Summary
Through the window Francis watched the shops and office buildings crawl by. A streetlight was out at one corner, and in the new dark the window showed his reflection. He wondered if that was how James saw him. A watery shadow, a face invisible in the light.
Francis takes a little blue pill on the way home from dinner. James doesn't know. Then they get stuck in traffic.

Unless I see, he thought. Unless I put my finger. Unless I put my hand.
Francis performs a resurrection. Once, then nightly.

Summary
Shortly after the termination of the court-martial, held at the Admiralty Hall of London, on Captain Francis R.M. Crozier, FRS FRAS, on the subject of his conduct, as captain of the failed expedition to the High North, two pamphlets, purporting to contain the proceedings in full made their appearance; but as one of them was confessedly defective, having been authored by an observer outside the court, and the other was evidently garbled, no notice was taken of either. Such omissions therefore called for those elucidations which will be found in the following pages; and which are submitted, in no other spirit, and to no other end, than to diminish the labours of the public, in forming their conclusions, and ultimately deciding upon the matters that those minutes embrace.

Summary
Inside, Francis was easy to spot. He was sitting alone at a booth near the back, clutching at a clear plastic cup filled with lime-green slush, red-faced for all the wrong reasons, so painfully out of place among the hordes of uniformed schoolchildren and jerseyed twenty-somethings that James felt quite like an anthropologist discovering a new species. Perhaps that explained the heady shock of electricity presently irradiating his entire body.
Francis summons James to Taco Bell after receiving some upsetting news.

Summary
“I would’ve thought,” Francis said, “you were capable of basic arithmetic, being a PhD and all.” His arm started pumping faster. The veins on his forearms stood up like sastrugi in snow. Or maybe tire tracks in mud.
A routine encounter in the empty office in the basement of Dease Hall.

Winter in London by RichieTenenbaum

Summary
Winter in London and Francis is learning to busy himself. It is cold and it is damp – drafts like ice through his rooms, smog like smoke in the streets – but Francis is learning to busy himself. Learning to go to the shops, to the market. To write letters, draft and deliver lectures. To address the Royal Society, on this thing, on that; to walk down the street without snarling; to see Sophia for coffee, sometimes for lunch, and to not propose anything at all. To not drink.
A post-rescue AU fic. Francis and James spend a winter in London.

Summary
“The loss of a ship is a small price to pay for the completion of the Passage, wouldn’t you say?” James said, employing his best smile. Make it look easy, make it look painless, and people would gladly follow you—he’d learnt that early on.
“Well I’d not thought to see it,” said Sir John, looking between the two of them. “If both of you are of one mind, there must be some truth to it. Very well.” He clapped his hands together. “Francis, James, the two of you can figure out the logistics. I’ll inform the men after David Young’s funeral service. Begin preparations immediately.”

Summary
“I’m attached,” Francis manages, “I’m with James.” No, not emphatic enough. “I love James.” The words come out like a plea, like they're trying to make themselves true. He remembers James telling him once, months ago, “Stanley likes to set things on fire and watch them burn.”
