Caudebec by Quarterdeck (G)
Fandom: HORNBLOWER
Pairing: William Bush & Horatio Hornblower
Author on LJ:NA
Author Website:NA
Why this must be read:
Hornblower movieverse fandom is full of Live Kennedy fix-its. This is the only fic I have found that is a Live Bush fix-it and for that reason alone is well worthy of being read. The story extends significantly past the reach of the television series and is focused on what did or did not happen on the quay in Caudebec. It is heavily drawn from Lord Hornblower and Hornblower in the West Indies.
In the author's own words: "Lord Hornblower was always the most difficult of the Hornblower books for me to read, for within its pages something that was very dear to me was broken, seemingly beyond repair. In this story, I have endeavored to fix the unfixable ...."
Even though this is heavily book canon, it is still perfectly readable without having knowledge of the written series. The author has smoothly communicated the background info through the voices of the characters. Her Bush characterization is beautifully poignant and perfectly in tune. As is her Hornblower.
This is clearly spoiler heavy as to the fate of Mr. Bush as Forester wrote it.
