Hello! I'm subduction and I'm delighted to be reccing Horatio Hornblower as one of September's Monthly Featured Small Fandoms.

Fandom: HORATIO HORNBLOWER
Pairing: Horatio Hornblower/William Bush
Length: ~500 words
Author on LJ: quietcontrary
Author Website: LJ memories
Why this must be read:

When I searched for this fic in the crack_van memories, I was surprised to find it hadn't been recced previously, as it's one of my all-time, hands-down favourites in the fandom. quietcontrary packs a stunning amount of tension and heat into a tight, carefully-crafted few hundred words, and the combination of language and style make this one of the most immersive stories I've read in any fandom.

Bush's mouth is open and filled with the dark heat of the night.

Wow!

This was great!

It's a ferociously good fic. Why it was never recced before is one of life's eternal mysteries.
