Man. I had to read that paragraph in Flying Colours twice, actually, because I was so totally sure that I completely hallucinated the text on the page that says BUSH STROKED HORATIO'S HAND LIKE HE WOULD A WOMAN'S.
Sure, Forester, say in the next sentence that this is the first time that either of them has ever shown affection for the other, but uh. Sorry, m'boy. You shouldn't have then written the book where Bush gets prickly looking at Horatio's naked bum and where Horatio rushes across a deck littered with bodies to hold Bush's face in his hands, etc, etc, etc.
So yeah. I'm glad that the fic reminded you of that moment. The story popped into my head when I was thinking about that scene, actually, so I tried to steal as much of the language from there and subsequent Bush/Horatio cuddling as I could because djfghdf. Writing moviefic is hard enough, but Forester leaves some intimidating footsteps to follow. :/
And. Randomly, just to consolidate two threads -- if you ever want to talk about the process of selecting the frames to put together that vid, I'd love to hear it. Getting to hear lots and lots about the thought that goes into quality creative productions is one of my favorite parts of fandom.
