Summary
Despite her childhood fantasies of piratical adventures, Elizabeth finds herself thoroughly rocked by the harrowing events of the last several days, and struggles to grapple with the traumatic sights she’s witnessed. One quiet evening on the Dauntless, she confides these feelings in James, who comforts his betrothed with tales of his naval escapades—and some rare exposition about his father.
Set a day after the Battle of Isla de Muerta in COTBP. Canon-divergent (mostly because James and Elizabeth are happily engaged).

Summary
Lord Cutler Beckett’s former almost-betrothed turned pirate wouldn’t have thought she’d ever see him again after seven years apart. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and suddenly, Florence Crowan is part of a scheme designed to bring down both Beckett and the East India Trading Company. Soon she finds herself entangled in a web of deception while memories of a shared past threaten to rise to the surface and feelings that should have stayed buried reawaken.
-
To distract from her real intentions, she said the first thing that came to mind, commenting on the bust. “They say Caesar was one of the greatest strategists of his time.”
In a strained voice, Beckett answered, “Indeed, he was.” His hands, intertwined with each other, twitched in his lap.
“In some ways, you remind me of him.”
“Is that supposed to be a compliment, Miss Crowan?”
“Perhaps,” Florence replied. “And perhaps they will immortalise your face in marble someday.” A shadow of a smirk tugged at the corners of his lips. Of course, he liked to hear that. Cutler Beckett has never been immune to flattery.(set after At World’s End - Beckett is still alive because I said so)

Summary
You are ULDER RAVENGARD.
Your son is completely besotted with his fiancé, but you can’t figure out the appeal. He’s spoiled, and petty, and seems chiefly concerned with draining the Ravengard coffers. You are, frankly, at your wits’ fucking end.
Surely the only solution is to declare an INSANE SECRET WAR on him before he can ruin the MIDWINTER'S EVE BALL. This cannot possibly backfire.
[A choose-your-own-adventure Astarion son-in-law simulator. Happy Holidays! Or possibly the opposite of that.]

Summary
Commodore James Norrington did not believe in ghosts. He did not believe in mermaids, krakens, Davy Jones or his locker of legend. Sailors might be a superstitious lot as a whole, but James had little time for such foolishness. It only got in the way.
But when he comes face-to-face with Elizabeth Swann, who he saw lost to pirates at age 12, James is forced to reconsider his stance on the supernatural. And when she pulls him headlong into conspiracy, and as more that he'd thought gone forever rises from the dead, James begins to question everything else, too.
