Summary
The moon shone through the tree canopy, a break in the clouds as rain continued to pour.
A footprint, rust-red against the earth, gleamed.
“Stede, mate,” he said, as he looked up and saw the line of prints disappearing into the trees. “What the absolute fuck.”
(A rainstorm stops Ed from leaving.)

Summary
Lucius stepped in from the main deck, one hand protecting his candle from the elements. “Well, er, it’s just that there’s a bit of a problem below decks.”
Stede rubbed at one eye with her fist, thoughts still treacle-slow. “You couldn’t sort it out yourself? Lucius, this ship encourages problem solving and team building through adversity.”

Summary
The newly minted Captain Bonnet froze. “My name? Why, it’s. Er.” She glanced around the room, considering possibilities.
There! A framed portrait of - fuck. A horse. Why the fuck was there a portrait of a horse in here?
“Er, it’s. It’s Stede! Stede Bonnet, pirate captain.” She set her hands on her hips, shifting awkwardly as her sword settled against her side.

Summary
“Holmes,” I enquired, levelly. He had recovered with admirable speed, giving me a look of derision at my suppressed smile. “I do suppose you had lunch, didn’t you?”
“Lunch,” said Holmes, equally level. “Is irrelevant to the matter at hand.”

“You always were God’s own fool, Doctor,” she said, quietly. “Why would you think we’d be anything but delighted to see you again?”

Summary
Cyro was also not programmed to experience “worry”. His circuits did not understand this and persisted in whirring, a clear attempt to emulate the sensation.
Ellison’s eyes rolled in their sockets. “I wasn’t going to let you get hurt, Cy. You’re… important. To me.” {AAAAAARGH. brb drawing this scene - br}

Summary
“I’ve just remembered,” she said, as Mike gingerly rested a tea towel full of ice on her wrist for the third time — it kept slipping off. “The uncle was hanging about. Following the nieces around looking like a wet weekend, the poor guy.”
Mike hummed thoughtfully. “Didn’t know ghosts could do that. Our lot are stuck in the grounds of the house, right?”
“Yeah,” she said, chewing on her lip. “I guess it’s not exactly a science, is it? I mean, a lot of the ghosts I see out and about are sort of… uncommunicative. Maybe there’s lots of different types of them.”
“Like Pokemon,” said Mike.

They’re just over a month out from a Norwegian invasion the first time Mac kisses Fuchs on the mouth. He tells himself it was a spur of the moment thing, but it really wasn’t.

Summary
The training room drew her in before the kitchen did, ultimately. There was something irresistible about the prospect of watching Harrow fall on her stupid little face. Maybe she’d finally have to wipe off all the skeleton makeup and actually accept her position in life.
She found her usual vantage point and leaned sexily against the wall, hip cocked, as Ianthe swept at Augustine with her rapier and Harrow dragged her greatsword in behind her, blade scraping at the floor. The sound put Mercy’s teeth on edge.

Summary
“I don’t know what you are or what the fuck you’re doing in my classroom,” she growled. “But if you don’t close that fucking door and leave this place this instant you’ll regret it.”
“Oh, Jon,” said the monster in the doorway. It curled a set of corkscrew claws in her direction, beckoning. “I like this one! Reminds me a little of your dear little friend. The one Michael liked so very much.”

Summary
“It’s just that you have a rather high concentration of chroniton particles in your system,” said the assistant, with a nasty smile. Victoria understood instantly that this was not, in fact, an employee of Mainwarings. The old impulse to scream surged inside her chest. Her hands began to shake, as they often did in moments of intense stress.
“I’m afraid you’re mistaken,” she said, letting the elocution lessons she’d so hated exert their terrible influence on her diction. “And if you continue to block my way, I shall.... I shall scream and scream ‘til I’m sick.”

Summary
“Hello, Phil,” he said, leaning one elbow on the polished wood. His clothes were about usual, but she had a feeling the cravat was new. It suited him, although she wouldn’t tell him that until she got the chance to pull it off of his neck.
“Darling,” said Phyllis. “Come here often, do you?”
“From time to time,” said Gregory. “The barmaid’s very fetching, so they say.”

Summary
Paul grinned at her, annoyingly handsome as usual. “What, Marwani, are you only gonna talk to us if it’s about you?”
“Well, I am pretty cool,” she offered, letting one side of her mouth curl into a smile. “What’s up?”

Penny raised her eyebrows. “You do need to apologise, that’s true. But Jon, you really haven’t fucked up as much as you seem to think.” She withdrew her hand. Jon couldn’t help but sigh with relief. “See, I’m going to let you in on a secret about teaching. Everyone fucks it up.”
Jon huffed, reluctantly amused. His head continued to pound. “I think that’s just a secret about life,” he offered. “I’ve got a lot of experience with it.”

Summary
“Nice outfit,” Tommy offered. Carlos, defeated again at trying to make Grace let him help with the dishes, dragged a chair over for her before taking his own seat next to TK.
Mateo, halfway through his second burger, grinned in confusion for a second. “Uh, thanks, Cap, but —”
Tommy waved a hand. “Your look is timeless kid, but I meant Marwani over here. I could never pull off that much sparkle without it looking tacky.”

Summary
He rolled onto his side and curled his knees a little, trying to get comfortable. The camping bed came without a blanket, so he was stuck either leeching Spock’s body heat through the air between them or being cold in a very manly and stoic fashion.
Frankly, he’d rather get some cuddling in.
Spock made a noise of inarticulate frustration a few minutes later, just as Jim felt himself starting to drift off. His shivers had tapered off now Spock’s space-heater body was nearby, but the situation was vastly improved when Spock edged close enough to rest an arm across Jim’s chest.

Summary
Harriet, who had been writing her latest novel for long enough that it felt rather more like a child than a book, had sworn off reading for the weekend and was working on a scarf for the Dowager Duchess. It was slow-going, never having been much for knitting or crochet, but the motions were soothing and it was a more socially acceptable hobby for a train journey than discussing crime, no matter how happy one’s husband was to expound upon the subject.

Summary
“Oh,” he said. “I’m alright, Barbara. Don’t worry about me.”
Typical man, thought Barbara, with only a hint of frustration. “I rather think I can worry about whatever I like,” she said. “Haven’t you ever heard of female emancipation?”
