Yuletide Reveal

[zana16]

I wrote a story in one of my favorite fandoms, Hornblower. We matched on the books and then I remembered that canon review would entail rereading all thirteen -- which I'd like to do! But not during an already-stressful holiday season! My recipient requested the miniseries as well, so my thought process was, "Hmm, Bush's POV would be interesting, or hey, I really like Pellew, or -- ARCHIE. ARCHIE ARCHIE ARCHIE ARCHIE ARCHIE." Sadly, I had to go with "optional details are optional" since they asked for a happy ending and I have never been one of those people who can throw out canon and say "no way, this character totally survived." There is a Dead Kennedys joke in there somewhere but I just can't make it work.
