She reaches for his flask but he holds it tight to his heart. He grabs her questing hands in one of his own.
“Do you remember what I told you before I left?”
“To be a good girl, and you would come back and marry me.”
He tightens his hand. It almost hurts.

Summary
“You’ve never seen me box,” Tozer finally says.
Hickey looks baffled at that. For a second that’s satisfying enough to make Tozer feel like less of an idiot for saying it, but not entirely. “I have,” he says finally—a reflexive lie, which makes Tozer exhale, exasperated.
“You haven’t. I’d have seen you.”
After everything, Hickey and Tozer make it to Boston. Tozer sets his sights on the ring; Hickey has his eyes on the horizon.

the first american train robbery by MOUSE9000 for alistairlovebot
Fandoms: The Terror (TV 2018)

Summary
It’s a miracle that they’d all escaped with their lives, after that last bank robbery had gone south. It’s a miracle that they’d escaped with their identities unrevealed. It’s a miracle that Hickey still has Tozer trailing after him, after he’d nearly gotten him killed, and himself, too, on at least thirty separate occasions, but for all his virtues, Tozer’s never been a quick study.
Hickey and Tozer go west.

De Gerlache closed his eyes—as if in bliss, but how could that be? When Lecointe was speaking so foully to him? Had some sickness overtaken him, a sudden apoplexy?

Summary
“I beg your pardon, Ship,” he said. “I ought to have introduced myself first. My name is Goodsir—Harry Goodsir. I am honoured to make your acquaintance.”
Silence, but for the clinking of gears and the turning of spindles. Then a small voice, tinny but clear, emerged at last from the speaking-trumpet housed at the far end of the console.
Good afternoon, Harry Goodsir, said Erebus. I assure you, the honour is entirely mine.

Summary
“Why don’t you lie down with me, Francis?”
Francis’s eyes snap to James again. James’s eyes are closed, still, one hand lazily indicating the pillows next to him in an invitation that borders on—that borders on—
“I won’t bite. Don’t have the teeth for it anymore, I’m afraid.” James smiles a half-smile, satisfied but close-mouthed, and Francis feels guilt like a hot spike driven into his guts. He laughs, weakly. James opens his eyes at the sound.
Francis seeks refuge in the pipe.Francis. James. An opium den. They try to make the pieces fit.
