Summary
What would happen if, instead of dying, the XMCU's Sean Cassidy wound up in the 616 Universe right around the time that Deadly Genesis was taking place? How would he react to meeting his 616 counterpart? And how would 616 Sean Cassidy not dying affect what happened to Gabriel Summers?

Summary
When Solomon had returned from the Arctic in 1849, he’d never imagined he would go back. Apparently, the Arctic was to be his lot in life. No one wanted to hire a disgraced marine, particularly one who had been publicly dismissed for mutinous acts, but the whaling captain who’d eventually hired him had only cared that Solomon knew how to handle himself in Arctic waters. Solomon had returned to work under that same captain year after year every whaling season since.

Summary
It was hard to believe he'd made it home to England, that he had lived to sleep in a real bed once more and be fussed over by his family.

That out of 129 men, only three had returned, Fred, Crozier and, by some miracle, Thomas Jopson as well.
