Summary
One of these days, there will be a bruise. One of these days, a tooth will crunch out of his jaw when he bites down. One day something will happen to Hickey, because one day something must happen to Hickey.
When it does, Tozer will see it.
*
With mixed feelings, Tozer anticipates the eventual decline in Hickey's health.

Summary
It had worked. This plan they’d conceived together, miles away while ice-locked on the ship, had actually worked. He can scarcely believe it: standing in the fog at the hastily constructed gallows, Billy had been preparing himself for a much harder, guiltier night than the one he has — somehow — won.
*
A couple in cahoots modestly celebrates a hard-earned victory.

Summary
Wouldn’t do to be sick now. Got to keep it down. Wouldn’t be right to be sick, not when it’s a scrap of a man’s soul he’s been given to make the best use of that he can.
Still, the meat sits uneasy in his stomach.

Summary
During our training, we watched some videos. Interviews with survivors of previous expeditions into Area X. What was it like in there? … Like a dream.
I didn’t come here for the view, of course, but I cannot deny it is beautiful.

Summary
tuunbaq is gone.
silna, above all else, just wants to go home. francis crozier (et al) can't agree more. She lets them follow her: for now. perhaps there is a ship waiting for them. Perhaps it's still the endless expanse. that is, of course, their own personal trouble to haul. it's not silna's business. she has her own problems.aka, this fic is an indulgent excuse to spend more time with my favorites. good fucking luck

Bookmarker's Notes
What sort of bastard hollows out a log in the wall of his own log cabin? The same drafty walls he can’t be bothered to caulk? A rat bastard, that’s what, an incorrigible pest who doesn’t think of tomorrow, or thinks tomorrow he’ll be gone, who cannot stop gnawing at the foundations a sensible man might seek to build upon, who cannot even keep it to skullduggery and subterfuge without property damage—for God’s sake, there was a perfectly good loose floorboard right there.

Summary
He was a problem for Hickey, with his pretty curls and his pretty eyes and his pretty face, and he was a problem that needed solving. Couldn’t keep lying in his hammock thinking about him, couldn’t carry on catching his eye and feeling a stir in his chest.
