Summary
Fresh vines of shame shoot from hardened stems at the thought and coil around Francis' ribs. Nearly everything he could have asked for then and more: James alive, alongside the majority their men, rescued, with a home of their own and a small garden besides as spring makes inroads into a winter too mild to turn even the Channel’s feeble puddles into ice.

Summary
“If you are looking for my case files–”
“I am not looking for your case files,” comes the irate reply, followed shortly by the man himself, looking equally irate. He has in his hand a glass of water and a blister pack of paracetamol, which he offers James presently.
Imagine that: being nursed back to health by Francis Crozier.

Summary
Gates blamed the rum he’d been nursing steadily over the course of the evening for his slowness, his reluctance to pull away.
He would blame the rum, too, for what would happen next.
Flint’s eyes were open again and on him, pinning Gates in place more effectively than Flint’s hands ever could, and Gates knew in his bones what would be asked of him next, and knew what his answer would be.
“Gates… I need you to do me a favor.”
