Word count: 100
Characters involved: Kitty and Horatio
Character to give rum to: Let the two of ‘em split it, though I bet Kitty’ll end up with most of it.
Author: Tiamat’s Child
Notes: This is what comes of mixing Eliot, Auden, The Spoon River Anthology, and not enough sleep. See kids? Beware the lure of the modernists, especially late at night.

Title: Song of the Mariner
Author: KD (en_jeudi)
Rating: PG
Word count: I tried for 100. I did. But it’s nowhere near 100 words. It is, however, accidently exactly 300 words. Wow.
Characters involved: Matthews---Imagine Matthews, singing along with a fiddle, and ‘telling’ this song, in a rather hobbit-like way. And everyone join in on the chorus of this dreadful below-deck poetry!
Rum to: Matthews, for putting up with this.

Title:Sailor Boys
Rating:G
Word count:100 words
Pairings or characters involved:Archie and Horatio
Character to give rum to:Both our boys
Author and notes: An abbreviated poetic journey of I suppose the first 3 movies,but mostly the first!

Two young boys went to sea.
Horatio and Archie.
Poor young lads on the ship of hell.
A Captain who’s dying.
A crew who are slack.
An evil man who hates them deep.
What are two young boys to do?

Escape at last, a ship so fine.
A Captain ready to fight.
Soon danger loomed as their nemesis returns.
Evil Jack with murder in mind!
Poor little Archie lost at sea.
But the fighting captain ended Simpson’s killing spree.

Onward and upward our Horatio goes
Not forgetting his pal.

Fear turns to joy when captured by dons.
Archie is alive!

Title: bonny sweet ireland
Rating: PG
Word Count: O_o High. 900 words, or a little above. The spacing makes it hard to tell.
Character(s): Wolfe
Rum to: Foster.
Notes: Wolfe is... actually a quite fun character to play with. It seems best to read the poem out loud rather quickly whilst adopting an Irish accent. And for the record, the spoilers run rampant waving Irish flags.

Character to give rum to: Double rum? Okay, all to Archie! He can get drunk and give ol' Horatio a big kiss.
Author and notes: I can't write poems at all, so I liked the idea of Archie being in the same boat as me (pun intended), watching a sleeping Horatio and wanting to write a poem to him. :P

Title: God Rest Ye, Poor Horatio.
Rating: G
Rum to: Bush, for saving Horatio's dignity. :P
Notes: I was having a Hornblowerfest the other day and I watched The Dutchess and the Devil. I'd forgotten the scene where Horatio's freaking about about how to carve stuff and Bracegirdle makes a joke about carving monkey. I figured it was too good to pass up. :D

I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day!
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas Day in the morning!

In honor of this song, here's a set of three drabbles, involving first Christmases on three of Horatio's ships. (Not the Renown. Nobody's capable of any Christmas cheer on the Renown, and .. um. The real excuse is, I'd forgotten about it. xD) I hope that we're .. um .. allowed to write more than one, 'cos some challenges don't allow more than one entry, but .. if you only want to count my vote for Matthews as one, that's okay, too. ^^

Title: First Noel
Author: KD
Word count: 100
Rum to: Matthews :D
Characters: Horatio, Archie
Summary: Horatio's first Christmas at sea proves difficult save with the understanding of a friend.
Timeline note: I thought for a long while about how to work this into the timeline of the film, knowing that Horatio boards Justinian in January, and Clayton and Simpson duel in the snow. Assuming that a year passes rather than, you know, a month or so, based on how Horatio's character matures, I placed the Clayton-Simpson duel in January of the next year. If that's not how it is ... well, hell, it's only a hundred words. Deal with it. :)
