Fics and Pics

The Forsyte Saga arrived today from inlovewithnight - thank you, darling! Cue much anticipatory squeeing over Ioan as Bosinney - I don't expect to mind the straightened hair, even. I mean, he was missing the curls as Freddy Bywaters in Another Life and still managed to be smoking scorching hot.

And look, new icon! This is my vision of Horatio in inlovewithnight's Racket Boys universe, a Hornblower gangster AU. Two parts so far: Racket Boys and Luck May Have Died. I'm not usually much of a fan of AU's, but this one rocks, and it's entirely due to inlovewithnight's deft hand with characterisation and the way she introduces little familiar touches of plot and background from the original. Recommended reading if you're a Hornblower fan, even if AU's are not your usual cup of tea!

There are three pics from the same shoot under the cut - they're what I immediately saw in my head when I read the first scene of Luck May Have Died, where Horatio's waiting for Archie to be released from prison. I couldn't remember where I'd seen them before, so it took much dedicated research on Ioan Online to track them down - oh, the suffering! *g*

( You can almost believe he's a hitman... )
