The Coefficient of Expansion by Idler (G)
Fandom: HORNBLOWER
Pairing: none
Author on LJ:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
idler_1814
Author Website: Just her journal which contains her HH fic and nothing else.
Why this must be read:
To my mind, this is the perfect drabble. Spare beautiful language works its magic to paint a bigger picture than would seem possible in just 100 words, suggesting how William Bush the blacksmith’s apprentice might have found his way to sea. I particularly love the way the title, taken from Bush’s own words in the one scene in Retribution in which he refers to his blacksmith connection, describes his progression from a stifling smithy to the "limitless sea". Tremendously accomplished in every way and a joy to read - and reread.
