Universe: TVverse characterisation
Why this must be read:
For some time nowesmerelda_t has been peddling this barmy little universe featuring Horatio Hornblower and Archie Kennedy after the Napoleonic wars as a doddering old aristocratic couple, living with Archie's spoilt puppy Bartholemew and visited periodically by William Bush. I speak here as a committed UST serious business angst fangirl: If you can't stand dangerous levels of whimsy, comedy pooches, harrumphing, jolly housekeepers, camp characterisations, sexually active old men, and a world in which our angsty fandom's angstiest couple are living openly, soppily and happily ever after, this is still the fic for you because there is basically no resisting it.
Though it's an ongoing series, the stories can also be read and grasped individually, so I'm excusing this from the no-WIP rule.
A Night On The Town
"He stole my cat, you know!” Archie’s lower lip wavers at the last statement, “but he’s dead now! Poor Marmalade!” With that Archie bursts into tears while Hornblower rolls his eyes. Marmalade has received more drunken eulogies than Nelson over the years.
