Summary
“Make a wish,” Strong said teasingly. The little pellets of metal came in the food often enough that it had become a bit of a joke among Terror’s crew. Whatever else, there weren’t any ladybirds to wish on this far north. They had to have something.
“Well? What’d you wish for?” Manson asked. His face was wide and earnest.
For a moment something serious passed over young Evan’s face. Then he said, “More bloody ice,” and the table laughed.
Following the tins.

He was a problem for Hickey, with his pretty curls and his pretty eyes and his pretty face, and he was a problem that needed solving. Couldn’t keep lying in his hammock thinking about him, couldn’t carry on catching his eye and feeling a stir in his chest.

Summary
Little started to rise, winced, as though he were dizzy, and then froze at the sight of his own hand upon the railing of the sledge, the dirt and grime encrusted on his fingers and beneath his nails. He touched the fraying cuff of his sleeve as Goodsir leaned over to inspect the bandages, and then something seemed to occur to him. Faltering, he asked, “How long has it been since we set out from Greenhithe?”
“Greenhithe?” The surgeon echoed, in quiet horror.
A whole bloody lifetime, he thought. “Three years.” Solomon had lost track of the days, but Little himself had read aloud the date of their execution before the gallows. “It’s May. Of 1848.”
When Tommy Armitage knocks the last three years of memories from Lieutenant Little’s head, Solomon Tozer finds himself the linchpin in an elaborate ruse to convince Little that he joined their mutiny willingly.

Summary
"What were you, before you were this?" Athos whispers, an undetermined lapse of time later.
There's a pause long enough to make him wonder if Grimaud is even still there.
"Nothing," the answer finally comes.
"What did you want to be, then," Athos amends, sounding neutral. Something must have happened to make Grimaud like this, that much he knows. He doesn't harbor hopes of changing or even befriending him, but he wants to know.
"Powerful," Grimaud answers, his head back, eyes closed.
Rewriting season three with an Athos/Grimaud spin, exploring the dynamics between the two characters.
