Rec of the Week:
(Oops - nearly forgot this! My bad!!) This week's rec is from feroxargentea, who says: Can I rec this fic, even though it's not on DW? It recently turned up on AO3 - a few years old but new to me. It's from the POV of the little orphan girl that Stephen Maturin rescued from a smallpox-ridden Melanesian island, telling the side of the story that Patrick O'Brian ignored. The Language of home by hedda62; M&C; Gen; Sarah Sweeting, Emily Sweeting, Stephen Maturin, Jemmy Ducks; Rescued island girl Sarah Sweeting reflects on her life aboard Surprise.
