Summary
Edward finds himself longing all the same, gaze lingering on the quick pierce and dive of the needle, the coolness of the blue in Jopson’s eyes.
It is mechanical, impersonal, a most impressive automaton. Edward’s throat contracts around the flowers blooming in it, the delphiniums and cornflowers and anemones that rise their fluttering faces high and catch Edward’s air. He chokes on the sweetness of their odor.Bookmarked by attheborder

Summary
Irving is getting ahead of himself. Lovemaking comes after kissing, or at least that’s what he believes in his heart. And kissing, of course, comes after dating.
Irving lowers his cube wall again. "Did you notice if there were any vending machines in O&D?"
"No," Dylan says shortly, clacking away at his keyboard.
"No, you didn't notice? Or no, there weren't any?" Irving says.
"Jesus, Irving, I didn't notice," Dylan says. "Why?"

Summary
"Dark Fate?" says Stede, making sure to pronounce the capitals.
"Very effective for star-crossed lovers. And at a bargain price, if I do say so myself. A potent mixture of unspeakably rare ingredients, brewed under a new moon, which will drag you through the depths of your own soul in search of difficult truths, and leave the undeserving to drift forever in a dreamscape of torment and emotional agony!"
"What?" says Stede. "No! That sounds awful!"

Summary
"So, this… look you're going for," Lucius starts, testing the waters.
Blackbeard stares at him with vacant eyes. Jesus. Lucius is viscerally reminded of the man's dead-eyed look before he pushed him overboard.
"Does it feel like the right choice for you? Are we happy with it?"
"Do you have a fever?" Blackbeard asks, voice hoarse.
Lucius cocks his head and says, "Don't think so. Do I look hot?" He winks.
Blackbeard lifts his hand and presses his fingers roughly against Lucius' forehead.
"What are you—"
"No fever," Blackbeard grunts and draws back. "Good. Didn't want to cut off your fucking hand."
Lucius drawls, "I'm touched."
Or: Lucius survives. For better or for worse.

Summary
Cleave the pin (slang, 1595) To bring a man to orgasm.
It’s a sobering thought for someone facing middle age to wrestle with, this notion one might be less than appealing in bed, and while he’d always known he was no Don Juan, Stede thought himself perfectly adequate in the art of making love. But ‘perfectly adequate,’ when facing the prospect of reuniting with the man that may very well be the love of his life, feels (pathetic, mortifying, distressing) like a quandary.

You meet in the spring, in places crowded and messy. By summer your knees earn stains in the grass. By fall you press him back against a kitchen counter, and take your breath from the open window. By winter you're on Terror, and somewhere an hourglass turns.

Summary
“I wish you would stop being such a martyr,” a languid voice says quietly, drawling as well as a man can with two missing molars and a glassy, bloodshot eye, leaking all the while from open chest wounds. Francis is rather impressed with his dedication to the role, somewhere under the roil of fury and exhaustion. “You know as well as I do that you could have this bed sometimes, if it didn’t suit you to stomp about with blacked eyes and a put-upon expression.”
“And what should we do with you all the while, Commander,” he says, all on a great sigh, “wrap you in sailcloth already? Come, man, you’re either well enough to cease bleeding on my sheets or too ill to get out of them, you can’t have it both ways.”
“Francis,” Ross began, “I did not undertake to accept the position of second on Franklin’s expedition for you, as you asked.”

Summary
Edward Little and Thomas Jopson died on the shale of King William Island. So bumping into each other in a Bloomsbury lecture hall fifty years later comes as something of a surprise. From the Fabian Society to the Three Day Week, from the trenches to the Pyramids to Old Compton Street - in life after life Edward sees Thomas, and remembers. Is this a chance to put things right? Or is the punishment for his failure in the Arctic to spend eternity losing the man he loves?
