its always really funny to me when proshippers try and claim that like. the people against them are attempting to sanitize relationships because they can’t handle anything being less than morally pure. like, i could try and defend myself by saying I do genuinely like a lot of hero/villain relationships & seeing complex dynamics but also. that’s some pretty bold words to say when i can see just how many people on ao3 tag fics shipping someone with the character they’ve been manipulating & purposefully endangering for four whole seasons as “fluff”
#unfortunately i am thinking about jone.lias again#adventures of angel#fans of villains interest me bc so many claim to want to explore the dynamics of characters or the inner workings of the villains mind#and then write like. jonel*as fluff. or peterel*as fluff#which are NOT the same in terms of weirdness but at the same time im like#i thought you liked villains!!! if theyre not going to kill someone why are you even HERE

Battle between Ligurienne and HM- sloop Peterel, 21 mars MDCCC / 30 Ventôse VIII (21 March 1800) by Antoine Roux (c) Voiliers de l'Époque romantique
In March 1800, Peterel a 16- gun sloop was sailing near Marseille with the frigate HMS Mermaid, 32-gun. On 21 March, Peterel spotted a large convoy with three escorts: the brig-sloop French brig Ligurienne, armed with fourteen brass 6-pounder guns and two brass 36-pounder howitzers, the corvette Cerf, of fourteen 6-pounder guns, and the xebec Lejoille, of six 6-pounder guns. Peterel captured a bark of 350 tons and a bombarde (ketch) of 150 tons, both carrying wheat and which their crews had abandoned, and sent them off with prize crews; later that afternoon the escorts caught up to Peterel and attacked. Mermaid was in sight but a great distance to leeward and so unable to assist. Single-handedly, Peterel drove Cerf and Lejoille on shore, and after a 90-minute battle captured Ligurienne, which lost the French commander (lieutenant de vaisseaux Citoyen Francis Auguste Pelabon), and one sailor killed and two sailors wounded out of her crew of 104 men; there were no British casualties. Cerf was a total loss but the French were able to salvage Lejoille. The whole action took place under the guns of two shore batteries and so close to shore that Peterel grounded for a few minutes. Austen recommended, without success, that the Navy purchase Ligurienne, which was less than two years old. In 1847 the Admiralty authorised the issue of the Naval General Service medal with clasp “Peterel 21 March 1800” to all surviving claimants from the action.

HMS Speedy - launched in 1782, this tiny 14-gun sloop lived a life of epic proportions, embarking on a legendary path of destruction, capturing, sinking or driving into shore no less than sixty ships, sometimes several times the size and power of her own and often singlehandedly, becoming the pint sized scourge of the Mediterranean. On her decks saw the beginnings of some of the greatest admirals honoured by multiple nations.
During the French Revolutionary Wars, she was transfered to the Mediterranean where she spent her career under a number of remarkable commanders that earned her fame.
Her first commander in the Mediterranean was Charles Cunningham. Speedy assisted in the capture of the French 36-gun frigate Modeste and two armed tartanes on 5 October 1793 in the raid on Genoa. HMS Speedy together with the 74-gun HMS Captain captured another frigate the 40-gun Imperieuse.
Cunningham was replaced by George Cockburn in command of HMS Speedy. Speedy joined a squadron blockading Genoa where she she kept vigilant even when the rest of the fleet was driven away by a storm while she single-handedly captured several vessels.
Commander George Eyre took over command on February 1794. She supported the siege and capture of Bastia. She was captured and spent only a brief time sailing under the French flag after she ran into a French fleet under Rear-Admiral Pierre Martin.
In the following year, Speedy under the command of Thomas Elphinstone joined a squadron consisting of the 64-gun ships HMS Agamemnon and HMS Diadem, the 32-gun frigates HMS Meleager and HMS Blanche and the ship-sloop HMS Peterel. She participated in capturing several ships.
Elphinstone was succeeded by Commander Hugh Downman in August 1797. During his time, Speedy captured five privateers, Domine Lucas on 1 August, Palma on 13 September, Pilgrim (Peregrino) on December, Virgen de los Remedios (alias Olivia) on 1 January 1798; and, San Jose (San José; alias Garalin) on 15 March. On 3 February 1798, Speedy with a newly captured Spanish prize encountered the 18-gun privateer Papillon. Speedy and her prize managed to drive off Papillon.
