    Summary

    I’ll not have a picture, he thinks, gazing grimly at James’ drawn, damaged face. I’ll not have a miniature to tuck inside my breast pocket, or a sketch made on a winter’s evening by the fireside. It will be my own burden to remember him, until such a time as this cursed land takes me, too.

    Twenty five men return to England. For Francis, this means making a poor job of keeping James from scuttling his career, and working out what a sea captain might do with himself in the absence of a ship.

    Summary

    All oddities were temporary anyway! They were going home, Francis would be well again, the Enterprise would soon return to England, and there would be a farce of a court martial before a knighthood for Francis and an easy retirement.

     

    And as for Fitzjames… Well, Fitzjames would be reassigned, of course, continue his meteoric rise within the ranks of the Navy. He would send a suitable number of letters to Francis from somewhere exotic and warm before the draw of newer company turned his thoughts away from the Arctic, and those who came with it.

    After rescuing the remnants of the Franklin Expedition from the ice, Ross would prefer everything go back to normal.

    It doesn't.

    Summary

    “The loss of a ship is a small price to pay for the completion of the Passage, wouldn’t you say?” James said, employing his best smile. Make it look easy, make it look painless, and people would gladly follow you—he’d learnt that early on.

    “Well I’d not thought to see it,” said Sir John, looking between the two of them. “If both of you are of one mind, there must be some truth to it. Very well.” He clapped his hands together. “Francis, James, the two of you can figure out the logistics. I’ll inform the men after David Young’s funeral service. Begin preparations immediately.”

    Summary

    James got to his feet carefully. He flexed his fingers and his toes. Pulled on his boots, which were conveniently lying there. He was dead, but he felt much better. “And you are…”

    I AM DEATH, said Death.

    “I see.” Should have been obvious.

    Summary

    "James had died knowing that his heart, the core of his very being that no biographer would ever know, would carry on in Francis Crozier. Would be protected, cherished even, because Francis deemed him worthy of such care.

    Oh, how he had loved Francis then. He had been at peace with this being his last living thought.

    It’s his only thought now. In this undead life, his love has nowhere to go."

    Summary

    Summary

    Francis has always been a grasping thing. Covetous to the last, drenched in vice, and gripping tight to whoever- whatever- is closest, be it James Ross or Sophia or the the neck of a bottle. Or all three.

    Now, there is James Fitzjames.

    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.

    This man - this irritable drunk who apparently saw nothing of worth whatsoever in James - was a sad, far cry from the man he had imagined, when he’d first thrilled at reading the name Crozier in dispatches.

    Summary

    “Thank you for last night,” James says, because it’s easier to say that than it is to say what he’s actually thinking.

    “I wasn’t…you’re welcome,” Francis says, his gaze going to the sideboard a moment before re-focusing on James. “Did it help?”

    “Yes,” James lies. The second batch of nightmares, after all, hadn’t been Francis’ fault any more than the first ones had been.

    Summary

    “There’s nothing like a Cooper Howard movie. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve seen his movies, they never get old or boring. Of course, it helps that he was attractive- I had the biggest crush on him for years.”

    That caught his attention.

    “That right?” he asked slowly.

    A simple comment leads to an unexpected turn for Cooper and Lucy that neither of them see coming.
