Why this must be read:
So, it was about time to get to the porn, right? :D
Actually, porn is quite difficult in Master and Commander fandom. It's certainly not impossible, but O'Brian's style isn't really conduitive to anything most people might consider the hot smut. An even bigger problem is the actual situation of the people involved. Given that pretty much anybody who might be having sex is going to be, at most, maybe five feet away from other people who can hear and then quite possibly get you hanged for having said sex, it poses certain issues. This'd be why the shack on the beach from the movie gets so much action: it's one of the few places where some actual solitude is possible.
This story, though, managed to get round both of those issues by making a plot about it. This is, needless to state, a solution I'm really very pleased about, and wish more people would do it. By taking Jack and Stephen out of their normal world for a while, the smut somehow doesn't seem out of place at all. Even more impressively, it manages to avoid the incredibly depressing ending I thought was inevitable. It's really very... heartwarming, actually. I also love that the plot involves Jack being really incredibly unsubtle, because there is very little more canonical than that. Hee.
