📍 black thoughts like flies by @mxdzin 1.6k, e, goodstanley, noncon, intrusive thoughts, rape fantasy // DOCTORS/MEDICAL ☑️

Doctor Stanley has long known himself to be a disturbed man. ——— fill for the terror kinktober 2025 day 19: noncon/cnc

this is a very dark, very engrossing piece that gets deep into stanley's head and doesn't hold back! seeing goodsir through his eyes was delightfully disturbing and it ends on such a perfect, tense note.

📍 there's something 'bout you by prouvvaire 2.8k, t, fitzier, pre-canon, jealousy // FAVORITE CHARACTER ☑️

Francis Crozier is looking at his whiskey. James shouldn’t be surprised by this, not after all these years— not when the man has spent near every second he’s been forced to sit in James’ company doing his level best to pretend James doesn’t exist— but they’re here, spring has come and the London frost has begun to thaw, and they will be setting off for the Passage in a matter of months, and Francis Crozier is still looking at his whiskey. or, what if we were at an admiralty dinner and we were both frauds and also boys.

i am of course obsessed with both james and francis and would have a hard time picking a single favorite character between them so thankfully this fic has BOTH! i really love the peek we get into james's ~performance~ in this fic and the conceit of it all, and the way james gets so flustered and bothered by francis's complete inattention (and the attention he pays to ross instead) is just so juicy and so good and sets such a beautiful stage for what we know is coming in canon!

📍 The Light of All Light by @meduseld 200 words, m, bridglar, size difference // UNDER 300 WORDS ☑️

Love comes with comfort. For Kinktober Day 23: "Size Difference"

very sweet character piece! love these two and the difference between how peglar feels about his size in general vs with john. feels good feels right!!

📍 fitzier as bound (art) by @mullomohiam FANART ☑️

look at them!!!!!! they're just hot what can i say. love this concept/pose for them and the execution is so good... respectfully zooming in on jamie's armpit hair

📍 Lose My Heart On The Burning Sand by @gairfowl 5.4k, e, jopzier, canonverse, pet play, hand jobs // TITLE IS A SONG/LYRIC ☑️

"What on earth are we doing here?" Something vile, suggested Thomas' head. Something wonderful, suggested his heart. He knew what he was, and did not hate himself for it, but the voice of conventional morality would nevertheless speak to him at times. He bid it be silent. "I'd call it comfort, sir," he said. "I would like that. To be a comfort to you. A friend." "And a pet?" Isolated, touch-starved, and more than a little co-dependent, Jopson and Crozier find comfort in playing a strange game. Fill for Terror Kinktober day #20: Pet.

this fic was SUCH a goddamn treat!! jopson and crozier's dynamic is delightful and complicated and painful—the fic follows all the way through canon so what starts with some very lovely and rewarding attention to a touch-starved character and the sweet blossoming of a relationship in which both jopson and crozier find comfort does at points take a delicious turn for the worse as things on the voyage go south.

📍 good boys get treats by @deathgroupie 700 words, e, jopzier, canonverse, foot jobs // TAG/TROPE YOU DON'T READ OFTEN ☑️

Francis is in rare form. Kinktober fill for ‘praise’.

okay so while praise kink IS very much very often my thing, i'm not always a foot job girlie. THAT SAID this was such an amazing portrayal of it, and it worked so well for these two. i love how deathgroupie writes their relationship and the foot kink in this is very erotic and kinky 10/10 no notes!!!

📍 girlnavy jopzier (art) by @veryvexing GIRLNAVY ☑️

truly love veryvexing's art and this piece is just so good!!!! crozier's hair!!! the wrinkles!!! jopson's arm hair!!! i couldn't stop staring at this one

📍 for the captain's table by @aboutyoutoo 1k, m, jopzier, canonverse, kneeling, alcohol // KINKTOBER ☑️

Francis likes seeing his steward on his knees. Written for The Terror Kinktober prompt 16: kneeling.

crozier can't help himself... he just has to see that boy on his knees... and i completely understand. love the way he tries to be sly about it in this i'm a sucker for that kind of stuff so this was just very fun let that old man be lecherous!!! and let jopson enjoy it!!!

📍 That's the way (into my heart, into my head, into my brain) by @nahaerya 3.9k, e, nedcontving, established relationship, threesome, ep 106 a mercy // OFFICERS/MATES ☑️

Erebus creaks and groans. He touches the wood knot high on the wall—his lucky spot—and his mind conjures images of his boys together; one of Edward kneeling in the middle of Henry’s bunk and kissing John, both flushed scarlet and against each other, both with their fingers digging into the fabric of their jackets. The second is just John with his neck exposed, marked below the collar, while Edward breathes into his shoulder, uniforms in disarray. Henry worries his lower lip with his teeth, feels his prick stirring in his trousers.

dundy domming ned and irving is everything i didn't know i needed. this was delightful and hot and had some really great george and tozer cameos, plus an ending that reminds you were are at carnivale, here, people!!

