Summary
Some nights, the wind shakes the branches of the trees so viciously that in the strange seconds between sleeping and waking, Francis believes he's back at sea.
Francis and James, the expedition's only two survivors, return to England as changed men. But history has a habit of repeating itself, and habits aren't easy to break.

Summary
The sky was still bruised black and blue when Francis woke. He stood over the bed and laid his thumb against the line of James’ jaw, rubbing gently, so James would know it wasn’t a ghost that had gone. Then James sighed like a good dream had got ahold of him and rolled over, one hand flung out into that empty cooling space. Francis put on his boots and left.
Francis Crozier learns to swim.

Summary
It was a living, alright, the way Francis saw it, but it wasn’t a life. A life was made of something other than dry red dust and the dregs of a whiskey bottle. When he imagined his grandparents, who he had never met, he thought, That there must have been a life. What they had belonged to them: six children, twelve acres of green Ulster farmland, a body that joined you in slumber and rolled over to touch you in the morning.
Texas, 1881. Francis Crozier is a cow boss who drinks to drown old hurts. James Fitzjames is a secretive city slicker from New York. Their paths cross at Coppermine Ranch.

Summary
It happens gradually. There is no cliff to jump off of or wall to hit or any other analogy of suddenness that Castiel expected.
Instead, there are increased touches. Longer looks. A brush of lips on knuckles, shoulders, cheeks, lips. Quiet confessions turn into assertions.
It happens gradually.

He lived with false teeth and weakened eyes and sorely troubled sleep, but James could say, as he strode westwards, that he had never been so content as he was now. Save this: he worried about Francis. Ceaselessly.

Summary
If nothing else, James was a professional. Complete shit at relationships, yes, a therapist’s magic ATM, yes, genuinely afraid to take the “Narcissistic Personality Disorder Quiz” Dundy once sent as a joke in case he scored in the highest percentile, yes, basically an all-around sad shell of a human being, yes, but a white-collar seducer. He’d hooked Francis already. Now it was just a matter of reeling him in.
The office lads make a bet, Francis surprises everyone with a secret crush, and James finds himself in very big trouble.

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In the half-year since their return, Francis had become aloof, impassive, withdrawn.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.
