Why this must be read:
chateau_bleu defintely has a twisted mind, and it's a wonderful thing. *G* Breath depicts a side of Horatio Hornblower's character that we all know is there, lurking beneath, bubbling up now and then, but never revealing itself full-fledged -- until now. While this fic may not be everyone's "cup of tea," as
chateau_bleu says, and it depicts an act which is dangerous and possibly fatal, it works. It really does, with these characters... and with
chateau_bleu's writing, which is seamless and strong. When I read this, I literally gasped. Gasped, I tell you, and I understand that when this was originally written, the ending was done so that William Bush's fate was left unknown. What's more... the last line of this fic left me chilled and shuddering.
It was, according to the ancients, a death of sorts, and Hornblower hovered there, caught between one world and the next.
