She's going to break Will's heart, one way or another.
(I haven't yet read wicked_wish on the subject; I will in a moment.)
I would actually love to see Will and Elizabeth end up together, not because they are the hero and heroine and thus inexorably intended for one another, and not because I need all my plot complexities to wind up happily ever after (we've already seen how well that worked), but because if their relationship is to work on any plausible level at all, there is no simple solution—the situation will require serious reassessment and negotiation and shifting of roles, and anything else will ring patently false. I think that would be fascinating to watch. I can't think of a single swashbuckling adventure where the young lovers actually had to stop and think hard about whether they were suited for one another or not. (Star Wars doesn't count; incest isn't a discussion, it's a taboo.) But above all, I would like the third movie to follow through honestly on the problems that the first two have set up. As long as that happens, I will probably be pleased with whatever sort of ending there is.
