Summary
"The place was empty most of the time; Liam marveled that it was still running, they served like 3 people a day. It could get soul-crushingly boring, which is the reason why they sometimes allowed themselves to have a little fun while on the clock. It had never been a problem before". Tommy and Liam are fooling around and Harry sees something he'd rather not have seen.

Summary
"Bill sighed, and sat down to eat. After everything they went through back out there- he savored every bite of every fresh fruit, and warm bread, and good meat. He emptied his mind of all thoughts and concentrated on the mechanics of biting, chewing, swallowing. It was certainly a better way to run from his mind than wasting every night at the pub, sometimes drinking until he vomited.
He wondered what his flat-mate did to escape his own mind."
Tommy Armitage and Bill Pilkington rent a room in London, trying to put themselves back together after the trials of the Expedition. They might just find comfort in one another.

Summary
"From the moment he first set eyes on George Chambers, David knew the boy would need help. He was a skinny, strangely innocent-looking thing; entirely too delicate for the endeavour they were to undertake, he thought. But it was not among Sergeant Bryant’s duties to chaperone a ship’s boy, and so he left it at that. At first.". Five moments shared between David Bryant and George Chambers- and one which was George's alone.

Summary
Obviously, truth is stranger than fiction, and there’s always going to be edge cases in the real world, but for our purposes: just how realistic is Armand’s tragic backstory?
Judging by the number of retweets/reblogs on this post and others like it, fannish opinion seems to be “not very”. But honestly? It’s not that far-fetched.
Or: a fannish academic does a deep dive into the most controversial character in Daniel Molloy’s new novel.

Summary
To be entirely honest, he had wanted to hold Jane from the moment he came aboard at Cape Evans. On spotting Pennell he had flashed him a smile, that smile which he had missed so dearly, and despite the awful bleakness of the loss which hung about them and all the troubles he knew where yet to come Pennell had felt in that moment utterly, blindingly happy.

Summary
“What happened to you?” Henrietta asks. The black fabric of her dress has begun to go gray.
A different woman might take affront. Anna finds nothing but relief in the question. People have gone to great lengths to preserve a sense of normality in her company, saying nothing of the tremor in her hands or the streak of white that runs through her hair though she is only thirty.
“I lost my heart,” Anna explains. “It was taken out of my body.”
