    Summary

    The court-martial of the survivors of the Franklin Expedition takes place in an atmosphere of oppressive failure. Fairholme, who against the odds did find the walkout party, is essentially untouchable; James is too ill to be tried; Dundy is apparently too loved-up to think. Francis is a convenient scapegoat for everything that the public now know went very, very wrong (as well as what they don't). He faces a death sentence - but not if James can help it. Desperate times call for desperate measures (Victorian newspaper pastiche).

    Summary

    So what if Francis was alive? She had seen people come back from expeditions wishing they hadn’t. Leaving some part of themselves in the ice. And all of this because she had asked him to do the impossible - to protect her uncle from himself. A fool’s errand.
    John Franklin had been dead from the moment he decided to set on the expedition and she realised this only after a part of Francis had already died with him.
    Still, she needed to be certain - to see just what was left of Francis when he came back to London. To see his dark, empty flat, the smell of whiskey in the air and think: I did this.

    And so, Sophia set out to the very address where she had been sending all her letters.

    Summary

    “My dear Knight-Commander Fitzjames!” says the little imp scandalised, “Knight-Commander Crozier stays here of his own accord!”
    Francis grimaces, as the fairy pokes at him with a large yellow calendula. He has taken the form of young Cornelius Hickey now, even if draped in sunflower petals and spiderwebs, white fangs bared in glee.
    The actual boy is still clenching his jaw on the ground where Francis has thrown him, to safety outside the fairy ring.
    “My apologies,” says James amiably, “I seem to have misunderstood the situation.”

     

    In which Knight-Commander Francis Crozier of the Order of the Missing Star awaits rescue inside a fairy ring.

    Summary

    And even so, the Border hadn’t moved or apparently changed in 30 years. Still largely impassable, still essentially invisible until you were right up against it—could note its odd, diaphanous sheen that seemed to drip down through an unseen slit in the earth. Descending from nowhere, its origin too far and obscure to divine. They told him that within reaching distance it seemed to hum.

    Summary

    Francis felt he was observing James as a naturalist might observe the patterns of a strange and alien creature, as though he had suddenly received more insight into James’s nature than he had ever expected or even desired—that he had glimpsed a soft underbelly James himself perhaps did not know he possessed.

    Summary

    All his life James had wanted nothing more than to find his soulmate, the man with a mark matching the one that appeared on his own ribs in his youth. When a bullet tears through his soulmark James can only hope it won’t break his chance at true love, his chance to find whoever he is bound to by fate.

    But it does come as a surprise when he spots that familiar mark on Francis Crozier.

    Summary

    In 1850, James Ross' expedition to the North Pole is welcomed home by his old friend Francis Crozier. This would be the perfect time to announce his retirement and make Francis the new leader of the expedition, alongside Ross' second, James Fitzjames.

    Perfect, that is, if Crozier and Fitzjames could talk to each other without starting a fight.

    Summary

    He took a sip, grimaced, and wondered when Francis Crozier’s opinion had come to mean so much to him.

    It didn’t, he told himself. Not really. Only that Francis was one of the best working photographers in their field, arguably in the history of Erebus Images, and James had found a strand of grey in his hair this morning.

    A small change forces James to confront some hard truths about himself. Francis is there to help.

    Summary

    It is Sir John and Lady Jane’s ongoing trial that Francis wished to marry Miss Sophia Cracroft. Oh, but there are so many more appropriate men - even those better matched within the Discovery Service! Why, a well-placed engagement could improve mutual reputations and cause quite the ‘it’ pair within the Admiralty. Thus, upon an embarrassing and early return to England, Sophia Cracroft and James Fitzjames are strongly encouraged by the Franklins that their pairing would be fortuitous, elevate their standing, and offset some of the detrimental press caused by another failed attempt at the Passage. Hilarity ensues.

    Summary

    James. James. he took a good look at the man as he introduced himself, half awake, half dreaming. A vision of a man, this James the botanist. Francis felt like a gaping fool.

    Francis answers an advert in the lonely hearts column of his local weekly. It all goes downhill from there.
