Rec me PotC Gen fics

[elspethdixon]

Okay, I got some requests for y'all.

First off, my mom, whose middle school English classes have already read all of the edited-for-content version of "A Pirate's Life," wants me to put together a selection of other Potc fanfic for them to read during "silent reading time." The problem is, just about all of the shorter PotC fic I read is OT3 or slash--frequently NC-17 slash, and there's no way in Hell I can show a thirteen year old that.

So I'd appreciate any recs for shortish (ie. not multi-chapter fics) PotC fics that are gen or Will/Elizabeth and rated somewhere from G through PG-13. Preferably ones whose writers have ljs, so I can contact them and ask if they mind having their story printed out and shown to people. Feel free to pimp your own stuff.

Also, I'm stuck for ideas on a current fanfic project, and would appreciate any suggestions for something nefarious that evil-villain-type people could do in the Yukon around 1899-1900 (at the tail end of the gold rush). Something that would attract the attention and concern of the British government.

I was just thinking, there are a lot of good fics that would fit your criteria on erinrua's recs page (http://captainjack.t35.com/FanFic.html) on her PotC website. firesignwriter's Fortune and Favor is there (and you can't beat her writing, for sure!), and there are quite a few other short stories by various authors--Storm Warning by Alekto; His Holiness, Captain Sparrow by Beth/CG; "Playing Games" from The Salty Tales of Jack Sparrow by Blacklabel (which is hilarious); Our Beautiful Life or I Want To Be A Pirate by Ceridwen-Amyed; Finding North, and Beads by Dee; etc. etc. etc. All are rated PG-13 or less, and there's no slash. Lots of good stories there, some on LJ, some not.

Hey, thanks ^_^. I'd managed to scrounge up a couple from potc_canon, but this gives me a whole lot more to choose from.
