Summary
Lit by the flattering glow of the fire, James is dressed for a night in. Over a collared nightshirt he wears a dressing gown, rather more like a tea gown considering it comes down to cover his ankles, and velvet slippers with embroidered toes that stick out just beneath the hem. Receiving no response from Francis, he sets the letter on the mantle and turns to face him, one hand on his slim hip. He rests his fingers in the tie around his waist—Christ, such a flimsy thing, would be so easy to pull loose—and gives Francis an appraising look.
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you speechless, Francis. What’s come over you?”
Francis blinks. His hand flickers up to rub his beard again, but he manages to stop himself. “You.”
“Oh.” James’ eyebrows arch upwards. “Do tell.”
Or: Francis is inspired by James' casual attire and defiles the man against their fireplace. (Excessively adoring post-rescue smut with exactly zero plot.)

Summary
He is good at suppressing desire. It has gotten him far. He’s walked this tightrope for four-and-thirty years without error, without mistake. He has built a barrier high as a pressure ridge, high as the Great Wall of China, between the Royal Navy man he has to be at sea and the base desires that live in the pit of his stomach.
And Francis Crozier has taken a sledgehammer to its very foundations.
Or: In the aftermath of the altercation in "First Shot a Winner, Lads," Fitzjames reckons with the desires he's been repressing since 1845.
