    Summary

    The Europa Project was ambitious: more than a hundred crew, mostly civilian scientists, flew to Jupiter's icy moon aboard the Commonwealth Space Commission vessel Erebus under the command of Sir John Franklin. They planned to spend a year studying ice core samples drilled out of the surface, and secure the rights to mine for resources. But within days of landing, communications ceased. For months, the ship and all her crew were presumed lost.

    Now, satellites have picked up images of Erebus on her way back to Earth. A ship, the Lyra, commanded by Sir James Ross, has been dispatched to intercept it, and journalist Sophia Cracroft has been assigned to the crew to report on their mission of mercy. But what they find will be more than mercy can solve.

    Summary

    “I’m surprised you’ve not met,” Ross said, as James stuck out his hand for Crozier to shake. He had big, solid hands, surprisingly rough with callouses. “We’re rather lucky to have him for this production. He’s a bit too good for us. Francis, this is James Fitzjames, that young baritone everyone keeps talking about.”

    Crozier’s interested gaze cooled. His smile became a sneer. He opened his mouth and said, “The cover.”

    Summary

    Однажды Том Блэнки, давно уволившийся из Университета, заглянул в расписание нового семестра и увидел там странный предмет - "Историю квирности". И немедленно подбил своего лучшего друга Фрэнсиса сходить и послушать, что за фигню вешают нынче на уши студентам-историкам. Только вот беда, лекции читает Джеймс Фитцджеймс, молодой болтливый аспирант и открытый гей, которого Фрэнсис не переносит на дух... Нет, совсем не потому что Фитцджеймс гей.
    Как вы вообще могли такое подумать?!

    Summary

    In the precise moment that door swung open and James saw the stunning blonde woman stepping inside, he couldn’t help but mourn the fact that Dundy would never believe that he’d turned over a new leaf now. Which he had, in large part to spite Dundy’s constant jokes about James’ abysmal taste in men.

    “Oh wow,” she said, pumps clicking on the kitchen floor as she flicked on the lightswitch. “You’re really quite naked.”

    Summary

    Frances is bored, and she's had a shit week, and that's the only reason to attend the party Golding invited her to. Everyone here is half her age, she hates Golding's guts, and she knows it's a terrible idea to stay. It's even worse of an idea to let a pretty stranger seduce her, but Frances is past making good decisions.

    Written for The Terror Yuri Week 2025! It's part of a series but can totally be read as a stand-alone. I just wanted to write some Hickey/Crozier yuri.

    Summary

    Oh, no. James Ross has roped Francis into a trial group with John Franklin.

    Eleven other people. Most of them strangers. An environment almost guaranteed to be higher stress than he’d faced tonight, especially if John was involved. Francis chose these little dungeons because they only have space for three people he knows and trusts – most certainly not people he has not had the time to figure out and even less time to understand! Notwithstanding those who he did understand and did not like!

    He feels it before he’s even started typing. He begins with an N.

    Francis types an O.

    He re-reads some of James’ messages. Francis’ eyes catch on James’ smiley face. Thinks of James beaming widely at him.

    Francis swears, loud and colourful.

    Francis plays a video game over Christmas. There's a new person moving into his building. In both places, he meets someone new.

    Summary

    Francis felt he was observing James as a naturalist might observe the patterns of a strange and alien creature, as though he had suddenly received more insight into James’s nature than he had ever expected or even desired—that he had glimpsed a soft underbelly James himself perhaps did not know he possessed.

    Summary

    All his life James had wanted nothing more than to find his soulmate, the man with a mark matching the one that appeared on his own ribs in his youth. When a bullet tears through his soulmark James can only hope it won’t break his chance at true love, his chance to find whoever he is bound to by fate.

    But it does come as a surprise when he spots that familiar mark on Francis Crozier.

    Summary

    It is Sir John and Lady Jane’s ongoing trial that Francis wished to marry Miss Sophia Cracroft. Oh, but there are so many more appropriate men - even those better matched within the Discovery Service! Why, a well-placed engagement could improve mutual reputations and cause quite the ‘it’ pair within the Admiralty. Thus, upon an embarrassing and early return to England, Sophia Cracroft and James Fitzjames are strongly encouraged by the Franklins that their pairing would be fortuitous, elevate their standing, and offset some of the detrimental press caused by another failed attempt at the Passage. Hilarity ensues.

    Summary

    It's Admiralty North’s Third Quarter Celebration and Pool Party, and Francis would rather be anywhere else. Too bad he's about to get the worst promotion of his life.

    Featuring: scads of cursing; Boys in a Pool; misspelled text messages; an ill-advised hookup in a nautical-themed bedroom; offscreen amateur lockpicking; post-adrenaline giggle fits; so many semicolons oh my god; and, possibly, the start of something beautiful.

    Summary

    He should not be thinking of Sir James. He should be thinking of Miss Joelle Fitzjames, the lady he might have had a chance with, if only he hadn’t acted like such a drunken oaf…and yet Sir James was a worm in the apple of Francis’ mind, a pebble in his shoe.

    Summary

    “Francis,” questions Sir John, in a low and wary voice, “what in God’s name do you think you’re doing?”

    [...] “Mutiny,” Francis answers, simply, and he tugs the knot tight around Sir John’s wrists before shoving him down into his chair. He goes, easily—Sir John may be a large man, but he is not a particularly substantial one—and wheezes as his back slams into the wood.
    --
    Francis decides to take direct action. Sir John reacts oddly to his predicament.

    Summary

    Francis Crozier burst into Taco Bell at 2am, face flushed and sweating, his fine hair stringy, and so obviously drunk that it was astonishing he was even upright. “I haven’t been here in months,” he slurred.

    “How can I help you, sir?” said Jopson. Tommy Armitage, the other cashier on duty, was radiating dread, but Jopson’s body glowed like a neon sign.

    Summary

    October, 1987. With the Thatcher government entering its third term, Defence minister Sir John Franklin looks to offload two of his dockside London properties: one, a successful dance school directed by celebrated principal danseur James Fitzjames, and the other, a century-old boxing gym helmed by former middleweight Olympic hopeful turned disgraced misanthrope Francis Crozier.

    In a show of generosity, Franklin offers Crozier the chance to buy out the gym he's poured over a decade of work into. It should be the opportunity he's been waiting for – except Crozier's barely keeping the gym afloat as it is, and Franklin's asking price far exceeds his means. With only one month to cough up the funds or forfeit the gym, Crozier finds himself backed into a corner, fighting for a piece of history he refuses to let go and against a past that's just waiting for him to give in.

    Summary

    Francis signs on for a year long trip to the Arctic Circle because it is actually a good research opportunity despite the documentary crew tagging along. Temperature measurements. Ice cores. Magnetic readings. So on and so forth. Nowhere in any of the reams of paperwork he signed did it suggest ghosts, let alone raving spirits of the ice itself hellbent on revenge for things his team did not do.
