Gift ficlet

Oh well. While I'm waiting for the (reads) unpronouncable drugs to wear off... gift-fic, for [livejournal.com profile] lizardspots, who shall be a very fine doctor someday of the tolerably sane variety.

She is currently in the... (checks GPS fandom locator)... PotC fandom, so a one-time only PotC ficlet, just for her:


Jack Sparrow was marooned on an island.

Fortunately, this was no ordinary sort of island.

Oh yes, there was a slight problem with a lack of water. A minor issue, that.

And then the lack of shelter was depressing in the frequent squalls. Though there was a single palm tree that acted as a reasonable anchor when the waves came over the island. A dratted nuisance.

But all in all it was a decent sort of island, having two things to speak for it. First was a regular supply of rum. The second was a regular supply of ships, carrying rum.

Any island, no matter how desolate, becomes a paradise under the right circumstances. Which in this case was the ability to leave such paradise and watch it disappear behind the waves through bleary, rum-addled eyes.

The end.

(Paying for one's passage, by the way, in said rum.)

(Truly a paradise, I tell you.)

Well, at least your sense of humor hasn't abandoned you in your addled state.

At least it makes me smile as I head off to the library for a few more dreary hours of French :)

I confess I wrote this in chat last night, in a non-addled state. This afternoon writing was quite beyond me.

Only for you and your much-lauded sanity. :D
