And he came finally to the ship, and it was warm and they were dry and safe. They splinted Stephen's leg, and they drank coffee, and ate. And they slept-- safe.

(At least that is what I think.)

Thank you for this.

Awwwwww. What a bittersweet story! Stephen so trusting in Jack, who is the steadfast rock in all.

Thank you.

And thank you for joining. It is lovely to see you again. So my thanks also to you and miki_moo for the arrangement.:)

\o/ And it was all the sweet angst I hoped it would be :)

"“Do you think we’ll go on forever then?” Stephen asked. “I, a sack of potatoes over the shoulder of Captain Jack Aubrey; Jack, in search of his favourite ship.”"

Certainly they will live forever in our hearts.

What a beautiful tale of friendship and - despite the cold conditions outside - the warmth of love.

Happy Advent.

“I think we should do this more often.”
“No, no. I can’t agree,” Jack said.

Neither can I.
What a beautiful story in beautiful writing. ♥
