so for ages now, lots of folks have been expecting PotC to be the next big slashdom, or for it to at least provide us with lots of smutty little Will/Jack (or Orli/Johnny, whatever) PWPs for our delectation and delight, right?. I was too, I admit it. I mean, pirates! Gayer than the flowers in spring! Except... not so much, this time. Not for me, anyway.

There were a couple of subtexty moments, particularly near the end, but in general, I really believed that Will loved Elizabeth and Jack... loved the Black Pearl. Truly, madly and deeply. So while I know some of you will pounce on Will and Jack and slash them blind, and while I do support you fully on that, I guess I won't be joining you. I couldn't break up Jack and the Black Pearl.

But if you really want subtext, keep your eye on the wooden-eyed pirate and his stout companion. Love love love! Or Jack and Barbossa, but again, the Pearl. Wait, wait... threesome!