Downman was replaced on January of the following year by Commander Jahleel Brenton. On 9 August 1799, Speedy together with a British privateer Defender captured three small Spanish ships. On 3 October, speedy successfully drove off ten small gunboats that were attempting to attack a British Convoy, and foiled another attempt of twelve ships three days later.
On March 1800 Commander Lord Thomas Cochrane, 10th earl of Dundonald, took over command of Speedy. Thomas Cochrane was a legendary sailor himself. At first Cochrane was unimpressed with Speedy. But he would embark on a path of destruction while commanding the tiny sloop. On 11 May, Speedy captured the French privateer Intrépide off the coast Cagliari. She captured another seven or eight vessels that June and July, including the 10-gun privateer Asuncion off Bastia on 25 June and the privateer Constitution off Caprea on 19 July. On 22 January 1801, Speedy was sailing along a convoy of Danish ship while under a Danish flag pretending to escort them. When a 10-gun French ship and 8-gun Spanish brig approached, Speedy hoisted British colours and attacked, capturing both of them. On 24 February, Speedy captured the French brig Caroline. On 6 May 1801, Speedy boarded and captured the Spanish 32-gun xebec Gamo that had a crew four times that of Speedy. In 1847 the Admiralty awarded the Naval General Service Medal with clasp "Speedy 6 May 1801" to all surviving claimants from the action. On June 1801, Speedy joined the 16-gun HMS Kangaroo in attacking a Spanish convoy of twelve merchant ships and five armed ships. The two ships sank or drove ashore all of the Spanish ships with the exception of three brigs which they captured. By July of 1801, Speedy had captured or sunk fifty-three enemy ships under Lord Cochrane alone, becoming the scourge of the Mediterranean.
On 3 July, a formidable French squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Charles-Alexandre Léon Durand Linois sighted and chased Speedy. Despite efforts to lighten the ship, the French caught up and after narrowly avoiding the broadside fire of Desaix, Cochrane struck his colours. In the end, it took three French ships of the line with 70 guns each to stop the tiny sloop's rampage. Cochrane was taken aboard one of the ships the Desaix whose captain, Christy-Pallière, refused to accept Cochrane's sword out of respect.

British last stand in Shanghai 1941. The Imperial Japanese move in on Shanghai, increasing land and naval presence in the area. Deeming it ‘logistically indefensible’ The Royal Shanghai armed forces were told to evacuate, resulting in local US forces to follow suit. All Royal Naval vessels had also deserted the area for more strategically imperative targets. All apart from the old river gun boat HMS Peterel and her crew, captained by Lieutenant Polkinghorn, RNR. When the Japanese arrived, they rapidly took the surrender of the USS Wake, along with all other ships without a shot being fired and moved on to the British vessel, expecting a similar outcome. However, filled with the historical Imperial pride of the Royal Navy and determined to prevent the Japanese from taking any codes or other valuable intelligence from the HMS Peterel, when the Japanese boarded his ship and requested unconditional surrender, Lieutenant Polkinghorn showed his height to the Japanese, standing upright with his chest and chin out. Under gritted teeth within whispering distance of the enemy, Polkinghorn exclaimed “Get off my bloody ship!”. The Japanese, grey faced and shocked, disembarked and fired upon the vessel. Despite a valiant last stand against the overwhelming enemy forces, HMS Peterel was sunk without revealing her secrets to the Japanese. Lieutenant Polkinghorn’s noble and selfless actions of defiance are a testament to the fanatical patriotism of British servicemen throughout His Majesties Empire.

Vital Signs
Flynn has mostly put the whole country club issue from his mind. It was awkward and unfortunate and Yuri will never speak of it again if he knows what is good for him.
He’s more focused on the clinic records that were hopefully delivered to the office that morning when Estelle calls up the stairs, “Honey?”
He finishes his tie with the final loop, grabs his jacket, and goes downstairs.
“Yeah?”
“What is this?”
