Summary
The way he'd always heard falling in love described sounded a lot like going mad. Losing the ability to think, becoming singularly focused, craving something ceaselessly. He'd always scoffed at the very notion.
“Then he'd seen her, cold and aloof, flitting gracefully through the crowd, champagne flute held elegantly in her long, delicate fingers, and he'd thought that perhaps, for the first time in the many lives he'd lived, he understood the impulse.

Summary
The man smiled at him, and it was so dazzling that Edward was pretty sure he could get a suntan from the light in his eyes. “I’m Thomas. Thomas Jopson.” Something about the way he said his name struck Edward as charmingly anachronistic. Though maybe that was just the name itself. Thomas Jopson.
It suited the man though, with his dark hair and his arrestingly blue eyes and his lithe muscles that he could surely use to take Edward so totally apart.
“I’m Edward,” he finally managed, as though an embarrassingly long moment hadn’t passed. As long as he said something charming and smooth now, though, he could probably salvage it. “You’re really pretty. Handsome. Attractive.” Fuck.

Summary
“Close your eyes, Billy,” Cornelius called through the door the next morning, and Billy swore under his breath, listening intently for any sounds of sirens that may have followed his boyfriend from the scene of whatever crime had stuck his fancy that morning.
“They’re closed,” Billy promised, eyes wide open and locked on the door.
“No they’re not,” Cornelius scoffed. “I can come in there and blindfold you if need be.”
“Promise?” Billy had intended to make the snide comment under his breath, but based on Cornelius’ little snort, he’d been overheard. Someday he’d get Cornelius to relax enough to stop paying attention to every little thing all the time, but today he was just worried about talking them both out of jail.
“Close your eyes, Billy, and put out your hands.”
“No,” Billy shot back immediately. He had no problem giving Cornelius a handy when the time called for it, but this was not the way to approach it.
“Relax, I’m not going to have congress with it,” Cornelius scoffed, as though the very idea were ridiculous, though just last week he had done exactly that. “Honestly, you should probably see someone about all those dirty thoughts you have.”

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.
