Opportune Moment is a site for Pirates of the Caribbean fanfiction, with a twist. We are the first site to archive only stories that are written in 2nd person point of view, in other words, You-stories. We believe that a well-written story from the second person POV is just as enjoyable and entertaining as any other, hence why our archive offers only stories to which the authors have truly put their time and dedication into. Who wouldn't want to experience an adventure with a dash of romance with the gorgeous Captain Jack Sparrow? Or perhaps your fancy is tickled by a certain young blacksmith, or the honourable Commodore? We also host stories from other Johnny Depp movies.

We are constantly looking for new stories and wish to encourage new writers to share their work. Our Review Board offers many writing resources, among other things, to help you get started if you're a beginning writer, and our helpful crewmembers are willing to offer assistance. Or perhaps you already have a story of your own? In that case, do check out our submission guidelines for further instructions on how to get your own story posted here.

Have fun during your stay, and keep to the Code!

You only have yourself to blame. You know you shouldn’t have challenged him. Not in this game. Admittedly, he started it all just by being who he is, but you just couldn’t let it go. You just couldn’t let him win. It’s not in your nature to be spineless. You love games almost as much as he does, so of course you would take him up on his unspoken challenge. You just never knew that what you were doing wasn’t just a game. You never allowed yourself to realize that the game ended weeks ago and now it’s just the two of you waiting for the other to break.

You never know when he’ll show up, having to adapt to his appearing unannounced. He even uses his absence as a way to play the game, making you wait in anticipation for his next appearance. For days you’ve thought about leaving Tortuga for a few weeks, hoping that it will be in those few weeks that he’ll show up. You finally decided that you would do it, loving the thought of turning one of his own techniques against him.

You didn’t pack much, only what you needed for a few days, and you left. You didn’t go far, only to the next closest town, but it was far enough. Staying there was torturous; you hadn’t expected that. The thought of missing one of his visits was turning you inside-out. You begun to hate your brilliant plan, finding it pointless if you were only ending up in driving yourself insane. Besides, the chances of his choosing that exact time to visit is slim. You doubt he’s being affected by this at all.
