Oh man, I spent like ALL of last summer reading nothing but King Arthur, HP, and HH fanfiction.
http://www.hhfic.com/ <---- BEST HH fanfic archive I've come across. Poke around, most of the stuff is pretty good. I read most of the stuff there, so I don't exactly remember which were good/bad, but there are a few that sticks out the most.
First is RED SKY AT MORNING by Sarah B. and Carolyn. Oh man, this fic was intense and left me drained (but in a good way). I cried (which I never do!) and brilliant characterization of Archie & Horatio, and introduces new characters that are multi dimensional as well. Here is the summary:
Following the disastrous mission at Muzillac, Horatio longs for peace and release from the guilt that plagues his soul. Instead he is drawn into a nightmare of ambition and intrigue when Archie is accused of murdering an officer from another ship, the H.M.S. Courageous. To win his freedom Horatio must thwart the Courageous' powerful captain, and discover the darkest secrets of Archie's past. But Archie's soul will not be freed easily, and Horatio discovers that the price of his freedom is very high indeed...
Anything by MEANJEAN is brilliant. The PASSAGES series are what sticks out most in my memory. Perfect blend of drama and humor to move the story along.
Found this (http://www.sigma957.com/romantical/hornblower/fics.html) site while looking around for a particular fic that I read. Looks promising :)
Alternate Endings to Retribution (http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:6RS4GLpC120J:bagenders.rosiesamfrodo.com/clean/alternate.html+Horatio+marries+Archie.+Commodore+Pellew+marries+Admiral+Hood.+Styles+marries+Matthews.&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1) <---The page is gone apparently, so I had to resort to this. I think it's hilarious :D
Argh there are fics that I can't find or don't remember where it's from. If you want, maybe you could ask around and see if anyone knows where it is:
PELLEW'S PERSPECTIVE HEART AND SOUL
Hope this helps somewhat. Good luck on your binge of HH fics :D!
