Very sweet! :)

Why , in the name of God , Archie ALWAYS has to make the first move?
Is because Horatio is a dull? (yeah...)

Brilliant. Beautiful. Moving.

Wow. This is a truly excellently-written story. Your progression of the matters at hand, the dialogue, and the characterization seem almost effortless. A wonderful piece of writing.

A beautifully written, carefully nuanced story. Very elegant style and deft handling of emotion. I enjoyed this story highly and look forward to any future works..

Beautiful.

Lovely, Lovely... I love this story, so sweet...

*Blinks back tears of happiness.*

Only lacking in what William Bush of a later date- sorry had to bring him into it.

*hyper pagan-like dance around computer* You are a genius!

Lovely! Very well written (as usual). I've never even seen Horatio Hornblower, just knew your pen name from a couple of other fandoms...you made the characters come to life! Jas: If you don't like slash, don't read it!

OK! ARCH AND HORATIO ARE SOOOOO NOT GAY! WHAT IS UP WITH U CRAZY PEOPLE! JUST LEAVE THEM ALONE! THEY R JUST BEST FRIENDS! GEEZ!

I'm not really into slash as a rule, and I started your story not knowing that was what it was, but I have to say this is really, really, well written. I was very impressed with the quality of the descriptions and dialogue. I hope you write alot, because you have a real talkent for it.

All I can say is... wow. I'm beyond the point of remembering how many times I've read this story through, but it just gets better every time. Your prose is absolutely gorgeous, and the romance was beautiful in how subtle it all was. Amazing job, mate!

Interseting! You're a really great writer!
