    Summary

    ‘I don’t see it like that, and, please, don’t argue for I was there,’ Francis reached tentatively for James’s hand. James was sure it was clammy and unpleasant to touch, cold to boot as the evening chill began to settle, but Francis covered it nevertheless and stroked the expense of his palm with his thumb. One, two, three times. It reminded James of dying. Francis proceeded with his speech. ‘I didn’t see you as a burden then, in the sick bay, and my feelings did not change when you were allowed to move to Ross’s cabin. Neither did they in London. I wanted the best for you, hence my assumption the best lay in your family nest. Now I know I was grievously mistaken, you saw to it, my knowing of it, and I ask you here. Would you stay with me?’

    ‘For today?’

    ‘For as long as you like. I would take you indefinitely if I knew it was your heart’s desire.’

    Summary

    After returning from the Arctic Francis is determined to confess his feelings to James. He just needs to wait for James to return from seeing family and taking some rest for his health. He never gets the opportunity, instead hearing that Captain Fitzjames has passed away.

    An invitation to James' childhood home leads him out of his grief and to meet James' family. And a strange woman who looks and acts much too familiar for Francis to ignore.

    Summary

    Однажды Том Блэнки, давно уволившийся из Университета, заглянул в расписание нового семестра и увидел там странный предмет - "Историю квирности". И немедленно подбил своего лучшего друга Фрэнсиса сходить и послушать, что за фигню вешают нынче на уши студентам-историкам. Только вот беда, лекции читает Джеймс Фитцджеймс, молодой болтливый аспирант и открытый гей, которого Фрэнсис не переносит на дух... Нет, совсем не потому что Фитцджеймс гей.
    Как вы вообще могли такое подумать?!

    Summary

    “I would hazard a guess that you are in fact quite good with them–with children,” James says.

    Francis makes a harumphing noise but does not disagree, which is as close to a confirmation as James is likely to get.

    Something feels as if it clicks, subtly, into place inside him. A delicious, tingly warmth spreads throughout his body.

    He emphatically declines to investigate the feeling.

    This is a story about families—the ones we find, the ones we choose, and the ones we make.

    It is also a story of James Fitzjames absolutely gagging to get knocked up by one Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier

    Summary

    "James looks forward to Francis’ letters with palpable eagerness. It doesn’t matter that he receives one every day, twice if some unfortunate event prevented him from writing the day before. They're one of the few joys left in his life."
    ___

    Based on the prompt: "A fix-it set post-rescue where they're both trying to deal with being back in England."

    Summary

    His inner compass had pointed toward James as its true north since they’d met in China in ’42. It was that selfsame impulse to be near him that had Henry accepting a post as James’ second aboard the Clio. The same impulse that had him following James to the arctic—literally to the ends of the earth. Following him to Brighton hardly signified in the grand scheme of distances he’d traveled for the man.

    After his affair with Sophia Cracroft sours and Lady Franklin refuses his offer to captain the recovery expedition of Sir John's remains, Henry impulsively travels to Brighton to see James, whom he hasn't spoken to in months.

    Summary

    “You know,” Francis said, later that evening. “I told William that we were living as husband and wife, but we haven’t really had anything like a wedding, have we. I only started calling you Lady Crozier when we went to Portugal, because anything else would have been suspect.”

    James looked up from the sketch he’d been doing, Francis in profile. “Francis… we can’t. There isn’t a church in the world that would marry us.”

    Summary

    “If you want to take her in I can put out word for a wet nurse.”

    There’s an unspoken statement of, ‘This child will be sent to orphanage or foundling’s home if you don’t,’ behind William’s words. With its mother dead and the father unknown, the baby’s situation was even more precarious that James’ had been. Despite being new returned from the Arctic and still very much suffering the after effects, there was simply no way his answer could be anything other than yes.
