    Summary

    “I have been miserable,” Francis says, “for a very long time. Since before we returned, and certainly before we set off on the expedition at all. You know this, James, you— you have seen the worst of me.”

    The surviving crew of the Franklin Expedition returns home. Ross throws a party. James Fitzjames attempts to recover what has been left in the ice.

    Once they stepped ashore, a fey dark-haired man burst through the crowd a few heads down from Jane Franklin. When Fitzjames saw his brother, he startled, and when Will surged forward in the first press of the crowds around the returned—elfin face wet with tears as he swept James into a fierce embrace—only then did Fitzjames release his grip on Francis’s arm.

     

    Only then did Francis feel as if he could step away at last.

     

    Written for the 2023 Fall Fitzier Exchange, for the prompt: "Post-canon AU where, once they get home, Crozier and Fitzjames are riddled with guilt and trauma, and deal with their feelings by throwing themselves into caring for the surviving men..."
