Summary
“I didn’t know where else to go.”
[...]
“Tommy.” A shocked gasp, a question unasked. Sergeant Tozer, brow pinched with worry, and golden from the slight glow of candlelight, looks him up and down before he opens de whitewashed door further, a gust of hot air caressing his cheek like a stray ray of sun. “G’wed, lad, you’ll freeze to death out there!”A year in the life of Thomas Armitage after he moved to a cottage in the South of England on the early days of spring 1850.

Summary
Were they to continue on like this, trudging through the featureless landscape of King William Land as unwilling and mistrustful allies, suspicious of one another but clinging together because each man’s fear of loneliness outweighed his fear of what the other was capable of?

Summary
John gives up, letting his head drop into his hands. He is being punished. He’s not sure what for exactly, but it must be something terribly wicked or unforgivably ordinary or maybe this is just who he is: John Irving, a man destined to get trapped in the sweater of life only to emerge wearing it backwards.
He looks up into Tommy’s big pretty eyes that stare back at him as though he’s just told him he’d like to give it all up for a serious shot at a career as a mime. “What do I do?”
Tommy’s expression shifts into a mean edged sort of pity. He shrugs. “Pray?”

He is, of course, wrong.

Summary
Fitzjames volunteered to sail with Sir James Ross to the Antarctic, but the Admiralty wanted a return from his expensive training on the Excellent, so he was appointed gunnery lieutenant to HMS Ganges instead. He never got as far as an interview with Ross.
A what-if, and the adventure that follows.
