Pointless

Title: Pointless
Author: Anteros
Characters: Bush, Kennedy, Hornblower
Rating: R
Notes: Just what this fandom needs; gratuitous Retribution angst fic. The title says it all really. This is a poor intrlude to rosiespark's The Simplest Gift and Revelation. I wrote it not long after I recc'd these wonderful fics and it's been hiding in my drafts folder ever

OH GOD I LOVE MY BOYS. <3 And fics like this remind me why I love them. Both Kennedy and Bush represented so well here.

Awwww thanks sweetie. Amazing how fic like this brings the angst junkies out of the closet ;)

Both Kennedy and Bush represented so well here.
I'm always a bit nervous writing Bush, I don't quite get him the way I get I get some of the other characters yet.

You know, for someone who claims not to get Bush you do a remarkably good job in all the fics I've read you write about him. =p I think he's quite a simple character really, but extraordinarily endearing in his simplicity. Duty above all else, apart from Horatio Hornblower who comes just a little bit before duty. <3333 (And this is why I love him). Have you seen the Care Bear Sailors? http://quietcontrary.livejournal.com/33974.html The description of Bush Bear makes me giggle. Especially: "He loves Horry Bear like whoa." Lol

Thanks sweetie! I think the thing about Bush is that I just can't see him quite as clearly as I can see Horatio and Archie. I haven't really thought about this much before but I kind of have an image in my head when I'm writing and my image of Bush is still a bit vague.

Nyawww, you are such a big softy!

Have you seen the Care Bear Sailors?
No I haven't! Priceless :D That's up there with Coltho's Bureau of Complaints.

Ohh I get that a lot when I write, so I understand. XD I think your manage well despite vague-ness though.

Nyawww, you are such a big softy!

I know, how atrocious. XD (But seriously. HH pairings just bring out the sap in me, they're all so damned noble!)

No I haven't! Priceless :D That's up there with Coltho's Bureau of Complaints.

Oh the lulz!!! So knew that Horatio was a masochist. Though I am going to have to disagree with Bush - why are you always portrayed as longing Hornblower from a distance? Because it's canon. XD Even when it's from Bush's POV Lol

Lol! I am going to make that my epitaph. "She managed well despite vague-ness"!

Had you not read the Bureau of Complaints before?! I thought I'd already pimped it to everyone in this comm! Definitely one of the funniest things this fandom has ever produced.

Lmfao!! That would be an EPIC epitaph! :D DO IT!

Oh this fandom has produced so many hysterical things I've totally lost count, but no I hadn't come across the Bureau of Complaints before. XD It's so true. Speaking of hilarious fandom-things, have you ever read The Dilettante's Guide to Hornblower?

DO IT!
Well hopefully I won't be needing to do it anytime soon!! XD

have you ever read The Dilettante's Guide to Hornblower?
Omg! I actually read that before I saw the series and I haven't seen it since! I did lok for it recently but couldn't find it. It's priceless, I'm so looking forward to reading this again!

[venusinfurs90]

Well hopefully I won't be needing to do it anytime soon!! XD

Oh yeah. Forgot that there was a little requirement needed before you could get an epitaph. XD

It's priceless, I'm so looking forward to reading this again!

It's utterly hilarious! I found it immediately after watching the series for the first time and it had me snorting with laughter throughout. I now wish I could comment and say "But Horatio's naked-deck-shower-scene isn't gratuitous, it's CANON!" :D Lol but even canonically it's pretty gratuitous so. XD
