Navyboys and Pirates

[donnaimmaculata]

In fannish news, shiny new fandom is still shiny. I wrote six Hornblower fics since October. This makes it officially my second most proficient fandom after Harry Potter.

Apparently, all it took to get me hooked were pretty navyboys


exchanging soul-searching looks


and being angsty.

And so there's more navyboy porn:

TITLE: Fearless
AUTHOR: Donna Immaculata
RATING: NC-17
WORD COUNT: 3500
PAIRING: Horatio/Archie
DISCLAIMER: These are not my characters. I just take them out to play.
SUMMARY: The morning after; Archie angsts and Horatio is speechless.
NOTES: For eglantine_br, who asked for a “second-time” fic. Consider it a birthday present. I didn’t know it was your birthday today until I saw anteros_lmc’s post, but I have planned to post it today anyway and am now very pleased with my timing.




In other seafaring news: I watched Treasure Island with a couple of friends last week, and we had a blast. I can't say whether it's a good show, but it's got Eddie Izzard as a very charismatic Long John Silver - and that's all it takes to make me happy.



There's also some serious costume porn going on, Frodo goes mad and Gene Hunt is as masterful as ever.








Seriously, costumes. Who made them? They're fab.


As are the pirate haircuts


and teef.


Frodo goes mad


and wants cheese.


Gene Hunt tells everyone off


agrees to a parley with Action Transvestite Long John Silver


and is a leader of men.


Long John is seriously fabulous


and a father figure to the boy who comes of age and finds treasure.


Also, there's a parrot.


And after we had watched Treasure Island, one of my co-watchers outed herself as a fan of Age of Sail kind of movies. And so I told them about that one show I watched, with ships and battles and naval officers, and if all goes well, we'll be watching Hornblower together one of these days. They will totally pick up on the slash vibes. It will be brilliant.

This post has been brought to you by my period drama fetish that I discussed at length before.
