A Witness to Courage by Fubsycations (PG-13)
Fandom: HORATIO HORNBLOWER
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: n/a
Why this must be read:
This is a gen story, very much a character piece. I don't tend to read much gen in Hornblower, for me its all about the character interaction and the relationships in this fandom. But this, this is something else, and it's beautiful and terrible and true.
It's 1809 and the shattered remnants of the British forces in Spain -- including the 95th -- are huddled in Corunna after a 250 mile retreat to the coast. Captain Horatio Hornblower's is among the ships that arrive to evacuate the survivors, among them Horatio's old acquaintance Major Edrington. Fubyscations' characterization of Edrington here is both perfect and heartbreaking. And the interaction, the little details, every aspect rings terribly true. Based on a true event, this is a gut-wrenching and powerful look at the terrible cost of war and the terrible strength of courage.
