To be honest, "A Series of Steps" will probably be wrapping up fairly soon. My goal is to have it all up by the time I leave for university in a few weeks as once school stars I have a feeling you all will see a lot less of me.


All the Steps . . .All the Steps of Life's Journey Have Led to ThisAll the Steps . . .
What have I done? The past few months of wedding preparations replay themselves in my head. Over and over again I ask myself why I did not put a stop to it all in the forest that day only a short week ago. Have I really lost that much hope in seeing William again? The very thought makes me more sick to my stomach than when I woke up after my fall on the parapet to learn that I had finally accepted James Norringtons proposal.
This is the first time in months that I have thought of William Turner extensively, or rather, that I have allowed myself to think of him.

Stepping Carefully
Charlotte takes another shining silver pin from her mouth and pushes it into the ivory fabric of my wedding gown. She wipes her hands on her skirt, pushes the remaining pins into the embroidered pouf, and stands up to admire her work. I look down at all the lace and ivory and turn to myself in the mirror hardly recognizing the woman I see before me.

This morning feels quite akin to my 18th birthday slightly over two years ago now. My bedroom is stifling hot, and I throw the covers off of me in an attempt to become cooler. Rays of sunlight peek through the heavy curtains hanging in front of the two windows in the room, and I cannot seem to find the strength to get up and open them. There is something important happening today, and I cannot remember what it is for the life of me.
Squeezing my eyes shut I search back into my memory for some recollection of the importance of this day. A knock on the door shatters my thinking, and I launch myself fr

I untie the knot of ribbon under my chin and hang my hat on one of the many hooks in the entrance hall. Charlotte follows suit with her own hat. Life has taken on a different kind of monotony now. Everyday Charlotte and I visit the docks before doing the shopping in the market.
There is an unspoken agreement between us that we will not discuss what happened that day in my room. Suffice it to say, I finally realised how much I had been hurting those around me as well as myself.
Since then my dear Charlotte has vied to keep me busy every moment of the day. It has become a welcome reli

I had this idea for a multi-chapter Norribeth fanfiction pop into my head a few moments ago and I wanted to see what you think. I like how you, and so many other Norribeth writers, explore what the relationship between James and Elizabeth would've been like if they'd gotten married after CotBP.
So here's my idea:
After the events of CotBP, Will saves Jack but instead of staying and telling Elizabeth he loves her, he falls off the parapet with Jack.
Elizabeth is left behind to fulfill her promise to marry Norrington, but before she can, Beckett shows up with his warrants for Jack, Will, Elizabeth, and the Commodore.
It would be very much like the movies, except for the fact that Elizabeth is caught between her thirst for adventure and an unexplored love, and her promise to James.
Is this a good idea? Is it lame? I would really like you feedback. The idea is eating my soul...so I think I'm going to start writing. Let me know if you're interested. Thanks!
