Day 15: Against the Wind (Hornblower, Bush/Hornblower, PG-13)
Title: Against the Wind
Author: fides
Fandom: Hornblower
Pairing: William(/Horatio)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Set between Mutiny/Retribution and Duty/Loyalty
It would be easy - too easy - to reach down and take hold of the hard flash waiting there... but to do so would mean admitting what had brought him to such a state, of what dream had wakened him. William Bush lay in bed in his sisters' house and tried not to remember the rock of the deck under his feet, the taste of the salt wind or the freedom.
The Captain who set his nightly course was not someone whom he had ever served under - except in his wishes and his wishes acknowledged no law of God or Admiralty.
