Summary
Erotic conversation between Bush and Hornblower leads to hot naval action. This story is an alternate ending to Lieutenant Hornblower, in which Hornblower invites his comrade-in-arms (and only friend in the world) Lt. Bush to share his lodging in Highbury Street. The last chapter is filled with slashy innuendo, longing gazes, and heartfelt emotion. Due to various circumstances, the two men don't actually spend the night together, but I imagined what would happen if they did. The story takes place in the novel-verse, though I was inspired by the actors who played the characters in the A&E series - Ioan Gruffudd as Hornblower and Paul McGann as Bush.

Summary
Raffles watches, and feels like he is falling, or perhaps like he is already at the pit of something, staring up at a pinprick of light. ‘You regrettably never really made me do the things I truly desired,” Bunny says then.
The parlor is quite suddenly too stuffy to bear, and Raffles gasps.
“What? What did you truly desire?” He asks, breath so tight in his throat it stings with each sharp inhalation.
