Link: Hornblower/Bush content
Link for silver_b_a and haunted_attics for all things Hornblower/Bush, mostly bookverse: quigonejinn. Analysis, stories, recs, icons, boundless enthusiasm. Try this post, for example. And these extracts - especially 15 and 22 - leave me giddy with love for Lieutenant Hornblower. Forester's Hornblower novels are the only books I know of that rival the best slash for emotional impact.
Those of you who hate personality tests might enjoy this. I was quite interested in the results of that Enneagram meme and broached the topic with my sister, who's a psychiatrist and very dismissive of such things, the other night. She's a gentle, lovely person who rarely gets noticeably irritated about anything.
Me: I know you don't like these things, but some of my friends were doing this Enneagram test...
Sister [warily]: Oh yes?
Me: Do you remember what you got?
Sister: A 9. But [raising voice] you know me! You've known me all my life! You don't need some test to tell you what sort of person I am!!!
Me: Yes, but...
Sister: I have a healthy appreciation for complexity and a mistrust of oversimplification.
Me: Right. And what's your Myers-Briggs, again?
Sister: [snarling] ENFJ.
Me: I'll go read up on that.
Sister: Grrr. Grrrr.