📍 master & servant by Anonymous 1k, e, jopzier, service kink, blow jobs // CANON TIMELINE ☑️

Jopson liked serving his Captain more than a man ought to. It had become perverse.

many of my weaknesses... coming in clothing, service kink, devotion... the little encouragements crozier doles out. Really love this both as smut and as a character study (don't @ me)

📍 shoulder the sky (open those eyes) by prometheanclay 1.4k, t, gen - jfj, character study, the dress // UNIFORMS/CLOTHING ☑️

Like so many awful things, it all began with a joke. A private one, nothing more than a quiet thought knocking on the proverbial door at the back of James’ head, an uninvited guest arriving impolitely late and begging for sustenance and attention. Usually, Captain James Fitzjames is not the sort of man who humours such thoughts; then again, usually, Captain James Fitzjames is no Captain at all. Perhaps, he supposes, the ice is hacking away at him much the same way his men are hacking away at the ice.

as the author says in their a/n, there can never be too much genderqueer jfj!!! this is a really lovely introspective piece where james wrestles with the strains and struggles of the expedition and his place in it, with, of course, some really great Dress Stuff woven in

📍 oasis by @diskobabe 4.2k, e, joplittle, canonverse, d/s, somnophilia, trans jopson // STEWARDS ☑️

Edward Little wants Thomas Jopson to put him on his knees and tell him what to do. Jopson needs to sleep. They work out a compromise. (Trigger warnings in the notes.)

giving thomas the sex and the rest he deserves all in one!!! really love how this is both smut and hurt/comfort, really, and it's a very sweet and very sexy scene in the middle of a part of canon that's very much draining both these poor boys!

📍 fanbind by @heliotropepajamas-books of death is a sailing ship by Maleann fic tags: 27.8k, e, fitzier, canon compliant, canon-typical violence, body horror, afterlife, panic attacks // FREE SPACE ☑️

Fic Summary: "James had died knowing that his heart, the core of his very being that no biographer would ever know, would carry on in Francis Crozier. Would be protected, cherished even, because Francis deemed him worthy of such care. Oh, how he had loved Francis then. He had been at peace with this being his last living thought. It’s his only thought now. In this undead life, his love has nowhere to go." James Fitzjames wakes up in the Afterlife. It looks strangely similar to his cabin on Erebus.

i absolutely love this fic and this is such a beautiful bind of it!! love the paper texture used and the font choices are so perfect as well (especially as an im fell lover). always delighted to see fic binds so I was so glad to stumble across this beautiful piece

📍 Spectre (art) by @archivistorage WHUMPTOBER ☑️

not technically a fill for whumptober but it whumped me so i'm counting it. i discovered em's work recently (possibly even this month?? idk time is fake) and i absolutely cannot get enough of it. this one in particular just gets me by the throat every time i open it—the style is SO perfect for this piece, francis's expression couldn't be more heartwrenching, and the way james GLOWS is just!!! rughghfkhghkfhg. yeah.

📍 My working week and my Sunday rest by @adaysgrace 5.6k, g, joplittle, canonverse, outsider pov // REC FROM ANOTHER USER ☑️

As Billy makes it to the stairs, he peers down the passage towards the Great Cabin, where Jopson stands outside, talking politely with Lieutenant Little. Jopson is tall and well built, but somehow next to the Lieutenant he looks smaller – softer. Billy mulls over the private piece of gossip he harbours about Thomas Jopson. Or, Subordinate officer's steward Billy Gibson and Lieutenant Henry Le Vesconte consider their mortality and the strange cases of Thomas Jopson and Edward Little.

found this fic in @corinnasstays' october fanwork bingo card rec post! i'm a real sucker for outsider pov—i think it can provide such a cool window into a piece and the way this author does it works so well! we get a chapter from billy's pov and a chapter from vesconte's, and both provide incredibly cool and engaging (and different!) perspectives on jopson, little, and joplittle while also providing some great insight into our pov characters. thoroughly enjoyed this one!!!

📍 Rubberband Girl by periph_ry 3.7k, m, fitzconte, modern au, introspection, not actually unrequited // AU FIC ☑️

“We’re going out tonight.” Henry ignores her; ignores the clack of her nails against the open doorway of his office; ignores the waft of her perfume; ignores the clear, expectant ring of her voice.

this is the third part of a modern au series in which transfem james gets swept up into a jopzier threesome! highly recommend the first two parts but you can absolutely read this one without them. i just read this fic this morning and ohhh my god it absolutely killed me in the best way. i love fitzconte and i'm also a sucker for some dundy angst and yearning while james pines away for francis, and this fully delivers on both. the author does say this isn't actually unrequited love, but dundy does not know that in this piece!! it gives a really beautiful and bittersweet portrayal of james and dundy's relationship with flashbacks through their 20 or so years together that just had me drooling and crying and trying to shove my face into the computer screen so. 10/10 would recommend!!!

