    Summary

    And so they dispersed, Fitzjames leading his men back the short distance to Erebus, while Edward, flanked by Irving and Hodgson, headed the long distance back to Terror. The walk was almost entirely silent, broken by the occasional whisper as the crew processed the news. When back aboard, he went first to the wardroom, then crossed the border into Crozier’s berth.

    He stopped before the desk, sat down with a sigh, and opened the logbook. Flipping to the first blank page, Edward dipped the pen into ink, and began to write. The harsh contrast between Crozier's script and his own stuttering, clumsy hand was painful to look at.

    June 15 1847. 69.93/-98.71. Captain Crozier abandoned post. Lt. Edward Little assumed acting command.

    In which Francis Crozier departs on the rescue sledge party before Sir John dies, and Edward Little finds himself as acting captain of H.M.S Terror.

    Summary

    It's like the worst tontine you've ever heard of, they'd said, but I doubt the fools thought they'd actually all die. Forty-seven deaths in fifteen years, and now there's only two Curnows left alive to inherit all that fortune. And only one of them can actually inherit. 

    AU where Callista is an accidental heiress and the twins Pendleton offer up their little brother to the Curnow family line.

    Summary

    Severus Snape has his emotions in check. He knows that he experiences anger and self-loathing and a bitter yearning, and that he rarely deviates from that spectrum… Until the first-year Luna Lovegood arrives to his class wearing a wreath of baby’s breath. Over the next six years, an odd friendship grows between the two, and Snape is not sure how he feels about any of it.
