After The Fire by Sheila Rated: FRM - Mature starstarstar [Reviews - 5] Featured Stories
Summary: What if Horatio hadn't made it off the fire ship unscathed? Pairing: Pellew/Hornblower Note: This story is based on the A&E Hornblower universe, and it will probably make more sense if you've seen the episode, "The Fire Ships." This story is unbeta'ed, so all mistakes are mine!

Intermezzo by Rach74 Rated: [Reviews - 0] Featured Stories
Summary: William Bush/Archie Kennedy An interlude in my Kingston Days Universe (KDU) Although AU, it is set just after the aired movie ‘Duty.’ Archie ponders Horatio’s marriage and impending fatherhood as William sleeps. Author’s Notes: The title refers to the fact that in the KDU time scale, this story falls in between ‘Homecoming’ and ‘Affirmation.’ While neither story is exactly ‘substantial,’ they are certainly both longer than this one! Thanks once again to, black_hound who pointed out why the first draft wasn’t quite ‘right’ and to hotspur18 for the beta.

Journey's End by Rach74 Rated: FRAO - Adult [Reviews - 0] Featured Stories
Summary: PWP in my KDU. Set in the Peace of Amiens. William returns from a trip to see his sisters. He is pleased to see Archie and the feeling is oh so mutual. This is the companion piece to ‘Reunion.’ Which is the same scene as this story but from Archie’s pov. The most wonderful black_hound inspired this fic.

Kingston Days by Rach74 Rated: FRAO - Adult [Reviews - 0] Featured Stories
Summary: Pairing: William Bush /Archie Kennedy

Authors Notes: This is set directly post Retribution aka HH2, but Archie isn’t dead. While stuck in Kingston recovering from their wounds, William Bush and Archie Kennedy form a strong friendship that turns into more. This is from a plot bunny I had a while ago, but it took some time to find what I wanted to do with it, and when it would work best.

Thanks to: Pamdram and warinbabylon for the help, encouragement and beta and to a friend who usually doesn’t read slash for the polish! Thanks girls. All mistakes are my own.

Tactics of Desperation by Rach74 Rated: FRM - Mature [Reviews - 0] Featured Stories
Summary: William Bush/Horatio Hornblower

William Bush has lost his way at Sheerness in a haze of alcohol. Hornblower struggles to help him back. Post Flying Colours.

Disclaimer: I think these characters belong to The CS Forester Estate and A&E/Granada. I mean no disrespect and am not making any money from this. The characters merely inspire me.

Non-sexual spanking, corporal punishment. I do not in any way countenance this as a method of discipline, but this is the C19th, and life was very different then.
