Xover (LotR/PotC): The Very Secret Diary of Cap'n Jack by viva_gloria, poor_napoleon, & ladymoonray
The Very Secret Diary of Captain Jack Sparrow (Jack Sparrow | PG13 | 1,706 words) is Jack's diary when he ends up in Middle Earth shortly before the battle at Minas Tirith. Oh my, it is very funny.
Excerpt:
Interesting. This fleet hails from somewhere called Umbar. Never heard of it, and can't find it in Mercator's New Atlas of World Conquest, or A-Z of Caribbean, so is obviously local name for some perfectly ordinary place. Key West, perhaps. Or Morecambe (see Very Badly Lost possibility above).
Anyway, pirate armada call themselves corsairs, but am not fooled; they have black ships with black sails, crewed by ugly, overweight disfigured men with exotic accents. Perhaps 'Umbar' is actually Gateshead. Anyway, 'corsair' is only nancy-boy word for 'pirate'.
