* Recommended by: Hwarin
* Status: Complete
* Synopsis: When Solomon had returned from the Arctic in 1849, he’d never imagined he would go back. Apparently, the Arctic was to be his lot in life. No one wanted to hire a disgraced marine, particularly one who had been publicly dismissed for mutinous acts, but the whaling captain who’d eventually hired him had only cared that Solomon knew how to handle himself in Arctic waters. Solomon had returned to work under that same captain year after year every whaling season since.
* Pairing(s): John Irving/Solomon Tozer
* Tags: [[AlternateUniverseFic Alternate Universe]] - Canon Divergence, Somebody Lives/Not Everyone Dies
* Review: An AU that deals with what Tozer (and by extension any other surviving mutineers) may have had to face on their return to England. The author has done their research on historical maritime law, and it adds a lot of depth to the fic. The characterisation - particularly of Irving - is also compelling, and feels incredibly accurate to the series.

* ''Synopsis:'' Crozier shouldn’t have joined a research trip run by Fitzjames, his sworn enemy. He should have salvaged his reputation while he had the chance. And above all, he should have paid more attention to the news coming from Wuhan. But you know what they say about hindsight. OR: The silly/serious AU where they're all in a research ship stranded at sea during the pandemic.

* ''Synopsis:'' "The dreams had always been with him. Since he was a child, Thomas would wake at night, images from a time long past dancing in front of his vision. Some were beautiful, peaceful even. His favorites were the ones with another younger boy; they played in a garden, or climbed trees together. There is a woman too, sometimes; darning socks by candlelight, or singing softly under her breath as she tended to supper. She would take Tom to what looked like a farmers market, basket swinging on her arm. Those dreams left him feeling warm and content upon waking. Then, there were the other dreams."
