Characters: Norrington
Rating: general
Summary: A sequence of seven drabbles encompassing James Norrington's life from youth to man. Written pre-DMC.
"You've had all the schooling that you'll need, James. William will enter the Church, and Thomas will inherit the estate. You're to go into the navy next month; I've had word and you'll join the Plover as a midshipman." Charles Norrington stared at his fifteen-year-old son, his mouth set in firm lines.
James knew there was no use in arguing with his father any further. The family lands were entailed and anyway not prosperous enough to support two idle sons. How unlike the tales his nurse told him as a child, where all the success went to the lucky third.
