We are reading Chapter five this weekend if it pleases you. :)

I'd missed closing a tag properly when listing the Read. Apologies!

There was an Aubrey-Maturin fanfic, Requiescat in Pace written by
justincase in perfect_duet posted this last week. I think it deserves a little boost.

[sharpiefan]

justincase has written loads of things I'd love to include. Tell her to start adding at least a rating to her stuff, and I'll list it in Despatches. this is a useful post (I hope!) about what to do to get your work listed on Despatches.

I have left a comment on her last fic, Requiescat in Pace</> and she has added an extra line with a rating of "Adult Material, age 18+ appropriate.
