[undulate] - Sparrow/Norrington for starfishchick

People call Jack mercurial, slipping unstoppable through ports and across the ocean, quicksilver flashing. James knows better. James has seen the patterns, the highs and the lows, Jack pulled by gravity, by rhythm, by something greater than the Royal Navy or his own self interest. James knows, but keeps silent.

They are quiet now, for there are guards and Articles and death, all waiting. Souls and bodies rocking, scars catching. James watches Jack watching the moon, smelling the changes in the air. He will disappear with the rising tide. For tonight, though, he will hold James free of the undertow.

Willow watches him for a moment, tilts her head and runs one finger along his spine, cool touch on burning flesh. "Nice new puppy," she purrs. Draco does not shiver.

He is kneeling on the floor, perfectly still, arms chained, body a stylized Z. He is not marked; the Death Eaters make a point of taking excellent care of their possessions. He could release himself with a fluttering of his fingers, but he will not. He will wait forever if that is required.

"Very nice," she says, tugging him to his feet. "But we can break you a little more."
