:D I agree - putting some of those prompts in some of those universes would be very mind-boggling!

But, after sorting through the more possibles, let me I offer you:

91, Horatio Hornblower.

Thank you. It appears to be turning into a short story - ie about 1000 words. Also rather grim and angsty which I know isn't really your thing in particular. Would you like another go?

:D Great, about the short story! and no, I'll stick with it - angsty, I can handle; what I flinch from is revelling in gore and malice.

I've posted it on Fanfiction.net since it grew to 1300+. It turns out Hornblower is only under TV shows, so that's where I've put it. I just hope no-one minds.

TV shows!! Oh, the untutored young! :D

Of course I've raced over to ffnet and read-and-reviewed. Thank you very much - yes, it's grim (though you kindly gave that gleam of hope for humanity in the character of Jenny, and very subtly in Bush), but it's very believably in character, for the times (though I'm hazy on naval punishments) and for how bullies and cowards work.
I liked the understated Bush-Hornblower relationship - how they communicated without a word (ostensibly) spoken.
Thank you! :)
