Why this must be read:

This is an unusual fic in that it consists of a series of single sentence snippets written to a list of pre-set theme-words. They’re wonderfully evocative: some straightforward and obvious, some that make you puzzle for a moment and then go, "Oh. Yes. Of course". Quigonjinn’s affection for Lt Bush illuminates both his own character and his relationships with others, especially Hornblower. The language has a deceptive simplicity that conceals a depth of emotion and beautifully nuanced reflections by and about Bush. This is a wonderfully insightful character piece and if you’re looking for new authors currently writing in this fandom, [livejournal.com profile] quigonejinn is definitely one to watch.
