The tempest, by Shimere277 (NC-17)

Fandom: Drake's venture
Pairing: Thomas/Francis
Author on lj: [livejournal.com profile] shimere277
Author's website: Index of Shimere's fics

Why this *must* be read: Among all the -mostly false- accusations against Doughtie, the one of being a sorcerer, able to conjure storms is one of the most surprising ones. What if he really *had* this power? It's the premise of the fic. Luckily Doughtie has not been executed, only whipped (probably). Now comes the moment when Drake's small fleet has to face the terrible tempests of the Magellan Straights.

It's a very hot fic, and very clever. And you'll find an originality: it's rare enough that such a hot fic leaves one of the characters unsatisfied! The sex is quite... passionate.
