Norrington was such an interesting character in the movie and he’s the character I seek out in fanfic. This is a very nice Norrington ‘gen’ story, set shortly after the movie. While innocently hanging out in a pub with Gillette (and one can catch a slashy vibe there if one wishes), Norrington comes into possession of a fox. Not just any fox. This is a magic fox. Seriously. Of course, he doesn’t know it’s a magic fox (because really, it’s not the first thought to pop into your head when you come across a fox) and decides it would make the perfect wedding gift for Elizabeth. What follows is a rousing adventure and a wonderful characterization of the Commodore. Expect great writing, an original plot, brilliant characterizations of not just Norrington but secondary characters such as Gillette, and a flair for ‘showing’ rather than ‘telling’. The only quibble I had was with the ending, which seemed a bit weak. There is a sequel that I’ll be checking out, but there were some minor hints that future books might take a turn for the ‘Mary Sue’. It matters not, as this story stands up quite nicely all on its own.
