    Summary

    Any sailor worth his salt could bear the pain of separation, and Francis supposed he was no longer a sailor, which explained why his heart ached so much.

    (James Fitzjames goes to sea, and comes back home again.)

    Summary

    He’s worn hundreds of suits in his lifetime, and he expects this one to feel like any other, but even as he’s buttoning up his shirt of a fine Irish linen, it feels special, strangely, makes him feel like he's part of something bigger than himself.


    A wedding, at last.

    Summary

    All oddities were temporary anyway! They were going home, Francis would be well again, the Enterprise would soon return to England, and there would be a farce of a court martial before a knighthood for Francis and an easy retirement.

     

    And as for Fitzjames… Well, Fitzjames would be reassigned, of course, continue his meteoric rise within the ranks of the Navy. He would send a suitable number of letters to Francis from somewhere exotic and warm before the draw of newer company turned his thoughts away from the Arctic, and those who came with it.

    After rescuing the remnants of the Franklin Expedition from the ice, Ross would prefer everything go back to normal.

    It doesn't.

    Summary

    James could never get warm. He wore as many layers as the fashion of the season allotted; he would make his first acquaintance with the fireplace on every social visit; he would ring for tea while others were toasting with rum and gin, and have furs thrown over the feather duvet when he went to bed.

    In bed, Francis said, holding his shivering body, “I believe it’s time we visited Portugal.”