📍 nec tamen consumebatur by @maedhrus 9k, e, littleving, unrequited, dubcon, drunk sex // OVER 3000 WORDS ☑️

Carnival was a time for pretending, after all. Fictions and follies and fey dreams. John grasped Edward’s arm and drew close. Too close. Propriety was a dirty word he shied from as he felt Edward’s breath hit against his cheek. John and Edward find each other's company during Carnival. It breaks more than it fixes.

poor irving is really put through the wringer in this one! really love how deeply it delves into irving's thoughts and mindset, which makes it all the more painfully clear that he's not going to get what he really wants or needs from ned. and the ending is just one more delightfully painful blow!

📍 anatomical venus by @deathgroupie 500 words, t, jopzier, implied/referenced rape, non-con drug use // NEW-TO-YOU AUTHOR ☑️

Jopson requires special care in the name of his recovery. Kinktober fill for 'kidnapping'.

500 words that pack a punch!! beautifully written and deliciously unsettling. really loved this one

📍 crocroft (art) by @moltenhare2 LEAVE A NICE COMMENT ☑️

i'm a sophia girlie for SURE so i'm always so glad to see her in art/fic/etc! this is such a cool piece—the color, the style, the lighting!! honestly just really love this one.

📍 Burden of Leadership by @philtrashnumberunus 4.8k, e, armitozer, hickeytozer, pilkingtozer, gangbang, canon era // MARINES ☑️

“I believe I've found a way to ease your fears, and look after your men, Sergeant Tozer.“ When Tozer starts slipping, the solution he receives from Mr. Hickey only creates more questions.

another delightful october fic that gave me a delicious mixture of smut and character insight! this piece starts off with a really cool tidbit from tozer's childhood, and in addition to the eventual gangbang and all the fun that comes along with it, we get some great insight into tozer's relationship with and view of his men as well as some lovely armitage pov. and i'm saying this as someone who hasn't quite hopped onto the armitage train! definitely surprised myself with how much I enjoyed his section.

📍 james/sophia lavender marriage (art) 1, 2, and 3 by @archivistorage PAIR/TRIO YOU ENJOY ☑️

this concept... and every SINGLE thing em has created for it.... it's everything to me. james and sophia living their BEST lavender marriage lives and francis eternally tomato-red with jealousy... that's the sAUCE!!!!! i love the way em draws these characters and the cuntiness infused into this verse and I will just never not be obsessed with these jesus christ

📍 Stinging Nettle by @orlopsexdungeon 650 words, e, hickeygibson, dirty talk, slut shaming, verbal degradation, pre-canon // CHARACTER YOU DON'T READ OFTEN ☑️

Hickey quickly finds himself outmatched. written for terror kinktober prompt four, humiliation

to my eternal shame, i have yet to become truly invested in hickey or gibson, so i rarely read fic for them. that said this one caught my eye for whatever reason and oh boy am i SO glad it did!! i'm so obsessed with their dynamic here and the turnabout it's just so so so well done and juicy and i could really hear both their voices so clearly. absolutely has piqued my interest to check this pairing out more!

📍a doctor's touch by @aboutyoutoo 900 words, e, goodhickey, wound care, masturbation // CREW/ABS/SEAMEN ☑️

After his lashing wounds have been treated, Hickey thinks about Mr Goodsir. Written for The Terror Kinktober prompt 11: flogging.

yet again i'm surprising myself (and these delightful authors are surprising me) this october! as I mentioned above, i'm really not a huge hickey girlie (in that i don't actively pursue content for him or trawl through his tag), but every so often something catches my eye., and this is absolutely another one of those cases! it's a beautiful peek into hickey's thought process with some really killer lines, and I love how the author writes his interest in and fascination with goodsir and being seen by him. fantastic piece!

📍 Inktober Day 19: Arctic (art) by @hanayoyo-art ICE & SNOW ☑️

i just think this piece is so cool!!! really love the style—i'm so weak for ink pieces and the sparseness and almost...intentional sketchiness? (i'm so sorry i'm not an Artist and i don't really have the vocabulary LOL) of it just feels so good and so right

📍 Inktober 2025 #18 Deal & #19 Arctic (art) by @saulesart ICE & SNOW ☑️

yes i'm putting another piece here for this square sue me!!! love the kind of catholic stained-glass conceit of this and the composition and hickey as a saint???? the ship in the bg??? tuunbaq?? yeah this is just a really cool piece!
