It never occured to me that he would have needed a new chest after the Sutherland
That was the part that dragged me out of bed this morning because I was making up all these terrible, terrible emo stories, and then I realized that Bush would have any of these things because of those WRETCHED LOOTING Frog bastards ROBBING HIM WHILE HE WAS HELPLESS AND PRE-STUMPY.
And yeah.
You're exactly right. There's just something deeply resonant about the notion Bush carrying everything he owns in the world with him aboard ship, isn't there? It emphasizes how deeply he's tied to the wooden girls. They're everything that he's ever loved, the only thing he's ever known. When he comes aboard one of them, it just makes sense that he gives them everything.
Poor Hornblower. Why hasn't someone written a paintastic AU where Napoleon never rises again for the 100 Days Reign and HH stays in France with Marie?
