Fandom Category: Pirates of the Caribbean

Fic Title: Stepping Stones

Rating/Warning(s): R / none
Genre: Character Study, Post-Movie
WIP?: No

Why This Must Be Read: I loved Anamaria in the first movie, and was very sad and a little frustrated that she wasn't included in any of the sequels. voleuse writes such a strong characterization of Anamaria in this piece, she's someone who knows what she wants and doesn't take any crap from anyone. Her relationship with Jack is at times seemingly complicated, but in actuality very simple.

Anamaria has an understanding with Captain Jack Sparrow.

He treats her like an equal, and she doesn't run him through with a sword.

It works surprisingly well.

Why This Must Be Read: Written for the inception_kink meme, and it's gained absurd popularity because damn. Hawt. This won't make any sense unless you've seen the movie, but I'll just leave you with the first sentence as a taste: This lesson comes later (pun possibly intended, it depends on the speaker: if it’s Ariadne, she wouldn’t mean it, if it was Eames, he definitely would mean it; if it’s Arthur, we’ve got a wildcard): orgasm can work as a kick, too.
