Despatches

Note from the Editor:
A very brief reminder of Despatches' purpose here: To promote the Age of Sail fandom on Dreamwidth by linking to communities, fannish creations and other items of interest primarily on Dreamwidth. The major exceptions to this are blogs on platforms such as Blogger or Wordpress, and the annual Perfect Duet Christmas calendar, where entries may be on LJ rather than DW. If you know anyone who produces Age of Sail entries on Dreamwidth, or if you're a member of any AoS community not watched by despatch_reader, please let me know!

Fanfic:
A Dunking by justincase; Aubreyad; PG; Jack, Stephen; Based on Jack telling Sophie that Hen had saved Jack from drowning early in their careers.
