Author Website: Hafren's Gloomy Patch of the Forest
Why this must be read:
This fic admittedly has the double kiss of fandom popularity death. It's not only gen, but it's also G-rated. Nobody dies. Nobody gets stabbed. No bits go into anybody or anyplace else, and it's not even written by somebody who spends a lot of time spamming fandom.
Still, though, it's a fic that should have a place in the heart of anybody who really, really does love Age of Sail fic. There are wonderful, authentic details. There is subtlety. There is storytelling. There is emotion. After reading it, you get a sense of the writer, of the intended reader, and, above all, of the period for which it was written.
All in less than 500 words. All spun out of the author's head. You can't really ask for more. Fantastic stuff.
