Fabulous post rescue for Francis and James, settling into a cottage in Dover.

Summary
The delicate curve of James’s ankle may well drive him mad. Francis can feel it resting against his own, the sharp little point of his ankle bone pressing into him. He spares him a withering glance over the table. James practically glows as he chatters heedlessly on with Lady Ann. Across the table from him, Ross lifts an eyebrow.

Written for the 2018 kink meme! Terror's Captain and her Ice Master have an old understanding. Turns out, there's more than one way to get a cranky Irishman het up for a good tumble.

Summary
“But you’re married now.” James shot him a look at the emphasis on the word, knew he’d caught his intention even in his inebriated state.
“That shouldn’t mean things must change between us.”
Never mind that, James was speaking nonsense.
“Is one not supposed to leave a couple to their newlywed bliss?”
Francis could almost hear James roll his eyes as he came to a halt. “You simply aren’t paying attention Frank.”- Language:

Summary
In the half-year since their return, Francis had become aloof, impassive, withdrawn. There was no logic to this strange metamorphosis. At Greenhithe, Francis had promised to look after him. Had told James: Come find me. Yet Francis had never been further out of reach.
On a cold spring day in 1849, Francis drops everything and flees London for his sister's farm in Ireland. James, hurt and hungry for answers, gives chase.

Summary
The first sign of Fitzjames imminent arrival is always a telegram: no matter how many letters he sends, he always abuses the newfangled system to send a note the moment he sets foot in London proper.
It is as much a courtesy as it is a warning: James is never calm after his commissions, eager to talk and to sulk and to speak with someone who understands. Francis wouldn’t extend his hospitality to anyone, and these days it is mainly reserved for those he managed to claw from the Arctic despite the odds.- Language:

Summary
Tom has never felt so stupid as when Lieutenant Little called for them to turn around and he’d found himself held at gunpoint by the mutineers. By Magnus.
Magnus who’d let Tom cry into his shoulder after John died. Magnus who was scared of ghosts. Magnus who was still just a little boy.
Tom had almost called out to him, almost taken a step forward. Lieutenant Little had been quicker.Tom Hartnell faces the end of the barrel, the betrayal of his captain's orders, and Death who follows him always.

Summary
Francis was fond of kissing and being kissed, fond of a hand stroking in his hair or on his back, fond of hearing James’ choked sounds of pleasure and feeling James’ yard in his hand, but he would not suffer himself to be touched thus in return. The idea James had, the risk he would be taking, was this: a way of bringing Francis pleasure without the use of his touch.

Jopson had thought he was humouring him, when he’d agreed to this, but it gets to him. The Captain’s hole is tight and hot around his cock, yielding reluctantly to his penetration, and the idea that he could plant his seed there, that he could fuck him so deep and come so hard that…

What greater affection is there, than shaving one you love in standard and then surprising ways?
