Summary
“Well. I’ll pick the story, then.” Ellwood drew Gaunt’s head down into the crook of his shoulder, rearranging them until they were comfortably tangled together, warm bare skin against warm bare skin. “And then you tell it, exactly as you remember it.”
A New Year’s story, then and now.

Summary
“We… found you out by Lake Franklin, on the rocks,” Goodsir began, halting. “Sprawled there, all but dying. Your body was shutting down. None of us knew who put you there or why you might have arrived. Dr McDonald and I have been working to stabilise you.”
“McDonald,” James repeated. Once more, his judgement of the situation veered toward his own afterlife - - McDonald had died during the Carnivale fire. “I - I died, then? This is - Hell, or Heaven, or some such afterlife?”
Goodsir stared at him.
“I don’t quite think so, sir,” he said. “As I said, this town - it’s for… er, unworldly things, I should suppose you might say. Things that might make men uncomfortable, should they know they roomed with us. It’s safer for us here, out of the way.”
or: Life after death is not a foreign concept to James - but he'd not been expecting this. Struck with the knowledge he's been placed into a different time, James finds himself unable to escape the Expedition in a new way - each face he meets in town is one he greeted on the ships in 1845, and some of them seem awfully interested in seeing history repeat itself.

Summary
You want him to keep you, shame whispered when it reached his ear, making Thomas purse his lips and suppress a shudder as his fingers curled around the tea canister he had stored up top earlier that morning. You want him to keep you, and that is a far more terrible thing.
It is shameful fantasy and nothing but to desire Edward Little the way he does. Thomas, more fool him, will take that secret to his grave.
