Summary
What would have happened if Governor Swann had stabbed the heart of Davy Jones? Perhaps he would become empty, hollow. Perhaps he would become vengeful. Perhaps this would provide an opportunity, and he would say things propriety had kept him from, and go to lengths he had not known before.
Ye be warned: this fic is pretty full of angst, but has some touching moments between Weatherby and James.

Bookmarker's Notes
“It doesn’t matter what I do.” Weatherby’s voice carried with it a new monotony, a more even tone than his former exuberance allowed. “Once my usefulness has run its course, Beckett will kill me. Completely.”
“Someone has to take your place.” James had turned to him fully now, outlined by dimming light.
He still doesn’t understand. “It isn’t a promotion, is it?” James stared at him, eyes full of questions, and this time, Weatherby did reach out, placing a hand on James’ shoulder. “Your sense of duty has served you, James.” He hadn’t used the man’s Christian name in so long, it felt almost foreign. “But Beckett has a way of twisting even the best parts of us.”
It was a shame, a fear, a grief Weatherby had never seen in the Admiral, not in all their years knowing each other. But there was a determination there, too, an acceptance. James will bear any burden asked of him.
“The dark side of ambition,” James whispered, hoarse. Then, taking a breath, “How bad is the pain? When they take out the heart.”

Bookmarker's Notes
“Getting you into bed has been too much work. I thought you’d be an easy mark.”
“Oh no, I require romancing.” Ramiro smirked. “You said so yourself.”
Ángel groaned. “Don’t say that. You’re far too smug.”

Bookmarker's Notes
A slight change in circumstances, and it could easily have been him and his crew who were swallowed by the blackness of the sea. She has been accompanying him on his travels more frequently since it happened – perhaps so her rational, steady presence can ward off any bad luck that stalks the ships of this company; perhaps so if lightning does strike twice, at least they will be lost together.
The telegram flutters in his hand. Such an insignificant little thing. Even so, if he were a more superstitious man, he would say that he can sense a wrongness in the air. The sea a little too still, the sun a little too bright. Maura, beside him, is a little paler than she usually is, her hand trembling on his arm.
He shakes himself. He is imagining things.

Bookmarker's Notes
Is that selfish of him? That’s something he hasn’t considered before. He would gladly die to see justice done in this case, but if he’s unable to keep his promise to Hae-Young to keep being there—does that make him selfish? Does it mean he’s just trading one kind of injustice for another?
Excellent companion piece to the show, that really nails the feeling of both foreboding and possibility in Lee Jae-han and Park Hae-young's conversations, and what can and can't change. The plus one conversation, post-canon, really is balm for the soul.
