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

2) Five things Hornblower never told Bush.

[quigonejinn.livejournal.com]

1. Snoring. (with regards to Bush)
2. Tone-deaf. (with regards to Hornblower)
3. The arm over the chest -- Hornblower lay under Bush's arm for a while, listening to the rain and the birds starting to wake. Bush was snoring; Brown seemed to sleep silently, and the rain stopped. Hornblower got up and walked out to the where the boat was, and Bush never knew that he'd put his arm over his captain.
4. Hornblower bought the fruit with his last hard cash on hand. While Bush was still weak and while the prize money had not come through, Hornblower made do with ship's rations while the bumboats went up and down the sides with promises of fresh meat and fruit and vegetables and women. Hornblower just set his jaw and squared his shoulders.
5. One night, in Gracay, Hornblower woke and thought, for a moment, that he had returned to the bank by the side of the Loire. There was the sound of rain, and the birds were starting to wake.

Marie was in her room, though, and Hornblower was alone in bed. The arm that he'd felt lying on his chest was, in fact, his own.
