Rum to: The Cabin Boys! Last one. I mean it.


"Come, brother," Stephen said, very like a dream, like a the end of a nightmare. Jack remembered nothing else for days; yet when he awoke, despite the pain and weakness, he felt joyful.

The battle was over. The prize, the devotion of his men, the reports that Diana would hear of his triumph...none mattered so much as Stephen, who forgave him without so much as an apology.

"Love..." he began, the sound as loud as a cannon in the quiet infirmary. But Stephen only shook his head:

"You have lost altogether too much blood, my dear, and must rest."

Thanks. I figure that at this stage, Jack would only use the L word aloud if he had delirium as an excuse. *g*

Delirium is the best excuse.
Well, delirium and your grandmother's funeral. :D
