I actually tried to give writing some of the things that we've been talking about, and then realized that
1. One of the more difficult parts of pulling off this fic is figuring out how Archie sees that Horatio has changed. What would be enough to convince him? And how do you set the story so that Archie gets to see enough of Hornblower to figure it out? The books aren't much guidance here at all because we're so deeply inside Hornblower world. :/
2. I made a vague-ish sketch of the outline for the story that felt natural to me, and uh. This is going to be one motherfucking massive fic if I try to do it, which means
3. You should write this thing and make it one of your compact, brilliant wonders :D
O.O Trips Money Can't Buy
Best metaphor. For captain-sex. EVER.
