Hey, thanks for letting me drive the Hornblower van this month.  It was a great ride and I hope I took you down some scenic roads!!! 

Fandom: HORATIO HORNBLOWER
Pairing: AU: Horatio Hornblower/William Bush; Horatio Hornblower/Napoleon
Author on LJ:  [profile] dastier
Author's Website: Rammstein Fan Fiction
Why this MUST be read: I, being one of the queens of crack in the Hornblower fandom, cannot pass up a chance at reading a well-written AU story.  I can't.  Frankly, I can't seem to pass up reading any of [profile] dastier's stories, even though she does not usually write (or like) AU's.  *G*  But this one is EXCEPTIONAL.   This one is a cyberpunk AU using the characters in the Horatio Hornblower novels and movies, and even some historical figures.  This is like... Blade Runner meets Hornblower, or something like tnat and I'm avoiding using references to The Matrix, but you get the idea.  Not to mention, the very idea of William Bush in aviator goggles and a leather jacket makes both myself and [profile] dastier melt like so much arced-out plastic wire sheathing.  If you like Hornblower, you will love this.  If you love cyberpunk you will really love this.


"I’m Bush," says the stranger and thus ceases to be strange, as is expected to happen after introductions; only it doesn’t work so well with HNelsonH this time.

He forces his vision to focus on the new man: shorter than himself, the regular trench coat replaced by a more practical leather jacket, aviator goggles pushed up to the forehead to reveal exceptionally blue eyes.

"Which one, senior or junior?"

"Neither." Bush laughs good-naturedly at the common joke of the Islanders about the U.S.’ perpetual president duo.
