AUTHOR: Idler
CHARACTERS: Bush
RATING: G
DISCLAIMER: Not mine, not for profit
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I've had this hanging around and gathering dust for a while now; given the day, I thought I'd go ahead and post it. It's actually the prologue for a much longer--and still largely unfinished--project.

More archiving....

This one is pretty old, first posted in 1/03 to hhfic. It was written prior to the airing of HH3, and was my attempt to use the events of HH2 to explain a transition between the HH2 version of Hornblower to a character more consistent with book canon.

HH3 clearly proved that I was definitely not on the same page as the filmmakers!

This version is tweaked a bit from that originally posted; it uses a slightly alternate--though MY favorite--ending.

Oh....and, as always: PG, Gen
