Good day fellow pervs, I'll be at the tiller of the "Hornblower" Crack-Jollyboat this month. Please keep your arms and legs in the boat and don't taunt the oarsmen. I tend to like damned near anything well-written, but I'm a shameless Archiefan. This month, I will do my best to branch out. I'm also going to try to give a good example of the various sorts of "Hornblower" stories out there, from farce to faux-academia, to the fixit, to the wallow. Now, let's get those oars in the water and get this Crack-Jolly moving!
Fandom: HORNBLOWER
Pairing: Horatio/Archie/Edrington

Why this must be read: Horatio/Archie/Edrington three-way bedroom farce. What other reason do you need? Thankfully, you get lots of other reasons, like widget's articulate wit, typical ease with the writing of the period and the lifestyle, and demonstration of characterization through dialogue. Horatio is earnest, serious, and sweet, Archie is a charming libertine, and Edrington is his typical suave, overconfident self -- only this time he's got two lieutenants around who are only too eager to bring him down a peg or two.
Oh, and there's the sex. ;-9
Edrington invites the Indefatigable's two sexiest lieutenants to his family home during a protracted stay in England with an eye toward having a little surreptitious fun. Lts. Hornblower and Kennedy turn the tables, with incredibly hot, hilarious results.
This is an excellent example of "light and witty" flavor of "Hornblower" story, and it's got its pretty, bittersweet moments as well.
Although he was tired, Horatio suddenly felt oddly restless. He wandered into the hallway and paused before Archie's door, reluctant to disturb him. He rapped his knuckles lightly against the wood.
"Archie?"
"Come in, Horatio," came the slightly muffled reply.
Horatio opened the door and found himself in a room that was every bit as palatial as his own. Indeed, apart from a few minor details - the color of the draperies and the silk wall coverings and the placement of the privy - it was essentially the twin of his own. Archie was sprawled across the bed, still fully dressed, his arms spread wide. He raised his head and smiled at Horatio.
"Isn't this wonderful, Horatio? My God, you could berth the Indy's entire complement of midshipmen on this bed and still have room left over for Oldroyd's pet goat!"
Horatio chuckled. "I don't think I want to know how you came up with that particular combination, Mr. Kennedy," he said as he walked over to the bed and gazed fondly down at its occupant.
Archie rolled over to the side nearest to him and looked up at Horatio, his gaze smoldering. It was a look Horatio knew well and in hindsight he should have been forewarned of what came next. With the suddenness of a feline pouncing on a mouse, Archie reached upwards and grabbed the lapels of Horatio's jacket and yanked hard, tumbling him down on the bed. Horatio had only enough time to squeak out his shipmate's name before Archie pinned him to the soft mattress and kissed him with shocking fervor.

Will do.
... please go ahead and link directly to the fic.
This particular website doesn't seem to permit linking as it uses frames in a way that prevents remote linking. AFAICT, you do need to go through the front page every time.
