The 5 Things Meme.

[quigonejinn]

You know the drill.

Do me a favor and ask for five things. My fandoms are: Star Wars, Hornblower, RPF for Paul McGann and/or other Hornblower actors, Supernatural, West Wing, Venture Brothers, Boondock Saints and really, anything that you might desire to see done in a halfassed way. If anybody wants it, I'll even write Battlestar Galactica, Nip/Tuck, and Harry Potter.

Be greedy and ask for lots. I'm in a rut these days, and writing these short little things will help me pare down my blather tendencies. :D

5 ways that Horatio was unkind to Archie but didn't mean to be

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

5. HE WON'T EAT HIS GODDAMN FISH

1. The atrocities that Horatio committed against Spanish when they were in prison together. It's a wonder he ever struggled into something approaching conversational level in French -- never mind the fact that his grammar is still better than Archie's. The man is tone-deaf.

2. The time that Horatio accidentally reminded Archie just how he came to be the senior of them: Archie had come into the service first, after all, and Horatio made a joke about how he had now accumulated more sea time than Archie. It was funny at the time, and Horatio realized the impact once he had said it, but the damage was done.

As much as Archie likes to joke about what happened at the Spanish prison, he doesn't like to actually be reminded of it.

3. Horatio is Horatio is Horatio. There's nothing intended to be unkind in that, but it works that way. Horatio is Horatio, and the fact that he exists and that he is Archie's closest friend only makes it worse. Really, this is the crux of it.

4. "Do you think we'll have long in Kingston?" Cruel only in retrospect.

5. "Archie, Archie -- " Horatio's mourning on the deck of the Renown. It made dying more bittersweet, and this cruelty filled Archie's last days on Kingston.

Haha, number one is hilarious. So true, too. Sounds just like something Archie would say. And number 3? Also so true and something that Archie certainly had to come to terms with, I'm sure.

Number 4 and 5? *wails and wails* God. You always break my heart. In the best of ways, of course.
