Reviews for Second Chances

By : Chrysanthemum

    Once upon a time, I found your website (cruising for VC fics) and read that wonderful story 'Opportunity'. I was so taken by the way you had captured Jack's language and personality that I took the bold step of emailing my praise to you--'bold' because I had never had the temerity to contact an author before. You were so kind to actually reply and wrote that you had a sequel in mind but that it needed typing up from your long-hand. I have kept that email, dated 25th Jan 2005! Imagine how thrilled I was to find that sequel here rather than on your own site, which I have checked from time to time. I started reading Second Chances late last night and found that I couldn't stop, finally getting to bed at 2.30am!! It is MARVELLOUS!! Every bit the sequel you promised: Will's despair/guilt over Elizabeth, Jack's delight/anxiety over seeing Will again and the desperate concern they both felt over the events and emotions surrounding Jack's rape. Your careful unravelling of their feelings for each other and, moreso, the unpicking of the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow to reveal the all-too-human Jack beneath is truly masterful. You could have ended it after their first love-making but you didn't. The Epilogue of Chapter 5 is inspired--all loose ends well and truly tied up--no more doubts. I love the change between POV allowing us to listen in to their fears, and the sex was hot and steamy! Thank you for not abandoning this story in your busy life.

    I remember reading Opportunity quite some time ago and wondering if there was a sequel squirrled away somewhere in Jack/Will fanficdom. I am delighted to read the continuation, and found it to be quite realistic as the men deal with their past traumas. I am particularly taken by Jack's inner monologues...his understanding of self and the window display he puts on for those around him. I love that he is vulnerable.

    I hope that you will be able to find time to continue to write for this fandom. Thank you for sharing your talent with the rest of us. Your admiration for these characters shines through.

    This story is fantastic!! I had no idea such a heartwarming and enjoyable story could follow from such a melancholy and upsetting first story! I'm impressed. I loved the characterization you established and the plot twists and events were thought out and well put together. I love the interaction between Will and Jack and that it wasn't simply a 'oh i am in love with you lets hop into bed!!' I'm really glad you resurrected this and finally put it on public display. It was very enjoyable to read and difficult to put down. I look forward to reading anything else you have to offer in the future! Thank you again for a wonderful experience!

    This was just amazing! Jack and Will both stayed in character, the pacing was excellent, and the emotions are so well written it's almost like the reader has some sort of telepathy with the characters. I can't say it enough, wonderful story! Thanks so much for posting!!!

    That is the most amazing Turrow story I have every read. I loved Oportunity...but this was just ... I have no words. Churning emotions, anazingly well written sex (hehe) and perfectly in character...but it was the emotion. the angst and power of it that got me. I could not stop reading. THANK YOU so much for writing this! I would vote it as the best Jack/Will fic in the entire fandom. Seriously. Please, post is on the jackwill lifjournal community if you can! ( http://community.livejournal.com/jackwill/ ) Everyone there needs to read this!
