The One Who Holds The Seven Stars by Marginalia (PG)
Fandom: MASTER AND COMMANDER
Pairing: Aubrey/Maturin, because there's a kiss, but really, it's nothing that would be out of place in the canon.

Why this must be read:
This is apocalypse fic, but despite being quite properly serious and not funny at all, it somehow manages to be the most uplifting and inspiring apocalypse fic I've ever read. (And I've read way too much apocalypse fic.) It's nicely written, but the thing that really stands out for me is Jack and Stephen's responses to said apocalypse. Seriously, I just melted. It's so them, and such a great illustration of everything I love about their relationship: they have bad things, sometimes really bad things, but they still love each other.
Plus, did I mention the dialogue? I am complete and total sucker for good dialogue. I find being able to hear the characters speak is the biggest hurdle to believable fanfic, and this clears it easily. I would kind of flail a bit longer, but really, this is worth reading, so get to it already.
