no place in nature given
by strikerbacks
Behind them, the doorway out to the living, breathing world. Above, an archway of sorts, though squared off in a rather ugly way. People milling about on the raised walkway, passing them by with no mind. And then, right before them, a free-standing sort of banner with the blurred black and white figures of men on the march and the bold block letter proclamation South: The Race to the Pole."My God," Shackleton manages after a longer silence than he's ever enjoyed with Scott. "We're relics."

we are for each other

He thinks of Wild's steely determination on the frantic march back and can't imagine how he'll ever be lonely again.
Polar Explorer RPF+1
Continuous assiduous
by saltstreets
Frank Wild is left in command on Elephant Island. Somewhere out in the ocean, Ernest Shackleton is trying and failing to pull off some kind of miraculous rescue. This would all be difficult enough even if Wild knew what was going wrong with each successive loop, and could do more than just sit and wait and hope that 800 miles isn't too far for a poorly understood magnetic phenomenon to maintain its hold on the one man he knows who might just have a chance of making it through.

"The universe is Proteus," he declares, to no one, to himself. They are invulnerable. He does not fight losing battles. Damn if he's going to get into that habit now.

Up Crater Hill
by caput_poetatis
Before the southern journey, Shackleton and Wilson took nearly daily walks all winter to a little meteorological station they made on Crater Hill. This is a series-of-vignettes of what they got up to on these walks.

by strikerbacks
This one, he knows he has. He consciously brings it back with him, sets it up on a shelf in his study and looks at it daily, willing the exposure to dull the sharp edges of grief. It doesn't entirely work — really, it's more that it frays them like a wind-worn sail.

Sooner or later they’ll have to abandon Endurance Shatterdome, and when it happens they’ll have more Jaegers than active pilots.
