Summary
“What, precisely, are we tasked with doing, again?” Fitzjames asks, looking irritated. Jopson and Blanky look at each other, sharing a moment of inscrutable telepathy. Jopson begins more cautiously, with less professional aloofness than a moment ago. “What do you gentlemen know about extraterrestrial life?”
In 1983, a private investor by the name of Cornelius Hickey awakens something long frozen, deep in the Arctic ice. Rival spies, stubborn and suspicious of one another, and in denial about the magnetism between them, Francis and James are assigned the task of investigating.Series

Summary
The sun crested the distant cliffs across the vast expanse of sand and dirt in front of them, and in a blink the purple of the Barsoomian night was chased away by brilliant daggers of sunlight. Dejah whooped and shouted “It is three days’ ride— follow me!”
John Carter does not know much about Barsoom, Tharks, Helium or the struggles of red men. During the three days' ride to the river Iss, and then Helium, he learns.

Summary
Hal’s lithe body is taut as a longbow, drawn almost to its breaking point. But here--inland, far from the sea, John knows he must now be stone to Hal’s sinew, the iron of burning muscles as they strain for one more inch of draw, the better to send an arrow thudding with certainty through French armor to puncture French hearts.
Hal and John, on the eve of Agincourt.

Summary
When the Californian morning comes - pale, watery, gentle in its way - and with it, the new cacophony of a world utterly unconcerned with the struggles of angels or demons, John floats for a moment in ignorant lassitude. He can feel, behind closed eyes, the memories of the last few days snapping like dogs at the edge of his consciousness, and makes the decision to roll over and bury his face in a misshapen pillow instead. Maybe if I lie here long enough, he thinks, I can suffocate myself and sneak into heaven instead of getting up today.
After saving the world, John wakes up the next day.

The Arctic Affair by SaintTethys (noirCellist)
Fandom: The Terror (TV 2018), The Thing (1982)
10 Aug 2021
Summary
It had begun like any assignment - sure, Francis had a partner that he hated, and they were going to the cold northern reaches of Nunavut, and maybe tracking down a heretofore-unknown life form - but that was all in a day's work for the two best spies this side of the northern hemisphere...even if that day would last for six months out of the year. But underneath these cool spies' icy exteriors, more than one thing is lurking in the depths, waiting to strike...

Summary
Ahab and Starbuck, on the homeward voyage after Ahab's first encounter with Moby Dick.
Perhaps God grants respite even off the howling, pagan Patagonian coast, or perhaps it was Starbuck’s hand, which yet lay on Ahab’s leg, the two opposing forces – the frozen fingers and the fevered thigh – having gone some way toward reaching a balance.
