Untitled (After Dinner) by Billytaylor (R)

Fandom:  HORATIO HORNBLOWER
Pairing:  Horatio Hornblower/William Bush
Author on LJ:  [profile] billytaylor
Why this must be read:   Billy's writing is tight... tight and lovely and full of such heart-bursting sentiment. Not to mention, it's rather *cough* hot, thanks.  This untitled piece has one of the very best lines I've ever read in Hornblower fandom:

“Why can’t I marry you?” Hornblower whispered more to himself than anyone.

I absolutely love the way Billy's mind works.  This takes place in bookverse in and around "Hornblower and the Hotspur."  It's a fantastic voyage into the relationship between Hornblower and Bush, and in all actuality, the very end of this story shows just how and why Bush had no problem whatsoever with Hornblower being promoted captain over Bush's head.  No problem at all.   Enjoy this.  I did immensely.
