Note from the Editor:
Hope you've all had a good week! Welcome to our newest contributor, [personal profile] nautacarus, who has brought a couple of Hornblower fics for us. I would also like to remind you that if you have a fic or a vid - or even some screencaps or icons - that you wish to have included in the Rec of the Week slot, all you have to do is to post a comment including a link. The Rec of the Week is not limited to items hosted here on DW, and can include anything you would like to share with the wider fandom.

Fanfic:
These Old Shadesby [personal profile] esteven; Aubreyad; PG; Jack, Stephen; If Jack and Cochrane ever met, the universe might implode?
A Peacetime Manoeuvre by [personal profile] nautacarus; Hornblower; G; Hornblower/Pellew (or none, depending on how you look at it); Hornblower’s lips pursed in concentration as his target came into range.
Nostalgia by [personal profile] nautacarus; Hornblower; R; Bush/Hornblower; Bush was used to watching Hornbower, but he was not used to Hornblower watching him.
Curiosity by [personal profile] latin_cat; Aubreyad; 18 (NC-17); Pullings/Marshall (unrequited); om Pullings, Master’s mate of the Sophie, wonders about William Marshall. Set just pre-Aubreyad.

Son et Lumière:

Of historical interest:
[wordpress.com profile] austenblog tells us that The Watsons sells for nearly a million pounds

Miscellany and meta:
[personal profile] vanilla_elf tells us about the new releases from Seaforth Publishing

Communities and challenges:
[community profile] mandc_read will be reading The Commodore this week

Rec of the Week:
This week's rec is a fic that was featured a few issues ago: Of the Identification of Weeds by [personal profile] feroxargentea; Aubreyad; G; Stephen Maturin and the Aubrey family; He watched the crouching infant lean forward, further and still further, until it fell face-first onto the soft ground, bewildered but undaunted (Spoilery for The Mauritius Command, but supposes that campaign had a different outcome.)

Got a link for the next issue? Please comment and let us know. Remember to please tell your AoS friends about us. The more, the merrier, after all! And if you would like to include a particular favourite of yours in Rec of the Week, please leave a comment with a link.
