Why this must be read:

There's a darling moment in the book Lieutenant Hornblower when Hornblower brings the injured Bush a basket of fruit. The whole episode has a latent flirtation to it that is much celebrated but hard to pin down, but this writer simply grabs it and runs it deep into the dark, sensuous woods of angst and eroticism. This is a short, subtle, intensely erotic piece with a cinematic feel that is brimming so fully of UST it doesn't even need a) any mention of sex and b) the reader to be a Hornblower fan. I've recced this at my LJ before, but it needs far more attention than it ever got.

He senses Hornblower’s presence, his silence giving him away in the way that breathing and shifting would in other men.
