For ioanite who requested Horatio/Barbara:

Comments

Oh, so sweet. She does love him just a little, doesn't she? And he is recognizably dorky and lovable.

[romanticalgirl]

I think she does - just because they were a good match for each other politically and socially, doesn't mean that there wasn't at least a little bit of love.

[ioanite]

Yay! You wrote it! And it's lovely. Especially this part:

For some reason, today he has brought the box into the sitting room, turning it carefully in his hands. They are long-fingered and steady, callused and marked with ink. She loves his hands

I adore Horatio's/Ioan's hands too. They're so beautifully expressive.

And I mean, Yes, Horatio's a grumpy sod, but he's so endearing sometimes. You captured that beautifully in your fic.

Long story short: Thank you, It's great!

[romanticalgirl]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. He's kind of ridiculous, but I love him a lot. Oh, Hornblower.

[eglantine_br]

Do you want to put it on Following Sea?

[anteros_lmc]

Awwww that's lovely! I adore Barbara in this :)

Like eglantine_br said, would you mind if I cross posted this to following sea?

[romanticalgirl]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

(sure go ahead and post a link if you'd like!)

[anteros_lmc]

Thank you so much! I've cross posted here. I hope you don't mind but I've also cross posted Troubled Waters. Your Hornblower fic gets reccd on a regular basis over at following_sea so these are a real treat! Thank you again :)

[romanticalgirl]

Thanks for reccing/posting them!

Long time since I've read any of your stuff, romanticalgirl. I see the talent hasn't waned. Lovely vignette, and very in character. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
