yay! this is great. i actually read it this morning and then didn't comment, but mostly what i meant to say (i could have said then was) I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL AU!

how awesome is it that hornblower chases off the school bully? brilliant. although i guess he doesn't have to deal with a potential epic court marshall. man, i love lieutenant hornblower. it is so awesome and also gay.

also, i thought bush was going to die when he fell off the cliff... even though it was rationally too early for that. so, i was relieved when he didn't! and then everything was good :D :D
