This is a little 'verse I wanted to write in where Bush and Hornblower are professors at a small liberal arts college on the East Coast. Hornblower is a mathematics professor. Bush is an engineering professor who just moved there from a large public research university in Texas. The school doesn't have its own engineering program, but rather has a relationship with a couple of top-tier programs that it funnels students into after completing their general education requirements at the liberal arts college. Bush was hired to bolster the academic rigor and increase the preparedness of the "pre-engineering" students.

Right now, in this universe, Mariah is a good friend, roommate, and bartender at his favorite bar. Archie is Hornblower's best friend and a history professor. I'm not sure about any further history.

I've got three complete, but unedited stories written - Morning, Noon, and Night - that chronicle different moments in the Bush/Hornblower relationship. I also have a couple of half-written vignettes. I don't have any current plans to post these anywhere else online (basically, AO3 since I don't post anywhere else) since I'm focusing on some other Hornblower fic and these are very low in the priority list.

If you'd like to see more in this 'verse I do take prompts! What will likely result is a vignette of about 1,500-3,000 words. I'll post it here at the DW community.

Anyway, since Hornblower is a mathematics professor, I wanted to post these for our August prompts!
