    Summary

    What would change about Moby-Dick if the major driving forces of the narrative were women?

    How much does this single factor radically alter their choices, their relationships, and their eventual end? What would it take for the women of Starbuck and Ahab to stand in the same places as their male counterparts in the novel? Do they go undercover as men to attain power? How do they feel about that? Why is this the power they seek? Is that power enough to save them?

    Or, Moby Dick, reimagined through the lens of Captain Ahab and First Mate Starbuck as butch women.

    Summary

    Tomorrow morning, the sun will dawn upon the White Whale’s inexorable spout, his hump like a snow-hill, and for the next three days Ahab will chase that haunted whale across the horizon till one of them spouts black blood, and all will collapse, and the great shroud of the sea will roll on as it rolled five thousand years ago. This is how it goes.
    But perhaps not this time. Perhaps...

    Or: Ahab, choosing to live.
    //
    This fic is a look at what it would take to convince Ahab to abandon his chase, to finally turn around, to save himself and his crew and choose life instead. It picks up immediately after The Symphony, goes through all three days of the chase, and then continues on after. It is a fix-it fic, and a Mostly everyone lives AU, but keeps one very significant, canon-compliant death from the book's second day of the chase.

    Summary

    "I just realized," Sara said. "Becky, I could have a tutor now. I could hire someone to teach me anything I wanted. All the things that are hard to learn alone from books — Greek and Latin, Sanskrit, algebra, anything I wanted. What would you learn, Becky, if you could?"
