Summary
"Part of the small parlor was visible from here, and in it, James and Henry circled each other like imperious Egyptian cats. From one corner, face unseen, James was gesticulating with both hands, as if pressing a point, while Henry sat in the armchair next to the window: his arms crossed over his chest and his gaze fixed resolutely to the lawn. His jaw was set so tightly that it appeared he was trying not to weep."

Summary
Out on the shale, Francis Crozier sleeps with a failing James Fitzjames in his arms, lamenting time wasted and love unspent. Years earlier, a canoe capsizes and a newly-minted Commander of Her Majesty's Royal Navy is rescued from the freezing water. Francis has seen this before, but now he knows what happens next.
When Francis finds himself with the chance to relive some long-regretted unkindness, he grasps the opportunity to amend it. To give them a shred more of tenderness, a moment more of love.

Fabulous post rescue for Francis and James, settling into a cottage in Dover.

Summary
The delicate curve of James’s ankle may well drive him mad. Francis can feel it resting against his own, the sharp little point of his ankle bone pressing into him. He spares him a withering glance over the table. James practically glows as he chatters heedlessly on with Lady Ann. Across the table from him, Ross lifts an eyebrow.

Summary
“But you’re married now.” James shot him a look at the emphasis on the word, knew he’d caught his intention even in his inebriated state.
“That shouldn’t mean things must change between us.”
Never mind that, James was speaking nonsense.
“Is one not supposed to leave a couple to their newlywed bliss?”
Francis could almost hear James roll his eyes as he came to a halt. “You simply aren’t paying attention Frank.”- Language:

Summary
In the half-year since their return, Francis had become aloof, impassive, withdrawn. There was no logic to this strange metamorphosis. At Greenhithe, Francis had promised to look after him. Had told James: Come find me. Yet Francis had never been further out of reach.
On a cold spring day in 1849, Francis drops everything and flees London for his sister's farm in Ireland. James, hurt and hungry for answers, gives chase.

Summary
The first sign of Fitzjames imminent arrival is always a telegram: no matter how many letters he sends, he always abuses the newfangled system to send a note the moment he sets foot in London proper.
It is as much a courtesy as it is a warning: James is never calm after his commissions, eager to talk and to sulk and to speak with someone who understands. Francis wouldn’t extend his hospitality to anyone, and these days it is mainly reserved for those he managed to claw from the Arctic despite the odds.- Language:

Summary
Tom has never felt so stupid as when Lieutenant Little called for them to turn around and he’d found himself held at gunpoint by the mutineers. By Magnus.
Magnus who’d let Tom cry into his shoulder after John died. Magnus who was scared of ghosts. Magnus who was still just a little boy.
Tom had almost called out to him, almost taken a step forward. Lieutenant Little had been quicker.Tom Hartnell faces the end of the barrel, the betrayal of his captain's orders, and Death who follows him always.
