the Dalaverse

All right. I'm going to attempt to do this Ten Things I've Done That You Probably Haven't...

1. Vomited in a trolley car several hundred feet in the air.
2. Held a baby alligator.
3. Done snow angels in the bare road in the middle of the night.
4. Camped in a treehouse with a metal roof during a thunderstorm.
5. Ran over a bee's nest on a trail ride.
6. Shoved a Pog in my best friend's eye.
7. Made up a song about presidents 17-33
8. Fell off a horse three times in fifteen minutes
9. Gotten hot chocolate spilled on my breeches during a show and having to wash them with four saddle pads and a horse blanket.
10. Sprained my ankle walking down the stairs.

....I need to go places.

Well, technically I have three left, but they're going to be a bit longer.

What better way to start the day than with Johnny's crotch?

berne requested Elizabeth's first journey on a ship and meletor_et_al wanted Norrington/Dauntless, so I cheat and strung them together, along with a Swann bit and a Gibbs bit to even things out.

Going to post a version of this to kiss_me_hardy as well, I think. I wish I had the Hornblower books handy, but they're Daddy's and they're at home.

1. How exactly does one get to be a midshipman? Does it have anything to do with money or blood or favors?
2. It seems to be fanon that Gillette is Norrington's first lieutenant and Groves his second. But is there any actual proof of this?
3. I'm assuming somebody would get court-martialed for the incident with the Interceptor. Norrington, Gillette, or both (and/or the captain of the ship, if Norrington doesn't count as such)? Would they have to go back to England for the trial? What's the lightest penalty I could get away with (I'm hoping for a demotion at the very most for Gillette, and a virtual slap on the wrist for Norrington)?

This is totally drbillbongo's fault.

Allow me to introduce you to the midshipmen who have been living in my brain for the past couple days. You may have met them before, but this time? This time they're horny. And beginning a series, tentatively titled "Brothers in Arms." The title of this installment is pilfered from a very early U2 song.

They done wore me out.

Way, way NC-17. Also very brief discussion of past sexual abuse, if you like to be warned about that sort of thing.

And not to beg or anything, but anybody who makes me an OT3 icon? I SHALL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER OMGWTF.
