Fics like A Welcome Distraction

To distract himself he stepped over the rail into the other quarter gallery, and peeped through the stern window into Bush’s cabin. Bush was asleep on his cot, flat on his back with his mouth open, his hands spread wide at his side and his wooden leg hanging in a becket against the bulkhead. Hornblower felt a twinge of annoyance that his captain should be sleeping so peacefully while he himself had so many cares on his shoulders. For two pins he would send a message in to Bush and wreck his nap for him. (C.S. Forester, Commodore Hornblower) Despite his wrecked nap, Bush sees right through Hornblower—and in turn invites him to look his fill.
