Happy Endings (Jack/Will/Elizabeth | PG | 802 words) is the sequel to 'The Swordsmith and the Pirate: A Romance of the Spanish Main' by Elizabeth Turner and puts to rights that wibble at the end. Elizabeth's been published, and Anamaria likes to read. I really like Anamaria in this.

"Don't," she snapped. "I haven't got to that part yet."