Estelle is folding the laundry. She has his jacket from the other day in her lap, and a familiar-looking business card in her hand.
Flynn feels his stomach drop.
“I was going to talk to you about that,” he says. “That… was part of an undercover job I was working. And part of the cover was that I had to talk to another woman.”
He watches Estelle carefully for her reaction. He knows that he would never do anything to hurt Estelle. He thinks Estelle knows that. He hopes so.
“You must've been quite the conversationalist,” Estelle says quietly, flipping the card over to see Melissa’s hand written cell number.
“I had to flirt with her so Neal could get closer to the target.”
“Isn’t it usually the other way around?”
Flynn flushes a little bit. It had surprised him too. He was comfortable with his looks, but even he had to admit that Yuri Lowell was more… conventionally attractive.
“She chose me,” he says.
“You had to seduce another woman?”
Estelle covers her face with the hand holding the card. Flynn can see her shoulders shaking, can hear the hitched breath. His heart breaks. He leans down and takes her other hand.
“No. No,” he swears. “I had-- Just had drinks with her. Nothing happened, Estelle. I swear.”
Estelle continues to shake. Flynn flounders, trying to figure out what to say to reassure her. He’s never been good with these kinds of things.
Estelle’s breath hitches again. But it doesn’t sound quite like tears and when Flynn listens closer, he can hear giggling.
“Are you laughing?” he says, dumbfounded. She is, now louder than before. This is a good thing, right? “You're laughing. You're laughing.”
“You had to flirt?” Estelle manages between the laughs. “You hate flirting!”
“I know,” Flynn says. “And now I remember why.”
Other than the fact that he got to spend the rest of his life with the most amazing woman he had ever met, the best part of being married was that it meant he never had to flirt again for the rest of his life thank god.
“What did you say to her?” Estelle managed to get out.
“I said that she looked thirsty.” Estelle just laughed harder. “It worked!”
“Oh, please tell me there's surveillance video of this,” Estelle said. She was trying to calm herself down and failing. “I need to see this.”
Fortunately for Flynn’s remaining dignity, rapidly vanishing in the face of his wife’s complete amusement, the phone rang, giving him an out.
“Hello?” he said.
“It's me.” Oh crap. The only thing worse than Estelle’s amusement would be Yuri’s teasing. “Wondering if you looked into that clinic yet.”
“I had the bureau put in a request for their financial records. Why?” Flynn said loudly to try and cover the sound of Estelle’s laughter.
“Why is Estelle laughing?” Yuri says on the other end of the line. He sounds a bit concerned.
“No idea,” Flynn says. Then he’s out the door and as Estelle’s laughter fades, and Flynn swears, deep in his soul, that he will do whatever it takes to keep Yuri from finding out about this.
Short of murder, of course.
#Tales of Vesperia#Flystelle#Flynn Scifo#estellise sidos heurassein#Yuri Lowell#AND THE WHITE COLLAR AU JUST KEEPS COMING#I love PeterEl SO MUCH YOU DON'T EVEN#Don't forget that prompts are open so IF YOU WANT THIS TO STOP#YOU SHOULD LEAVE ME SOME PROMPTS

New Post has been published on Austen Marriage
New Post has been published on http://austenmarriage.com/1407-2/
Networking in the Age of Sail
Unlike Army officers, members of the Royal Navy could obtain commissions without purchasing them. This difference created opportunities for the penurious sons of gentlemen like Jane Austen’s father, the Rev. George Austen. Two of his younger sons, Frank and Charles, joined the Navy when they were barely into their teens.
Getting ahead in the Navy was another matter. That required connections and an occasional greased palm. The Austens did not hesitate to use both to advance the cause of their sons.
To help Frank, Mr. Austen in 1794 wrote Warren Hastings, the former governor-general of India and godfather of Jane’s cousin Eliza. Hastings wrote to First Naval Lord Affleck. On Jane’s mother’s side, the Leighs, were two captains, Stanhope and Chamberlayne, who became rear admirals after Frank and Charles entered service. Jane’s cousin, Jane Cooper, married Captain (later Admiral) Thomas Williams, who became Charles’ patron.
