we the people seriously need to consider a pirates of the caribbean javetherine au

#davey as a blacksmith whos been pining for heiress katherine for years #but has always resigned himself to his status and passively accepts it just cant be #and then pirate jack comes swinging into his life and makes him realize he can be more than just a life spent in the background #katherine as an heiress who knows she could be so much more but everyone keeps telling her no #and she doesnt believe it! she doesnt! she CAN be more! ... but god its exhausting to be the only one believing in herself. #and then in the wake of a pirate attack shes helped by the blacksmiths apprentice who always seemed to just hide himself in the background #and he refuses to let her feel even slightly guilty about what happened. #and then in comes this ABSURD pirate who sees her fire and shows her to throw a punch. tie a knot. wield a sword. #he listens to what she says. he takes her advice and she takes his. #and she finally feels like she has people who believe in her. who SEE her. #and jack as a pirate whos always been deternined to be alone. to live as his image and not himself. #its easier that way. to just say 'pirates life' and move on before someone can leave you. better to hide than be pushed aside. #and now here are these two annoyingly insistent city kids who keep acting like jacks worth keeping #and it's everything. but he knows it cant last. it cant. (he really wants it to last) #i mean really what are pirates if not sea cowboys #newsies #davey jacobs #david jacobs #katherine plumber #katherine pulitzer #jack kelly #javetherine #fic thoughts
