Revelation by Rosiespark (G)
Fandom: HORATIO HORNBLOWER
Pairing: William Bush/Archie Kennedy
Author on LJ:
rosiespark
Author Website:NA
Why this must be read:
This fic is set in the A&E adaptation universe, specifically the episode Retribution, and is part of the fandom genre known as DKU (Dead Kennedy Universe). In my estimation this is the best missing scene I have read on this subject.
The author portrays Bush with reserve, a professional manner, and lack of open emotionalism, displaying a careful calculation overlaid on something much deeper. All traits that are perfectly characteristic. Kennedy's courage is obvious and dramatic and is a true thing. But what makes this fic stand out in this particular genre is the author's skill in providing a layer for Bush that isn't often seen, yet is distinctly correct. Bush has had to find a sort of courage that isn't as obvious or dramatic as Kennedy's sacrifice. Quietly and carefully in his own manner.
Wonderfully crafted in a short span of words.
