Summary
If Harry had occasionally entertained notions about going a little further than friendship with Mr Collins, well, that was nobody’s business but his own. He might have pulled himself off, once upon a time, to thoughts of a man such as Collins, big and broad enough to throw Harry around like a doll. A firm, muscled chest and a soft, rounded belly, perfect for Harry to rest his head on. Such lovely kind eyes.

Summary
Brutus spends his life torn between disquiet, distaste and desperate pining for Caesar, leading to his infamous betrayal. In his own final moments, he raises a plea: “Jupiter Maximus, take pity on me. If by Your grace there is a way to atone for what I did to him, I beg You: let me do so in the afterlife.”
His wish is granted.

Bookmark Notes:
I'm so glad for my random curiosity to have led me here. I just liked the relationship between Caesar and Brutus so much when I was researching them for an English project about trust and betrayal.
Also, I feel so dirty for enjoying the age gap and the weird but ever present dad kink? Idk, but so good. I live for the drama and tragedy that is their lives.
I love complex and nuanced relationships.
The writing was absolutely beautiful.
Loved every single second of it, even the parts that had blood rushing to my face and made me scream at the second hand embarrassment. -

Summary
“Ah, Jopson.” Edward tries to smile. “You needn’t call me ‘Captain’. I’m a lieutenant yet, merely—that is—you needn’t.”
“It’s common courtesy, sir, when a man has command of a ship.” Jopson doesn’t look like a man who has just lost a friend. He doesn’t look like a man who hasn’t slept in three days. He looks like a steward, with his hands steady and his head bowed.
Edward envies his composure, pities his composure, cannot, must not look at his eyes.
Or: on New Year’s Eve, 1847, Francis Crozier dies. All told, it changes very little.

Summary
When Francis Crozier moves to his new research posting in the north of Scotland, he has to move in with his research assistant Jopson because the housing situation is dire. And because he had assumed he would move in with his girlfriend Sophia, who broke up with him shortly before the move.
Trying to move on, Francis tries to integrate into his new environment, helped by Jopson and his old friend Thomas Blanky. Not easy when your boss is the uncle of your ex-girlfriend.
In his first year up north Francis has not only to deal with the pitfalls of academia but also has a front seat to his neighbour's volatile on/off romance, trying to set up his faithful research assistant, too many social work events and and repeated tellings of the time Fitzjames was bitten by a Chinese bat.
But will he be finally able to see what was right in front of him all this time? (Spoiler alert: of course he will, this is a romance, not a tragedy).

Summary
Hickey must’ve seen the pots, before he ever entered Henry’s tent. No matter; Henry’s seen the spring in his step. “What? You thought you had a monopoly on horrors, Mr. Hickey?”
Hickey’s response comes slow once more. His gaze, Henry is starting to suspect, is considering. “I thought I had a monopoly on good sense.”
Or: two reasonable men at the end of the earth.

Summary
When George first suggested inviting John Irving to their extended weekend getaway the group chat exploded in the worst way. George was only slightly mollified by Edward’s response, which was neutral bordering on positive; almost everyone else was entirely against the idea, except for Dundy, who repeatedly asked “who??” and “whomst???” even after George explicitly clarified who he was talking about until George rather belatedly realized Dundy was having him on. He had finally managed to convince them that John would be cool, although he wasn’t entirely convinced himself that that was the case; at least Edward had backed him up in the end, so the blame would be spread out over the two of them if things went truly to shit over the weekend.
