Summary
James likes older men. And not like everyone else his age seems to do, vaguely wishing to be with a thirty-something, or forty year old, at best. No, James likes them old, thirty years his seniors, with lines on their faces and bellies to hold onto. His head only turns when crossing paths with middle aged men whose kids are his own age: he doesn't care about people ten years older than him, wouldn’t know what to do with them. He dreams about the family fathers, the men who have long lost the chance to be with someone as young as James, as fresh as him. He wants them to lose their minds over him, wants them to only think about him day and night, to lose their sleep over him, wants to be a femme fatale for them, their dirty little secret they can’t stop obsessing about, yet have to keep hidden.

Summary
London, 1850: Francis finds himself the object of a proposal, as opposed to its subject. This outcome is rather better than in Francis's previous experience.

Summary
What a vision James was in uniform: jacket tapering down to his narrow waist, a neat row of gilded buttons pointing right at the fork of his trousers, the ensemble adorned with glinting epaulettes on his broad shoulders and tall leather boots on his slender legs.
And those gloves. Francis had spent all night staring at his gloves.

Summary
Francis returns to his cabin from seeing off David Young on his transport to Erebus to find that his chess set has been disturbed.
It’s barely anything. Two pawns and a knight on either side of the board have been touched, and the white king and queen moved forward one row. There isn’t any semblance of strategy to the way the board has been set up: more white pieces than black have been moved, for a start. It does not seem like the intention was for any serious game to play out. Rather, it seems as though whoever touched the board was merely looking to amuse himself to pass the time.
Of course, Francis knows exactly who it was that rearranged the chess set. He knows it was Fitzjames, because he watched him do it.
Or: five times Francis is distracted by James’s hands without him noticing, and one time James makes excellent use of that distraction.

Summary
“No matter how you got here, Barrow or anyone else’s bed. You can’t fuck your way to a good performance, Fitzjames,” Crozier stamped his words sharp enough to draw blood. His hands were clasped tightly behind his back, as if restraining them. James swallowed the chill creeping up his spine. He wasn’t about to back down – he never did – and certainly not to him.
“That’s right,” he shot back, his voice low. “Because anyone would rather die under a bridge than touch a miserable drunk like you.”OR
Francis doesn't jerk off timely and sparks a social media scandal that DID NOT kill John Franklin (not a click bait!)OR
Francis might land a job of his life and a boyfriend of his dream if he doesn't fuck it up
