Summary
“By the way, who is Francis?”
James Fitzjames stops as if struck by lightning. The hand still gripping the handle doesn’t visibly tremble, but he feels that nervous quivering inside, throughout his whole body, as if he were about to explode.
“I wanted to forget about him,” he says, speaking consciously for the first time during this encounter. The woman catches the hint, but only partially; as he steps out onto the street, he can still hear her mocking voice behind him:
“You’re not doing very well at this, darling!”
James Fitzjames has returned from the expedition. He is very changed.

Summary
He knew that Somers would not have enjoyed such a violent rebellion against the inevitable. Perhaps he would have rebuked him, in a gentle, almost hesitant voice: "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, Stephen. Blessed be the name of the Lord."
And then Decatur would only have cursed louder.
A dreadful and momentous night

Summary
Soon, his still young, handsome features will be consumed by disease, and James, the dashing hero, will become a pitiful wreck of a man. Is it worth to live that way, knowing perfectly well how it must end, withering slowly but inevitably like a forgotten flower? Perhaps it is better to prevent the pitiful descent into a state of ugliness
Five times when James Fitzjames was distressed by the effects of the disease on his body, and one time when it no longer mattered.

Summary
His face, so grey and emaciated, strangely reminds Burr of Theo's, even though the two bear no resemblance to each other in appearance. This delicate thread of similarity provokes a sudden protest in his heart. Hamilton is not Theo; he is his own person, wild, real, alive, so very alive. His destiny is to destroy Burr's life, and Burr cannot imagine a world without him.
Late-night discussions; about infidelity, love and hopelessness

Summary
Perhaps the root of the problem was that Darcy was simply a bad friend, that upon a vision of his friend happy and in love, some part of him cringed and screeched like an ill-tempered child. But he was not a child. He was a man, and so was Bingley, and good men were accomplished and considerate and clever. Men married wives. It was a foolish boy’s dream to live with one’s friend forever, and never to marry a wife. // Darcy comes to understand how men might dream as well.

This History; A Couple of Ruins by hangingfire for veganthranduil

Tags
Summary
In this world, Francis Crozier and James Fitzjames survived. Taking the travel cure around the Mediterranean, they arrive in Naples, and venture out to take in the ruins at Pompeii. Man proposes, God disposes.
Isn’t the blue stream that runs past you a translation from the Russian?
Aren’t my eyes bigger than love?
Isn’t this history, and aren’t we a couple of ruins?
Is Carthage Pompeii? is the pillow the bed? is the sun
What glues our heads together? O midnight! O midnight!
Is love what we are,
Or has happiness come to me in a private car
That’s so very small I’m amazed to see it there?—Kenneth Koch, "In Love With You"

Summary
James knew then, with a devastating certainty, that there was nothing awaiting him in England. This shell of a man he had become, or rather what yolk had run out once the shell was broken, had no friends there. All who once knew him would look at him with this same pity, and excuse themselves from his company. He no longer had anything to offer them to keep them by his side.
A story about longing and belonging.