Of all the relatives, the strongest connection came through Anne Mathew, the first wife of Jane’s oldest brother, James. Married to James only a few years before her death, she was the daughter of General Edward Mathew. Mathew had two nieces; each sister married a Gambier brother: James, future Lord of the Admiralty; and Samuel, Secretary of the Navy Board.
James Gambier was instrumental in Frank’s early promotions and Frank served him in several captaincies. Gambier was also called upon to help Charles. In a letter of 18-19 December 1798, Jane jokes to Cassandra that Gambier “will be delighted” to have another Austen to help. Jane adds that Charles “would be very right” to address Sir Thomas Williams as well.
A week later, Jane updates Cass to say that Gambier has replied that Charles will be transferred to a larger ship “when a proper opportunity offers & it is judged that he has taken his Turn in a small Ship.” As for Frank, Gambier says: “I can give you the assurance that his promotion is likely to take place very soon.” Later in the letter, Jane adds that Charles has told her that he has directly written Lord Spencer of the Admiralty. Spencer has now received so many applications from the Austens, Jane says, that he “might order some of our heads to be cut off.”
Just two days later, she exults at the success of the letter-writing campaign: “Frank is made.—He was yesterday raised to the Rank of Commander, & appointed to the Petterel sloop … and Lieut. Charles John Austen is removed to the Tamer frigate.” (Jane misspells the name of the Peterel and Tamur. But the navy itself spelled the Peterel four different ways until settling on Peterel. In a later letter, when Charles is reassigned to his earlier ship Endymion under Captain Thomas, she corrects that name to Tamar.)
Through the Gambiers, the family also became connected with Lord Moira, a senior military figure and an influential companion to the future prince regent and king, George IV. Brian Southam, in his 2005 book Jane Austen and the Navy, documents the ways that Moira helped Frank.
The conventional belief is that Charles moved up largely because of Sir Thomas Williams. Stuart Bennett, however, in a 2013 Persuasions article, reveals correspondence at the Huntington Library that also ties Moira to Charles’ advancement. The letters illuminate a quid pro quo in which Henry’s bank lent Moira money in exchange for letters of support to naval authorities. In 1803-4, Moira received loans totaling at least £2,000 from Henry, with Moira’s patronage leading to Charles receiving his first command, the sloop Indian in Bermuda. Another exchange of loans for letters in 1805 attempted to obtain Frank a frigate—the most potentially lucrative ship for winning prize money—but that effort failed.
Eventually, Lord Moira and James Gambier both fell out of favor politically and ceased to be able to provide much help. Also, Moira’s inability to repay the original loans left Henry unable to lend more. His financial negligence was a major cause of Henry’s bankruptcy in 1816, which devastated the finances of the entire Austen family. Conservative Jane lost only £13; most of the £640 she had earned as a writer was invested—where else?—in safe Navy stock paying 5 percent annually.
Most of Frank’s commands involved old, slow vessels, and he didn’t make much prize money from capturing enemy ships. Typical of these was the Canopus (above, by headline), which was so slow it was the last to engage the enemy in a major battle at San Domingo in the West Indies. But once there, Frank’s broadsides dismasted two enemy ships.
Only once did Frank receive a modern ship, the Caledonia, the newest and finest in the fleet, a first-rater with 120 guns. This was the flagship of his patron, now Admiral Lord James Gambier. (On a flagship, the admiral would command the fleet while the flag captain would command the ship.) When Gambier was replaced a few months later, the new admiral took the captaincy from Frank and gave it to his son-in-law.
Jane’s letter of 18-20 April 1811 shows her alarm at his loss: “Saturday.—Frank is superseded in the Caledonia. Sir Edwd Pellew succeeds Lord Gambier … & some Captain of his, succeeds Frank; … what will he do? & where will he live?” Frank ended up in command of the seventy-four-gun Elephant, a solid warship but no prize-taker. It was his last sea command for nearly three decades.
Next month: What happens when the sailor brothers take command.
—
The Marriage of Miss Jane Austen, which traces love from a charming courtship through the richness and complexity of marriage and concludes with a test of the heroine’s courage and moral convictions, is now complete and available from Amazon and Jane Austen Books.
