When I first saw the movie, I was all about the Jack/Will, but I recently re-watched it and Sparrington just became so clear. Maybe I matured? Maybe I decided that Will and Elizabeth were cute enough and Jack needs someone older and snarkier? Maybe I developed a strange fetish for men in uniform? Well, who knows. But you've definitely covered all the things I saw in this pairing - the grudging respect, the equality, the teasing. And "Two Sides of the Same Coin" is great summation of their relationship.
And now I have recs! Whee! There goes the rest of my weekend!
