PLOT: picks up at the last few minutes of AWE. i always thought it would be extremely awkward for jack to drop off elizabeth to meet with will at their honeymooning island, so i decided to explore what jealousy issues he may have. he eventually takes off to leave will and elizabeth to their fun; however, as we know, will has to leave almost immediately. meanwhile, jack can't find peace anywhere because barbossa and the rest of the crew hold a mutiny. they dump jack off at the last place he'd want to be: elizabeth's island. furious, he storms past her upon his arrival and insults her as he lets it slip that being with her is like being back in the locker. elizabeth, equally ticked, drops the bomb that he's not the only one with problems: she has a two-year-old, and is raising him all by herself. floored, jack takes pity on her and agrees to stay with her to help take care of the child, at least until he can figure out his life. the temporary stay turns into several years, and jack becomes something of a surrogate father to young william and a husband to elizabeth, although he'd never let the two know how much he really cared. however, all fairy tales must come to an end: will returns as his eternal servitude is on pause for one day. both elizabeth and jack had forgotten, so, panicking, jack flees the island. even though he escaped without notice, young william spills the beans the minute will touches the shore. elizabeth comes clean with will and will leaves the island, much to elizabeth's dismay. meanwhile, jack is out in the middle of nowhere but realizes he no longer has a home except from where he's just left. so he turns his boat around.
song is "the bachelor & the bride" by the decemberists.
mini blurb from "moulin rouge"
absolutely no copyright infringement intended; i just do this for fun. most everything belongs to the mouse -- the rest to the decemberists. think of this as "fair use," not copyright.
due to popular demand, i'm also including a "director's commentary":
the quality of the vid is bad on purpose. this video is all about miscommunication and having unhealthy relationships: relationships that only go skin deep. for example, will and elizabeth's scenes are split up with images of jack not only to show how he's jealous of their love, but because he will always be a force inbetween them. also, will and elizabeth's scenes are smoother because they're conventional. jack and elizabeth's scenes are unpredictable and sometimes when you think it's about to get tender, a new clip interrupts the moment and lust overtakes true love. therefore, i kept the main effects of all clips in fuzzy contrasts and yellow tints because it just seems fake. the characters don't have sharp features; at times they almost look dead. the colors aren't bright because detail is looked over. it's the here and now that everyone's worried about.
p.s. a fic is being assembled to this vid. for teasers, send me a message. (Less)

The Mariner's Revenge Song
We are two mariners
Our ships' sole survivors
In this belly of a whale
Its ribs our ceiling beams
Its guts our carpeting
I guess we have some time to kill
You may not remember me
I was a child of three
And you, a lad of eighteen
But I remember you
And I will relate to you
How our histories interweave
At the time you were
A rake and a roustabout
Spending all your money
On the whores and hounds
Oh Ohhhhh
You had a charming air
All cheap and debonair
My widowed mother found so sweet
And so she took you in
Her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and foul disease
As time wore on you proved
A debt-ridden drunken mess
Leaving my mother
A poor consumptive wretch
Oh Ohhhhh
And then you disappeared
Your gambling arrears
The only thing you left behind
And then the magistrate
Reclaimed our small estate
And my poor mother lost her mind
Then one day, in spring
My dear sweet mother died
But before she did
I took her hand as she, dying, cried:
Oh Ohhhhh
"Find him, bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave
*sigh*"
It took me fifteen years
To swallow all my tears
Among the urchins in the street
Until a priory
Took pity and hired me
To keep their vestry nice and neat
But never once in the employ
Of these holy men
Did I ever, once, turn my mind
From the thought of revenge
Oh Ohhhhh
One night I overheard
The prior exchanging words
With a penitent whaler from the sea
The captain of his ship
Who matched you toe to tip
Was known for wanton cruelty
The following day
I shipped to sea
With a privateer
And in the whistle
Of the wind
I could almost hear...
Oh Ohhhhh
"Find him, bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave
"There is one thing I must say to you
As you sail across the sea
Always, your mother will watch over you
As you avenge this wicked deed"
[haunting, sailor-esque musical interlude lead by mandolin, accordion and tuba]
And then that fateful night
We had you in our sight
After twenty months at sea
Your starboard flank abeam
I was getting my muskets clean
When came this rumbling from beneath
The ocean shook
The sky went black
And the captain quailed
And before us grew
The angry jaws
Of a giant whale
[instrumental noise]
oh ohhhhhhhhhh
[screaming]
ohhhhh
[screaming]
Don't know how I survived
The crew all was chewed alive
I must have slipped between his teeth
But, oh! What providence!
What divine intelligence!
That you should survive
As well as me
It gives my heart
Great joy
To see your eyes fill with fear
So lean in close
And I will whisper
The last words you'll hear
Ohh Ohhhhh (Less)
