fajrdrakoThis was from a challenge by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thamiris, which gem225 reminded me of just now when I read her lovely JAG story that was her answer to the challenge. Thamiris posted the challenge here. It went like this:
Seduction Drabble Challenge! All Fandoms!
Gulp. This whole seduction motif has me itching for some stories, so I'm going to issue a Seduction Drabble Challenge! All Fandoms! All Pairings! You write it, post a link here or the drabble itself, and in return I'll love you with words. Any fandom, any pairing, as long as it deals with seduction. SV, dS, OC, A:tS, BtVS, SG1, JAG, HP, HL, QAF, Popslash, whatever...I'm easy.
I love the theme. Ah-hah, says I to myself, thinking of three fandoms at once. All good Smallville stories, in my opinion, are seduction stories: I'll write many of them, maybe even for this challenge. But not right now. (Didn't I just write something a couple of hours ago, in which Clark seduced Lex? Too easy, too easy.)
So I wrote something based on "Pirates of the Caribbean", and it isn't a drabble - I don't write drabbles. It's a dodecal, a piece of 144 words: Sea-Longing.

Sea-Longing
Will Turner was seduced by the sea.
When young, he feared it. Seaborn pirates almost killed him. He believed they'd killed his father: he was wrong only in the details.
When he first met Jack Sparrow his element was fire. With shining flame he coaxed swords into being, and danced with them in air. He couldn't hear the sea calling to him until the day a pirate had come to challenge him, and cheated.
The game between him and Jack Sparrow involved life and death, and a few things more important than that. Dark, knowing eyes and a madman's poetical talk enflamed his body and woke his spirit. Jack made Will's body fly, using his lips and fingers and agile, knowing tongue.
Jack showed him what he longed for: freedom, and life on the open horizon.
Jack gave him the ocean for his own.
