Master and Commander: Aubrey/Maturin
The writing style fits well with the time period and O’Brian’s own style. Plotwise, it’s good, but either in the pacing or the plot itself, something still feels like it’s missing. Over all though, a good read.

A wonderful look at Jack and Stephen’s dynamic. It’s got such a good atmosphere, and provides great insight into the other side of battle.

Another Yultide story, this one is even shorter than Nesting Place, but it’s such a cute glimpse of Jack and Stephen at their most relaxed.

This is another story that tries to fill in the blanks surrounding Jack’s fight with Stephen and his subsequent shooting in the movie. She also wrote a follow-up story, Blood on the Moon.

The M&C universe fascinates me, O’Brien was a really brilliant writer, and very specific in his character’s voices, which is why it’s so hard for fic writers to get it right. But Pun does it masterfully. Her voces were, I thought, spot on and while this is a fairly short story, I thought is was a great take one Jack and Stephen’s dynamic.
