you've really got to be kidding me
So, it turns out that I have tonsilitis AS WELL AS GLANDULAR FEVER. How is that even possible? Anyhoo, so I'm going to stay with my mum for a few days so that she can cook for me and I can snuggle with my dog. I shall not have internet.
None of this is really important however. What is important is that I'm in love with a whole new fandom. Yes, during my extended and ridiculous illness I have discovered HORNBLOWER!! And while Ioan Gruffudd is possibly the most beautiful man ever and he has exceptionally fine long-fingered hands, I have to say that it is Archie I love. And the Horatio/Archie.
It pwns me. The epic drama pwns me. The gay sailors pwn me. The nautical terminology pwns me. Heck, even the dorky hats pwn me.
I like to be pwnd.
I am going to dload a whole heap of Hornblower slash so that it will make me recover in the way that no drugs can. (Though, now I really do have the Very Good Drugs.)
So, it would be awesomely awesome if while I'm away, people could spam me, so that when I get home I can reply to all the messages with my pretty new Hornblower icons!!! I have about 80 and they need to be used.

I've been reading loads of Hornblower fic while I've been sick, but I'm nearly out - do you have any recs???

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!

I've found a few good fics. Most of the fic on
this page are good, especially First Blush, Kama Sutra, Time Well Spent and Ye Olde Drunken Boinke. Though, I have to admit a few of them are just too sad.
Also Tutelage by
I think I have a thing for terribly sad Archie fic, because I think The Falling Glass by
Rightio, that's enough spamming with links now! You've likely read them all anyways, but I guess it's good to spread the love anyways!!!
