she's  bright  and  strong;   she  burns  with  a  fervour  that  puts  the  sun  to  shame,   blinding  those  who  dare  but  bask  in  her  glow.   yet  William  treats  her  as  something  delicate  at  times  like  these,   as  he's  one  of  the  few  who  glimpse  beneath  the  veil  of  pirate  royalty  she  sports  with  such  style   —   each  dab  of  a  cut  with  fresh  water,   and  every  caress  of  ointment  over  bruises  brimming  purple,   is  administered  with  utmost  care.

          his  blacksmith's  hands  are  rough,   but  his  disposition  has  always  been  gentle.

          now  he  falters  in  his  motions,   and  a  flickering  smile  appears  on  his  lips,   dark  eyes  raising  up  to  Elizabeth's  golden  face.   “ ...  of  course. ”   the  quiet  admission  is  near  bashful;   perhaps,   he  hasn't  noticed  just  how  carefully  he's  been  treating  her.   ” but  you  won't  find  me  causing  my  wife  any  more  pain  than  she's  already  endured. ”

          it  isn't  as  if  she's  necessarily  been  dragged  into  these  skirmishes   ( she'd  always  taken  to  piracy  far  more  easily  than  himself,   despite  his  heritage ),   but  he'd  hate  to  see  as  much  as  a  wince  caused  by  his  own  heavy  fingers.

        “ We fought a war once before, when I was first made King of the Brethren Court. A war to protect our way of life from those who would see it come to an end. A war against the injustices of Lord Cutler Beckett and men like him, men who saw fit to eliminate anyone who didn’t aid them in their endeavours. If such a war returns to our shores, I see no other choice but to fight. I refuse to allow history to repeat itself. ” [x]

All of you are some of the strongest people I have had the fortune of knowing here on tumblr. Maybe not personally, but I follow each of you and will say honestly that you’re all so talented in your creative works. You may not know it, but I have followed each of you for a long time on various blogs, simply because I cannot get enough. Your commitment to your muses, your winning personalities. Coming across such a great amount of people who deserve such love, it’s a welcoming light in the craziness of this world. Thank you all for being who you are!! And remember you are perfect just as you are, never change for someone, and stick to your heart! Someone really cares about you. <3

She seems so innocent, hasn’t yet learned the ways of the court so sickly sweet honey coats each words be it false or no. All of them enter with souls as pure as the handkerchiefs they carry to whisper most pressing secrets against, silk tells no tales. Neither do dead men. Now they only need worry of who listens in on sinful confessions– who’s beloved have you fallen for little swan? Queen finds entertainment in the fearful eyes of young ladies of the court, the blush dancing across the apples of their cheeks just ready to be plucked. ❝ Do you have eyes for someone special? I swear I won’t tell – it’ll be our secret for an eternity. ❞
