Rec of the Week:
Both Sides of the Medal by

sarlania, Aubreyad/Hornblower crossover; G; Hornblower, Brown, Jack Aubrey; In 1816, Sir Thomas Cochrane was implicated in the Stock Exchange Fraud of 1814, fined a thousand pounds, sentenced to the pillory, struck from the Navy List and stripped of his knighthood. Patrick O’Brian used that for his novel the Reverse of the Medal, and this is the event as seen from Hornblower’s point of view (Spoilers for both Flying Colours (HH) and The Reverse of the Medal (Aubreyad))
