Summary
Innes met Muir on an uncannily sunny day on the Beira D. He hadn't wanted to go pick up the new safety representative but when Van der Bjil says jump he tells him to fuck off and jumps anyway.
He thanks Van der Bjil for making him go every time Muir smiles at him.

A Long Overdue Gift ‘To My Ewan’
I was teary-eyed more than once whilst reading this! Seeing so many familiar details in this is so sweet and touching ;; Leave it to Muir to still misplace his chanter to this very day!I love that Innes is finally able to give Muir his gift in this, long after they’ve passed. The exchange is so beautifully done, it’s hard not to get all teary! The revelation that they don’t need to hide is so emotional…
The book is a quality leather, luckily undamaged by water, not even the word on the front were faded, reading ‘To My Ewan’, this book was a journal of sorts, where Innes wrote all his poetry and random notes, even the rare doodle, the title on the front of the book wasn't added till much later, as the words grew more affectionate, longful, and soon enough, loving, stories and poems written by Innes, starting from inspiration by the sea, and slowly meshing with and replaced by Ewan.
What more can I say besides the fact that I absolutely love this passage. Simply beautiful.
I don’t know how this escaped my Muiradar for so long, but I’m so happy I finally had the chance to read it.

Bookmarker's Notes
Fig Leaf
Firstly, I really like the name of this fic! It’s a proper novelty, Fig Leaf. I also really like its metaphorical implication. A good choice of title!This feels a lot like a standalone chapter for Tempest in a Teapot given how it explores similar mindsets, fears and inner conflicts, which is approached sensitively and explored realistically by this author. I really appreciate how it opens up with a social afterwork scene that evolves into something much more emotionally driven. It’s deep and uncomfortable, but in the end there’s resolution made to dissolve the tension.
I always enjoy reading different ‘slice of life’ depictions of what life on the rig is like, and this fic delicately balances it with internal worries true to the time period.
Innes couldn’t help but watch Muir as he pranced about, clumsily moving his body around to the music with a grin. His movement was mesmerising to Innes, despite it not even being that good or smooth. Just watching Muir have fun was enough to have his heart beating too loud for him to ignore.
Mind the tags with this one!
