Fandom: HORATIO HORNBLOWER
Pairing: William Bush/OFC; William Bush/Horatio Hornblower implied

Why this must be read:
This fic singlehandedly puts the lie to that old chestnut that an Age of Sail OFC must either be a Mary Sue or a bodice ripper cliche. Set primarily between "Flying Colours" and "Commodore Hornblower" during Captain Bush's tenure as the Resident Commissioner of the Sheerness Dockyard, this fic follows the fate of Captain Bush through "Lord Hornblower" as well. This is true in tone to the C.S. Forester books, with all the hardship and inherent danger, as well as the joy, of loving a naval officer during the Napoleonic Wars.
The first time you saw the man that you would marry, you thought that he was ugly.
