I can't imagine that he'd be able to convince himself to keep something from it, and somehow, I don't think he'd be able to ask Archie's parents. *______* So it'd be a little play with all of those fics that always have Hornblower able to save things, you know? After Archie's gone, he doesn't have anything left to him from that period except his career and his friendship with Bush.

Terrible. Terrible.
