May Prompts

[sanguinity]

Each month, we'll post a trio of prompts -- a theme, a quote, and a trope -- for you to use as a jumping-off point in whatever medium pleases you. Anything goes, fiction or meta, from drabbles through dissertation chapters on textual analysis. Fic, art, photo-essays, vids, and more are welcome.

• For May, the theme is Weevils. Literal weevils or metaphorical weevils? Weevils that devour the ship's bread, or weevils that fatten the ship's chickens?
  
  
• The quote is from the A&E miniseries episode, "The Examination for Lieutenant," aka "The Fireships":

  Each of us can find a maggot in our past which will happily devour our futures.

  
  
• The trope is Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence. Different first meeting? Everybody lives? What change might you make to canon, and with what effect?

Mix and match the prompts, or use just one! Then come back and share what you made, here or in a new post.

And if you haven't yet, please check out the fills for April:

• tgarnsl: Eosphorus (Hornblower/Bush; T)
  
• colebaltblue: Jack Aubrey Read the Room Wrong (Aubrey/Hornblower, Aubrey/Bush, implied Hornblower/Bush; M)
  
• sanguinity: Solace and Comfort (excerpt) (implied Hornblower/Bush; G)
  
• brewsternorth: Strong, Dark, and Early (Hornblower/Bush; T)

First off, I encourage you to make this a new post, where people are more likely to see it, in case people other-than-me have suggestions!

Let's see, I enjoyed binz and shiplizard's The Man in the Seine, in which Bush is the Doctor. It's a prequel to this Big Finish audio that doesn't exist.

I also enjoyed neveralarch's Masts and Rigging and Things, a humorous little ditty about the Master meeting Lt. Bush and also hating the 19th century.

Just a little sideways from your request, brewsternorth has written a Doctor Who x C.S. Forester story: A Lie Twice Told (Eighth Doctor & C.S. Forester RPF)

And that's about all I've read personally.
