    Summary

    When word from the Franklin Expedition is not heard by January of 1848, Sir John Barrow approves a single expedition, consisting of sixty-four men, on a single ship; HMS Edinburgh. The same class as HMS Terror; she is heavy, slow, and terrible for the Arctic.

    Commanded by a well-meaning incompetent who has never held an active command, chosen purely because of convenience, the expedition meets some of the same horrors that met Franklin and seems destined to suffer the same fate as the expedition they were meant to rescue. Can the crew find Franklin and save themselves at the same time?

    Mostly original characters. I will not be including Tuunbaq and most of the details of The Terror will be omitted for the more likely real version of what happened to the men. Regardless, It will be similar to The Terror in atmosphere (hopefully) and include the personality of the characters I do include, so I hope you enjoy.

    Summary

    Separately, John and Harry reflect on the life they've built together in the years since their return from the Arctic.

    (You know that Dave K quote that's like, "When he wakes up, he's going to be with Harry Peglar"? That's this, but the happy ending version.)

    Summary

    Francis and Henry bonded over this shared plight, as did Harry, yet none of them were necessarily happy to be communing at the table of trauma together. None of them wished what had happened upon the other, of course, but they all knew that it was better to sit at that table among friends than alone. It was a blessing that they still had each other. Especially now, with a monster on the loose, hunting those of their ilk down, one by one.

    Summary

    I believe I have just the thing to get everyone’s spirit up! A competition of sorts.”

    Says the commander, vain and satisfied as a cat, while observing the room through half narrowed eyes. He says this as though he has just been granted this idea by some unseen fairy meant solely to grant him wonderful ideas, though he had the thought a week ago and has been carefully turning it over in his mind like a worry stone since.

    “What did you have in mind?”

    They have the world’s first beauty pageant on the ice, because everyone thought it would be fun.
    Oh dear reader. It was not.

    Summary

    Back home in London, James and Francis live together in chaste intimacy. Wanting more than brotherhood, James takes Francis to visit one of his old haunts.

     

    James kissed Francis in the mornings, suggested they take a stroll. Kissed him delicately, entirely chastely, on the tip of the nose. This was the only intimacy allowed: but James was subtle, with intimacies: he knew how to solidify them, stretch them out, make them last.

    Summary

    Lit by the flattering glow of the fire, James is dressed for a night in. Over a collared nightshirt he wears a dressing gown, rather more like a tea gown considering it comes down to cover his ankles, and velvet slippers with embroidered toes that stick out just beneath the hem. Receiving no response from Francis, he sets the letter on the mantle and turns to face him, one hand on his slim hip. He rests his fingers in the tie around his waist—Christ, such a flimsy thing, would be so easy to pull loose—and gives Francis an appraising look.

    “I don’t think I’ve ever seen you speechless, Francis. What’s come over you?”

    Francis blinks. His hand flickers up to rub his beard again, but he manages to stop himself. “You.”

    “Oh.” James’ eyebrows arch upwards. “Do tell.”

    Or: Francis is inspired by James' casual attire and defiles the man against their fireplace. (Excessively adoring post-rescue smut with exactly zero plot.)
