A Right Bastard by anglopollyanna (PG)

Why this must be read:

Sure, it's one of those ficlets about a totally random person that you don't remember from canon. Sure, it's very short, and there's no sex. Nevertheless, this is an compelling read -- [livejournal.com profile] anglopollyanna turns out some brilliant phrases. She conveys emotion in a compressed, masterly way, and this fic is just brimming with elements and detail to delight the Napoleonic War buff.

Thought-provoking stuff whether you're a fan of movie Edrington or book Edrington or no Edrington at all.
