    Summary

    “Take my hand,” the strange man offers, unfazed. His voice still soft, his movements careful. His face is friendly, concerned, big eyes focused on Dan, eyebrows knit in worry. “Take my hand and I’ll pull you back in.”

    “No!” It’s almost a sob. His voice comes out broken, shoulders shaking in the cold wind. He left his jacket inside when he left in a hurry, left to escape all the people talking and laughing and living.

    “Stay where you are. Or I’ll let go.” He takes another look at the waves below, and even to his own ears it’s a hollow threat. His hands are curled around the iron in pure fear.

    “No, you won’t,” the stranger says, still with this oh-so-soft voice.

    “What do you mean I won’t?” Dan asks, affronted. “Don’t presume to know anything about me!”

    The stranger shrugs. A small smile around the corner of his mouth. “You would have done it already, if you really wanted to.” His warm smile never wavers. “Now, take my hand.”

    ------------
    Where Dan is forced to take a journey on the Titanic in the year of 1912 and a handsome stranger saves him from giving up. Over and over again. (Content note for mentioned/ almost suicide and internalised and external homophobia because this is 1912)
