Summary
"Would you like to be Captain of the Mizzen, Billy Budd?"
"Oh, yes," Billy said, nodding. "Or to be your coxswain. I'd like that, too."
He spoke without nervousness, only an appropriate and respectful shyness through which his natural cheer shone. It was as if Helios had been called down from the heavens into the stern cabin of Captain Edward Fairfax Vere.
"Why?" Vere inquired.
"To be near you," Budd answered plainly, without shame or compunction. "I swear I would serve you well. You would be safe with me, sir."Bookmarked by stoportotouch

Summary
When soldiers drag Daniil from the Stillwater, he resigns himself to being brought back to the Capital in chains. To humiliation and eventual imprisonment, but Artemy Burakh has never known when to accept that someone is beyond saving.
His reckless intervention leaves them handcuffed together and stranded in the steppe, with soldiers close on their heels and days of wilderness between them and the town. Only together can they survive long enough to reach it, but with his work and life as he knew it already destroyed, does Daniil truly want to?

Summary
A day in the life of Ned Little and Georgie Hodgson, where they discover new ways to cherish themselves and each other—body and soul.
Meet Edward. He’s nothing special. At least, that’s what he believes—hardly worth talking about.So instead let’s meet Edward’s girlfriend, Georgie. She’s gorgeous. Or, as she likes to put it, georgious. Golden hair cut into the pixie style of the ’60s actresses she adores, wide sapphire eyes, a ever-smiling face like a sunny day. All atop the tall, lithe body of a runway model. You can’t miss the moment she enters a room, standing a head above the crowd, her stance as confident as her takes on the French New Wave.
Sometimes Edward thinks her only flaw is poor judgment—or maybe poor eyesight—because he can’t fathom why she’d choose to be with him of all people. At times he’s convinced his sole purpose is to persuade Georgie she could do better. Fortunately for him, Georgie tends to have her own opinions on such matters.

Summary
The Franklin Expedition is trapped in pack ice on their quest for the Northwest Passage. Instead of a Tuunbaq, they've brought their own monster with them. Time and reality bleed away as John Irving discovers that he is especially susceptible prey.
Or; What if a ship was a haunted house? What if a ship was a coffin? What if a ship was an abandoned church?
What if a story containing all those things was also a romance, and what if a romance didn't necessitate a happy ending, or an ending at all?Or; John Irving is the heroine in a gothic romance/paranormal romance/harem anime. It's spooky, sentimental, and soaked in blood.

Summary
In which the Haruspex dies at his old friend's hands, but won't leave the stage so easily.
-
The light ended at Artemy’s chest; everything above it was darkness, no way of seeing whether he still wore that blood around his mouth or that question - Why? - in his unblinking eyes.
“You’re not here,” Stakh said, a dry murmur sticking to the roof of his mouth.
“Where else should I be?” Artemy stood too still for a man speaking, drained of all the small movements Stakh had taken for granted as part of someone alive. “Nowhere else was safe. The town was hunting me. I came looking for a friend I could count on, someone who would believe me.”

Summary
Edward Little had always fancied himself a man who disliked eccentricity. It had struck him as a garish, selfish trait to possess, insincere far past ridiculous.
He had fancied himself a man who disliked eccentricity, and yet the more contact he’d had with Lieutenant Hodgson’s eccentricities, the more harmless - even charming - they had seemed.
Little returns from the Open Water Ambush down a Captain but up a Lieutenant. The trouble is that Lieutenant Hodgson isn't as he remembered him.

Summary
George was no devil. He liked to poke at John—prod at him, bring him out of his shell—josh and tease and tell long rambling stories with uncertain morals but he was not, could not be the sort of agent of Satan whom John had long feared would come along and tip him once and for all into perdition. John was sure he would know that man when he saw him: his nature would be unmistakable.
No, the only soul at fault here was John; the only evil here was his own. He had been lax with his devotions, thinking himself too happily content to need them. He had not felt himself about to fall.

Summary
John gives up, letting his head drop into his hands. He is being punished. He’s not sure what for exactly, but it must be something terribly wicked or unforgivably ordinary or maybe this is just who he is: John Irving, a man destined to get trapped in the sweater of life only to emerge wearing it backwards.
He looks up into Tommy’s big pretty eyes that stare back at him as though he’s just told him he’d like to give it all up for a serious shot at a career as a mime. “What do I do?”
Tommy’s expression shifts into a mean edged sort of pity. He shrugs. “Pray?”

Summary
The morning routines are so well-practiced by now as to be muscle memory. This morning, they demand more effort than they should. That’s wrong, a voice whispers in the back of Irving's mind — but everything is wrong here, in this endless purgatory of chill and gloom. The ice takes from them all, day by passing day. No one feels well. A bit of soreness, a lingering headache, fatigue and fogginess dogging one’s heels… it’s all become normal. Amidst the blur of dark and dread, the men hardly notice anymore.
So why should an ache in his head be any different?
( Amidst the dark and cold, John Irving is laid low by a migraine. Luckily, he does not have to bear it alone. )

Summary
By all the rotten luck on this side of the Gorkhon, Vladislav Olgimsky's son and heir is born just months before Isidor's. Fat Vlad spends years milking this little coincidence for a sense of superiority over the doctor --- and for the fun of getting under his skin. Eager to share every moment and every factor that makes his son smarter, stronger, more mature, more promising, and overall better that Isidor's. That is until one day when the bragging seems to just...stop. Isidor assumes that Vlad has just grown born with this little game until a few years later Vlad asks for Isidor's help in course-correcting his son's social development and untangling why he's such a little weirdo (but not like...in a homophobic way). Isidor is at first intrigued by this request and eager to gloat himself over his superior fathering abilities, but things quickly get out of hand and Isidor finds himself wishing that Vlad had never asked.

Summary
“Will you go with us? The path ahead of us is long and hard.”
Artemy strained to move his jaw against the crushing, loving embrace of the living Town. I cherish everything alive. Are they not breathing? Are they not human? Are they not also creatures of the earth? He managed to pry open his mouth, and could hear Lines snapping.
“Yes,” he forced out. “Yes, of course I will.”

Summary
Some nights Daniil Dankovsky gets wasted beyond all reason and comprehension. Some nights Artemy Burakh loses all track of time out in the steppe. Some nights Clara Saburova runs through the streets of town, wailing that she's dying.
Some nights, the healers need to rely on each other and gratitude seems too small a word.
