Summary: Modern Sparrington AU.
***
“I don’t believe in love at first sight,” James said flatly to the stranger he was dancing with. It was the first time either of them had spoken, and he felt it needed to be stated.
The stranger grinned. “What? Not even a little bit?”
“No.”
“Then this certainly can’t be the first time we’ve met, can it? Because if it was the first time we’ve met then I wouldn’t be in love with you now – which I am – and I wouldn’t know that you love me back – which I do, and I certainly wouldn’t be telling you so even if I did love you. Which I wouldn’t. Assuming you’re right, of course. Savvy?”
“Not in the least,” James said dryly, a smile tugging at his lips. The stranger, though insane, was proving to be remarkably good company. “As I’m sure you’re aware, you have a manner of speaking which makes no sense at all. However, I do appear to know your name. Jack Sparrow.”
“That’s Captain Jack Sparrow,” the stranger corrected automatically, then frowned. “Except that it isn’t. My name’s Avery. Jack Avery, of course, so you were half right, but still – how very interesting. I knew I knew you. Commodore.”
“It’s James. Not Commodore.” Under the circumstances, he decided not to explain that he didn’t believe in reincarnation, either. “I have rum at my place,” he offered instead. “You could join me.”

Date: 2007-09-21 08:23 pm (UTC)Jack Avery? Morgan would better fit the rum, I think. What's Jamie called then, Nelson?
no subject
Date: 2007-09-22 08:13 am (UTC)Really, for Jack I just picked the first name that sounded right - couldn't think of one for James at all, but now you mention it, Nelson might suit him (and of course he ends up with a thing for naval history because of it).
