*saluts* Thank you! I usually don't like the thought of writing slash just for slash purposes but it was interesting to do something a little different this time.

I could imagine the look on his face, and I still haven't recovered properly from the thrill.
GAH! I need to stop writing Bush slash fic with PMG in mind, or else I won't be able to keep a straight face when I meet him in March.

I -on the other hand- can't seem to write anything that isn't slash.
And I can't seem to write anything that doesn't feature just a little bit of angst. (Only one of my fics is the exception to that, and it's DWfic)

To qoute The Doctor: 'What? What? What?
He's coming over to Melbourne and Sydney on convention, and I will be going if I work out how the ticketing system works. Quite looking forward to it, actually. =)

This time Hornblower didn’t play nice

Somehow I never thought he would ;)

sarlania December 18 2009, 06:51:00 UTC

*chuckles* You should really "see" some of the naughty (but cunning!) things he gets up to in the books. =)

anteros_lmc December 18 2009, 20:12:27 UTC

Have already promised to to read the books. Waiting to see whether Santa brings me the complete works of CSF or POB. Place your bets now.

naughty (but cunning!)

Am imagining Horatio: "I have a cunning plan!" ;)

Ohh great! I am betting on CSF but then again I'm rather biased.

Am imagining Horatio: "I have a cunning plan!" ;)
Now I can't help thinking of Hornblower playing charades with the Prince Reagent. =)

Wow!

This was hot!

he walked out of the cabin with a spring in his step and nodded cheerfully to the marine

I do so love it when Bush is happy.

sarlania December 18 2009, 06:54:19 UTC

This was hot!

Good! =) I was worried it would be too awkward as I've never written slash before and personally haven't had much experience myself... isn't it weird, basing one's writing on what one reads in others?

I do so love it when Bush is happy.
Me too! Especially since we Bush fans usually don't have much to be happy about, given the amongst of angst related to his character. =)

ashley_pitt December 18 2009, 11:05:17 UTC

A very fine first attempt.

Huzzah!

Indeed. I wonder if Bush's middle name is Angst?

sarlania December 19 2009, 03:42:19 UTC

I wonder if Bush's middle name is Angst?

No, his middle name is Suffering and Agony. Oh wait... hang on. That's exactly what Angst means. =p

late comment! thehappyreturn January 1 2010, 16:09:02 UTC

Wow!

It's MY loss I came to this late (I had a fandom scare and avoided it for a week or so - long story).

Thanks so much for writing this. I wish I could write sex. And god I LOVE the bit where HH makes him say 'sir'. Jesus, what a bitch, and what a brilliantly filthy touch. I love porn with characterisation this good.

And aside from the filth, I love the character/ship-life observations near the beginning.

Re: late comment! sarlania January 1 2010, 22:55:22 UTC

Sorry to hear about your fandom scare. I'm relatively lucky in that my best friend was the one who introduced me to LJ and she knows about my obsessions. =)

It is filthy - this time last year I would've been hesitant about reading stuff like this, let alone write it. LJ has certainly corrupted me. =p

I'm glad you liked it though! =) And thanks for your christmas wish list, I certainly don't think I would've written this if it wasn't for that.

Yeah, me too. :) Best friends aren't the problem. Scarily cool and intimidating friends/colleagues who you'd very happily be better friends with, who then find your LJ, are the problem.

*dies, again*.

Thanks, again, though. It's such a nice Christmas present. xx
