Provisos to anybody reading this: this is eight thousand seven hundred and seventy two words of out-in-left field sequel to a twenty thousand word crackfic that . . . hasn't been written and was supposed to be a retelling of Lieutenant Hornblower. But um. Set in the context of an American university's football program. Shut up. I recognize that

You know damn well how much I love this and how much I'm NOT JUST BEING TOO NICE when I say that. Thank you for writing this. Thank you, and omg how fun was it to noodle out all this stuff? <333333333

Raondomly: I listened to "We'll Meet Along the Way" about 2930429384 times while writing this. <3 i>Go easy now -- later on, the world is gonna break your world in two. It makes me think about Bush standing in the flat space in front of the house and having those big, empty Wisconsin fields morph into the empty football stadium.

*sings songs about Horatio coming back as a low-level tenure-track faculty member while Bush is a senior and about crippling injuries that end Bush's career in football before draft day*

*stabs LJ for not showing me this*

Ya know, no matter what or where or when, HH will always be that lonely little boy in the pig trough.

Except when he has snatches of happiness with Bush. omg.

XD

[quigonejinn]

Ahahah. LJ didn't show it to you because I backdated this bitch. Thinking about how much time I spent writing this gives me fits of shame and AHHHHHH AHHHHHHH AHHHHHHHHHHHH HOLY SHIT I CAN'T BELIEVE I WROTE THISSSSSSS

Because. I mean. XD Let's make one of the most famous sailing ships in the history of England a blonde ex-cheerleader with a rich daddy! :D :D :D

Re: XD

[black_hound]

Better than making it a fucking DRAGON. :P XD

Dude, the fact that you are the crack queen of Hornblower fandom is the best. fucking. thing. ever.

yeah, well, Bush rides Tem in this too. XD

[quigonejinn]

I even have the crack sequel to the sequel in my head. Debilitating football injuries in the legs! Barbara Wellesley, daughter of a trustee and one of Hornblower's students! Hornblower's tiny little studio apartment, and him getting it on with Bush when he's supposed to be having office hours!

And just to prove the crack: I'm listening to a song titled "Devil Lady" and thinking about Barbara.

[randomalia]

This is your brain on crack. XD It's awesome. I really like how you can pull different stuff out of the same hh/wb relationship by putting it in these different settings. And also the thought Bush has about finding a sense of duty in his happiness with Hornblower.

[quigonejinn]

XDDD Oh, that bit abotu Bush and duty was a rather crazy and psychotic and desperate attempt to make this shit not totally and completely out of my ass. <333333333333

I want Bill and Harry to get married and move to a little log cabin on the cold Alberta prairie and raise Black Angus, keeping each other warm at night under Hudson's Bay Blankets and wearing flannel shirts.

. . . that is quite possibly the greatest idea ever. It's like Brokeback Royal Navy. XD

And I'm really, really glad that you liked this. It was a delirious pleasure to write, though ahahah. After you left me this comment (P(#&PO#I WHAT HOLY FUCK PEOPLE ARE READING THIS), I had to go through and change about twelve million things and clean up the ending. And nothing really changes the fact that all the good ideas in here are from iansmomesq -- she's the one who suggested making Bush's family dairy farmers out on the plains, for example, and is the one who was telling me about how you feed calves with a bottle. The shower humping and deer hunting are entirely hers.

<3333333333 thank you for this wonderfully kind comment. You're one of my favorite writers in HH fandom, so I'm really honored.

[quigonejinn]

Mostly typos here and there, an unclear pronoun during the first blowjob that HH gives Bush, and the ending -- it was not only lame, but I'd also used it before in another crack-AU that I wrote solely for the purpose of HH/WB porn. written. So I replaced it with a line from Crisis. Plagiarism >>> self-created retardation.

There's a really, really stupid sequel in progress. If you want to read it while it's being written, tell me, and I'll filter you in.
