Best Sparrington Canon Divergence Fanfics

by YunaYamiMouto

A different take on AWE. How would the story differ if there had been a different Pirate King? If Beckett couldn't make a deal with Jack and instead tried to hang him? If Norrington objected when he saw his true face and survived instead of dying on the Flying Dutchman? If more enemies were thrown i

This is a minor AU in Curse of the Black Pearl, in which Norrington is taken hostage during the commandeering of the Interceptor. In the turn of events, it is Norrington and Jack who are marooned on the island.

The Pirate Code doesn't expressly command its adherents to repay debts that bridge life and death, but the Code is more of a set of guidelines, anyway. Sparrow/Norrington, set after At World's End, ignores all films released thereafter.

It is a widely known fact that the Keeper of the Code and his Heir, his only son, have been at odds for years so no one dares mention said son's name in Shipwreck Cove (not that they know it). But what is this strange tension in Jack Sparrow and how will it all affect the meeting of the Brethren Cou

"You're in my bed," said the commodore to the pirate.

Norrington pulls Sparrow's sleeve up to find a soulmark matching his own. He's so fucked.

"Now up is down," was the last thing any of them heard before the rush of water drowned everything else out. Later, waking up on a random, deserted island, they almost immediately notice that something was not right with their Captain. Sparrington, Salazak, Willabeth, maybe others mentioned.

Time passes – days, weeks, finally months – and still Norrington will not speak.

When Norrington falls from grace, Jack feels a curious thing: guilt. AU after first film.

Sure, the compass doesn’t point north. But Jack’s not trying to find north, is he?

Jack is not human. Well not completely human. He has siren blood from his father's side and Incubus blood from his mother's. Which gives him a considerable bit of suggestive power over people. I mean, how else does he always seem to manage to get out of the situations he does? This gift is nice and

England and Spain are at war, and Norrington needs a quick solution to the Jack Sparrow problem. Meanwhile, Jack discovers that the Caribbean he once knew is gone. The deal they make could solve both their troubles, or it might be the worst mistake of their lives. AU after first film.

When Jack Sparrow is taken ill, his care is overseen by a most unlikely person.

by mundungus42

Norrington and his officers are courtmartialed for the loss of the Interceptor. The penalty for negligence is death by hanging, and the Admiral has it in for Norrington. Fortunately, Jack still owes him for one escape.

At a masked ball, Norrington meets a stranger.

James goes to see Sparrow in prison and gets quite a surprise.

by the_dala

Jack finds himself under a rather unusual breed of love spell.(A Sparrington take on the BtVS episode "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered")

by elessil

Commodore Norrington and Captain Sparrow find themselves in a nasty jam and must rely on one another to escape.

Story starts AU and then follows the real relationship between Jack and James throughout the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Mostly follows cannon, but will have AU elements and is completely AU after At World's End (I am ignoring the last two films).

Set shortly after the first movie, ignoring all the others. (Written, indeed, shortly after the first movie, before any of the others existed.) Jack Sparrow's taken a letter of marque, and Norrington's life has taken a turn for the strange. Still, any excuse to get out from behind a desk for a while
