An Unnnatural Condition by Cori Lannam (PG-13)
Fandom: HORNBLOWER
Pairing: Horatio/Archie

Author Website: Cori Lannam's Fan Fiction
Why this must be read:
Stories set in and around the movie "Retribution" naturally tend to be fairly dark in nature due to the tragic turn of events. An Unnatural Condition is no fixit but rather a story that transpires off screen utilizing an unusual and extremely provocative point of view on those events, that of Captain Hammond. Hammond's uncompromising and seemingly cold-blooded perspective on events is fascinating to see all the more because as an outsider he perhaps sees things more clearly than the other characters in the story including Commodore Pellew with whom he shares the story. Cori makes excellent use of this secondary character whose presence and words in this story have striking resonance with the later movie "Loyalty." It's a striking story, sad and unsentimental, and a reminder of the harsh demands made upon the officers in His Majesty's service.
