For the second time in his life, Horatio Hornblower came face to face with a ghost long-believed dead and buried. Coincidentally, it was even the same ghost. Setting: January 1805, during Horatio Hornblower's command of HMS Hotspur; contains spoilers for and beyond episode 6 'Retribution'

Lady Foster is desperate to escape her life of loss, finding a use for her unusual talents at sea. A spy for king and country, she is racing to leave England behind. She has closed her heart forever but maybe she has found the one man who can open it once more. Non cannon, reviews very much appreciated :)

After Clayton's death, and before reporting to Indefatigable, there's time for leave, and for the boys to return home. But there is a lot left unresolved between them, and a lot they have to learn about each other. Pre-Slash turning into Slash...

As he jumped into the water, Hornblower wanted to scream. He hadn't realized just how many burns his body must have endured before jumping off the ship. Everything burned. Whumptober Day 14: Water Inhilation

"Do you want to try saying that again?" Simpson asks, seething in anger. Whumptober Day 8: Outnumbered

"He believed this was what was called solitary confinement, although despite his knowledge in the French language, he didn't know their word for it." Whumptober Day 3: Solitary Confinement

'Mr Hornblower would have gotten us out of here, he would have found us a nice little boat, got us away nice and easy.' – Mr Matthews, The Duchess and the Devil. Featuring a slightly less impulsive and more obedient Mr Hunter. One shot exploring how a Hornblower engineered escape might have gone. Set during The Duchess and the Devil.

Hornblower is forced to engage four ships of the line with one of his own. Must he sacrifice his ship to stop them? Or is there a better choice?

Set during the episode Examination for Lieutenant, after steering the fireboat away from the Indefatigable the young Hornblower's injuries are slightly worse than he first anticipated. Pride dictates that he doesn't let the crew know their full extant once back aboard ship, but Hornblower doesn't account for one thing - the loyalty of his friends.

(Book-verse, not the TV show.) How convenient was it that Maria dropped dead and Lady Barbara could adopt her son and marry Horatio? Too convenient! Fix-it fic for Maria fans.

So what exactly happened when Hammond and Foster met in a duel and what did Hornblower have to do with it?

Als Witwe und durch ein paar Kontakte ihre Adoptivvaters zur Admiralität der Royal Navy schafft es Hafwen Gwyther als Assistentin des Bordarztes auf die Justinian. Allerdings hat auch sie ein paar Leichen im Keller, von denen besser niemand etwas wüsste... später OC/Archie (Die HH-Charaktere gehören mir nicht und der Verlauf der Geschichte auch nicht.)

Horatio and Archie quarrel over, Simpson, cowardice, and the demands of duty.

Despite all the congratulations he has received since his engagement, Horatio struggles with doubt. If only Archie were there. He would have known what to say. In other words: One time that Horatio wished that Archie was still there for him. And one time when he actually was.

Siostry Bush. Z książek wiemy o nich tyle, że istniały i darzyły uwielbieniem brata, który przesyłał im regularnie połowę swojej pensji. Tu moje spojrzenie na starą prawdę o tym, że „to męska rzecz być daleko, a kobieca — wiernie czekać".

Nie tylko Horatio nie ma szczęścia do pryzowego, czasem pech dopada również porucznika Busha...

They say sentimentality aboard a ship-of-the-line is damning for any man. Death and destruction follow everyone in the teeth of war, oblivious of rank or privilege. But sometimes, regardless of every self-preserving conviction to the opposite, a man comes aboard that deserves every bit of such feeling - even from the captain himself. (A&E-verse short story)

The men of the Indefatigable are granted shore leave in time for Christmas, but a sudden illness casts a shadow of what was meant to be a joyful time.

Richard Hornblower, son of the illustrious Admiral Horatio Hornblower, grew up believing Lady Barbara, Horatio's second wife, was his mother. But when he learns the truth and makes a trip to Portsmouth to find out about his true heritage, there he discovers adventure, danger, and a friend in the feisty Aubrey Kennedy.

Krótka scenka z życia na okręcie, czyli Horatio rozpamiętuje, Pellew się troszczy, a Styles... cóż, Styles jest po prostu Stylesem.

Drabble (x5). Maria Hornblower is not so oblivious as she seems. She knows that she and the Hotspur are rivals, fighting for Horatio's attentions like the biblical Rachel and Leah. And she is all too aware which of the sisters she is.

When Sir Edward Pellew went in search of some creature comforts to ease a day's headaches, he never expected to reacquaint himself with a sorely missed comrade nor be caught up in the man's family matters (or perhaps better described, troubles). But never had the Admiral been so happily ensnared! (A&E-verse ficlet. Post-Duty)

Inspired by an old sea poem/song called "The Tryphena's Extra Hand." The first four lines are taken directly from the poem. Three separate times when Horatio is in need of an extra hand, and receives the help he needs. Set after "Retribution." Spoilers thereafter apply.

A one-shot of backstory for Horatio. Set in the schoolyard when he is ten years old, Horatio tries to join a game but it doesn't go as planned.

Drabble. Mathews reflects on the types of officers in the British Navy and where Mr. Hornblower falls. Just a quick character sketch. Please R&R.
