Re: BEFORE I FORGET HAVE TWO LINKS
Date: 2013-03-09 08:49 pm (UTC)What, AGAIN? XD He is worse with money than Hornblower! *g*
Ugh, you make Jack/Stephen sound so dramatic and tragic (and unrequited, because Stephen would not risk having his heart broken by committing himself), but I can see that. I mean, just look at the way Diana can completely destroy Stephen with just a word or two, because he is so attached to her. It's not like Jack doesn't take his relationships to heart, but with Stephen they just run deeper.
I can really see this work, Horny doesn’t commit himself any easier than Stephen after all
I am not so sure about that. Horny does sleep around too. Long-term relationship wise though, yeah, he would prefer to persue partners whom he thinks he will be able to keep for a while, but the reality (at least in book canon ;) ) looks somewhat different. He isn't nearly as wise as Stephen in that regard, he only wishes he were. ;)
(You should write that fic though. Stephen crushing on Horny, because he doesn't dare risk Jack, while Horny is at first oblivious and then considers what a good companion Stephen might make. All the while Bush is sharpening a knife (or a duelling sword ;) ) to impale Stephen on while Jack is all "??? what is happening?" and has to bodily drag Stephen back to his ship. ;)

Date: 2013-03-10 07:22 am (UTC)I wasn't sure anymore whether you had already read HMS Surprise or not so uhhh, no, he manages to stay out of prison after that (debtor's prison, that is xD). But yeah, I think no one is as worse as Jack when it comes to money... not entirely his fault but ill-advised decisions TO THE MAX. God, I love him being such an idiot on land <33
He isn't nearly as wise as Stephen in that regard, he only wishes he were. ;)
Okay, that helps mending my broken heart. I'm still in the middle of "Atropos" and Horny is having people dive for treasures while making racist comments. Adorable. AND I AM MISSING BUSH SO HARD IT'S CRAZY. Horny is being all cranky and snappy all the time, Bush needs to come around and give his captain a spanking to knock some sense into him >.<
It's not like Jack doesn't take his relationships to heart, but with Stephen they just run deeper.
^ THIS SO MUCH. I mean I adore how Stephen gets his heart broken in HMS Surprise (by Dil, by him killing Canning and of course by Diana) but only because Jack quickly notices and starts fretting like a mother hen which is cute and adorbs and awww, those two idiots, seriously!!!
You should write that fic though
I should indeed. To further the healing process, I'd turn it into a comedy with everyone running around and not talking to each other and silently planning their revenge (Bush and Jack could team up to spoil Horny's dates with Stephen, Stephen would totally guilt trip himself because deep down he only loves Jack but he is too afraid of getting hurt... man, this sounds like Jane Austen xD)
*has horrible vision of CLAMP style AoS fiction*
Well, it could work what with the eyepatches and all that and seriously, I am missing a Pirate-world in Tsubasa Chronicles! XDDDD
And now I will go and beat some sense into Stephen, convincing him that Jack will always stay with him, he'd perhaps even leave wife and child behind for him, ALSO WARUM STELLT STEPHEN SICH SO AN ASJDLSAKJDKSJD
Re: BEFORE I FORGET HAVE TWO LINKS
Date: 2013-03-10 12:34 pm (UTC)Ugh, Atropos must be my least favourite Hornblower because of that middle part (i. e. the main plot). Also, no Bush makes me sad. Luckily he is back for the next one -- which is actually the first and the most racist of them all (but not as racist as the movie based on it. Serious, Hollywood, brownface??). And also the one in which Hornblower has his biggest "wtf, you jerk!" moments, imo. :P But he also naked a lot of the time, so that is ok. And it has one of the best ever ship vs. ship actions I have ever read. ♥
OMG DIL! Like, WHY, O'Brian, you bastard! He just gave her a present and it got her killed, and OMG!
I loved the bits though in which Jack tried to protect Stephen from Diana's harmful influence and completely failed at it. d'awww. And then his worry when Stephen is wounded and he has to assist the operation and nearly faints, and has to sit down. Awww, babies!
YESYESYES THIS SOUNDS PERFECT!!!! Bush and Jack would make terrific cock-blockers. ;)
Also, well, O'Brian is a male Jane Austen, so it would only be fitting ...
(And Jack could totally keep himself in check (a bit) if only Stephen told him that's what he wanted)
it could work what with the eyepatches
And this being clamp, eyepatches would be in high demand. XD

OH MY GOD YES ALL OF THIS. It's so hearbreaking and Jack is so utterly helpless - I mean EVEN HE NOTICES that Stephen is digging his own grave with that and he is so cute when he tries to stop him...
In my head the whole book is basically this:
Jack: "Look, I know I banged her and all that, not cool, I know, but please for my sake don't go there she will drain you like a sparkly vampire and she will be standing over your cold dead body, laughing like a madwoman."
Stephen: "OUT OF MY WAY. I WILL SO GET INTO THOSE PETTICOATS!"
... I should write a parody to this. Not that these books need any more humor, but still.
nd Jack could totally keep himself in check (a bit) if only Stephen told him that's what he wanted
Still sobbing but somehow the tragedy of the pairing and this bit here are speeding up the healing process. xDDDD I AM WAY TOO ROMANTIC FOR THESE NAVAL ADVENTURES SERIOUSLY!
Re: BEFORE I FORGET HAVE TWO LINKS
Date: 2013-03-11 06:43 pm (UTC)The books not. That storyline in particular though? Yes, please. XD It's too heart-breaking otherwise. *g*
Though I love how once it looks like Stephen and Diana have made up Jack is once again defending her honor. Aww, he's such a gentleman. *g*
Awww, but M&C is a romance. Just not a very happy one. D:
