Lupin fans, welcome to a little AU I like to call the Snowmon AU!
Based off a current fixation on ice elementals and everyone’s favorite samurai >:3 I present the first chapter!
TWs: hypothermia, drowning, near death experience, descriptions of CPR, emetophobia
Trudging through the polar snow, Goemon had to admit the amount of white out here was getting vaguely annoying to look at. Lupin’s latest set of shenanigans had brought them to the Shackleton Ice Shelf, over 13,000 square miles of barren white snow and ice making up a rather small portion of Antarctica. They generally tried to avoid places this cold, except that one time with the penguins. Despite that general avoidance, here they were.
“Remind me why the fuck we’re out here again? I’m freezin’ my ass off!” Jigen huffed, pulling his thick coat firmly around himself.
“I told you already!” Lupin called back, smiling as he looked the tattered piece of paper in his gloved hands over for the umpteenth time.
Goemon remembered the exact conversation they had had pertaining to this expedition from several weeks ago.
“Who-?” Jigen looked out at the thief from under his hat, pausing stirring their dinner.
“Douglas Mawson. He was a geologist. Helped with the Antarctic explorations? Seriously?” Lupin raised an eyebrow as he pouted. “Damn, okay. Basically-“
“Yeah, yeah, discovered Antarctica or whatever, your point?” Jigen waved his hand, turning back to the food.
“Rude.” Lupin huffed, flipping down beside the samurai on the sofa. “He didn’t discover it. He explored it. What he actually discovered is loads better!”
“So what did he discover?”
“I’m so glad you asked, Goemon!” Lupin smiled broadly, tossing a tattered paper onto the coffee table. “The worlds largest diamond to date!”
“Diamond? This isn’t for Fujiko, is it?” Jigen frowned, turning the burner off as he walked over skeptically. “If it is, I’m out.”
“No, no, no. This is for us.” Lupin shook his head. “A diamond this big? I could chip a piece off for her and keep the rest for us and we would barely notice it’s absence! It’s huge!”
“How big exactly?”
“Supposedly, it’s over six inches and over 7,000 carats.” Lupin smirked, looking the map over carefully. “About halfway into the Shackleton Ice Shelf in a crevasse.”
“And why exactly did this Mawson guy just leave a find like that sitting in the ice for any petty thief with a plane to come take?” Jigen cocked an eyebrow and crossed his arms.
“It was the early 1900s. They didn’t bring enough necessary technology to get to it since it was pretty deep down and Mawson never made it back to retrieve it. He marked it on this map which I managed to snatch from a successor.” Lupin snickered. “So now all we have to do is get to Antarctica and we’ll be the proud owners of an extremely valuable diamond.”
“Here! I found the crevasse!” Lupin called, waving them over frantically. “Goemon, think you can reach it?”
“Step back.” Goemon waved them back, taking stance before unsheathing Zantetsuken.
In one fluid motion, metal against ice sung through the air as the samurai traveled about seven foot down into the crevasse. Landing at the bottom, he sheathed his sword once again before looking around. It seemed that the crevasse was an opening to a smaller cavern. He could see the diamond sticking out of the ice, deep blue in hue and, indeed, extremely large. Stepping up to the stone, Goemon glanced back at the light pouring in from above.
“You’ve got it, Goemon! Just grab it and jump back out, okay?” Lupin called down cheerily. Goemon could practically feel the excitement in his tone.
“Okay!” He called back, turning back as he grabbed onto the gem.
A blinding flash of light and a large crash met the samurai before everything went black.
~~~~~~~
Lupin stumbled and fell back as the ice below him shook and powered snow was blown out of the crevasse. Glancing over at Jigen who was flat on his ass and just as shocked, Lupin could feel the blood drain from his face.
Something had just exploded.
Body moving before he even thought about it, Lupin flung himself to the edge of the crevasse and looked in frantically. Was Goemon injured? Had the crevasse caved in on him? What the hell had even exploded???
Goemon wasn’t there. The ice at the bottom had shattered and broken through to the ocean below.
He heard himself screaming before he realized he was actually the one screaming, sliding down as quickly as he could as he tried to find any trace of the samurai, any signal he was there and okay. Zantetsuken was lodged between two rough pieces of ice, it’s master now where to be seen. It made Lupin more panicked than anything else.
“Lupin-!” Jigen shouted, sliding down beside him quickly as he looked around frantically. “Where is he?!”
“I don’t know, I don’t-! Goemon?! GOEMON?!” Lupin screamed, searching the clear water for any sort of sign.
Blue. It was his kimono. Under the surface of the water.
“NO-!” Lupin screamed, voice cracking as he lunged for the water.
“No, don’t-!” Jigen yelped, grabbing him around the middle as he slipped down the ice a bit. “You can’t help him if you’re in shock from the cold!”
“Shit, shit, shit, shit!” Lupin cried, hands shaking as he shot the clip from his watch and latched it around the samurais ankle before he pulled him in quickly.
“Come on, come on!” Jigen grabbed the back of Lupin’s jacket and Zantetsuken, hauling both back out of the crevasse.
Lupin pulled Goemon up, laying the soaked samurai on the snow as his hands shook. His lips were blue. He wasn’t moving, wasn’t breathing. God, he wasn’t breathing!
“Lupin! Lupin, do somethin’!” Jigen looked at him anxiously, unsure of what to do.
“I-I-“ Lupin fumbled, hands shaking before he put them on the samurais chest.
Pump. He had to pump his chest. Make his heart beat.
Pumping his chest, Lupin could feel, could hear, Goemon’s ribs crack and crunch under his hands. Blowing air into his lungs before he pressed his ear to the samurais freezing chest, Lupin prayed for a heartbeat, a sound, anything. And then he began again. Counting the compressions, listening for breaths or a heartbeat, going all over again. He didn’t know how long he went for, frantically begging Goemon to open his eyes in between.
And suddenly the samurais body jerked and water gushed from his mouth as he tried to draw in a breath. Lupin rolled him onto his side as he gagged and choked, retching onto the ice as the thief held his hair back and nearly cried from relief.
“Goemon! Oh, thank god!” Lupin rubbed his back, frowning at the large amounts of water he was spitting up. “Easy, bud.”
“Christ…” Jigen frowned, body relaxing slightly. “I thought…”
“I know.” Lupin frowned. He didn’t want to finish that thought. “Goemon..?” He looked him over anxiously.
Goemon slumped against him, eyes lidded as he panted and shivered. Frost was gathering on his hair and on his clothes as they began to freeze over from the cold. Lupin could hear the residual fluid rattling in his lungs as he breathed. He pulled the samurai close to his body as he looked back at Jigen anxiously.
“We need to get back to the plane.” Lupin looked back at Jigen quickly. “Help me with him.”
“Fuck, on it.” Jigen quickly wrapped an arm around Goemon’s torso as he helped Lupin get him up. “Shit, he’s freezin’!”
“Just hurry!” Lupin urged anxiously, going at a half run with Jigen toward the plane.
Jigen threw the door open, helping Lupin bring Goemon inside. Leaving the thief to handle things, he jumped into the pilots seat. He needed to be able to get them to their hideout in Perth as quickly as he could make the plane go. He had to cut a nine hour flight down to as soon as possible for Goemon’s sake.
“Easy, bud, easy. I’m right here.” Lupin assured, helping Goemon out of his soaked coat and kimono until he was completely undressed.
“L-Lu-“ Goemon choked out, clinging onto his arm as he doubled over and retched up more water.
“I’m right here.” Lupin frowned, sitting him down on the bench as he grabbed some blankets as he wrapped them around him. “I’m right here.”
Undressing down to his underwear, Lupin pulled Goemon in close to his chest as he wrapped all the blankets around them tightly. Taking Goemon’s freezing hands in his own, Lupin tried his best to keep them warm. He knew he couldn’t massage him…making him too warm too fast would be dangerous, but he had to stave off frostbite. He could feel the samurais breathing, slow, wheezy, rattling. He was shaking so badly..teeth chattering as he shook. His body was devoid of any warmth, and Lupin was worried his heart would stop again.
“D-Di-Diam-mond-“ Goemon wheezed through shivers, hazily gazing toward Lupin.
The thief could feel his heart clench in guilt. Goemon just nearly left them for good and he was worrying about that damn diamond? Biting his lip hard, Lupin pulled him in closer as he shook his head. Diamonds could be replaced..Goemon couldn’t be. He spent so much time seeing Goemon as an unstoppable force…but he wasn’t. He was just a guy who was way too hard on himself and maybe they were just as hard on him too.
“It’s okay, Goe. Don’t worry about the diamond.” Lupin carefully tried to dry him off with the blankets. “Just save your energy.”

I'm nearly 150 pages into Worst Journey and Priestly keeps showing up and he is telling me so many interesting things but I'm still not sure what his Job is on this expedition all Cherry's told me is that he A) wrote a book and B) served with Shackleton and I have discerned that he Takes Photographs which is Important!!! But I am wondering if he is also perhaps. A geologist or something? PLEASE HELP.
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT SWEET BABY RAY
Tumblr media
this stylish dude began his polar career when he was chosen to go on shackleton's nimrod expedition in 1907. he was a geology student at bristol university at the time, only two years into his degree at age 20 and without any qualifications to speak of. shackleton asked him two questions in the interview (“Would you know gold if you saw it?” “Can you play a musical instrument?”) and then he was hired!
he mainly was like... the Young Man of the expedition (alongside brocklehurst who was his age but brocklehurst's role was the Rich Kid) ... the most notable incident was when he slept outside a tent during a blizzard on mount erebus (bc there wasn't room for him inside 😭), got pushed down the hill by the wind in his sleeping bag and nearly died. but he was ok!!! didn't even lose any toes!!! unlike that loser PHIL
Tumblr media
(bb priestley on nimrod. early in his baldness journey)
there were two other qualified geologists brought along on the expedition, Edgeworth David and Douglas Mawson, who he learned a lot from, and after the expedition he spent time in Sydney cataloguing and studying the Antarctic samples underneath Professor David. this led to him getting picked right back up by Scott again when one of the Terra Nova's geologists dropped out due to tuberculosis and he asked David who he should take instead.
he wasn't part of the main cape evans party on scott's expedition but was instead the geologist for the Eastern Party, which became the Northern Party and ended up having a ludicrously bad time, trapped in a tiny ice cave for six months. (for more about that check out The Longest Winter!!)
but they rescued their own asses and ended up all getting out OK. while waiting to get picked up by the ship, priestley and debenham hung out at shackleton's cape royds hut (where priestley had lived back in the day) and sketched out the plans for what would eventually become the SPRI!!!
after the expedition, all the scientists went home to england and hung out at priestley's family home in tewkesbury while working on their scientific results. this had the hilarious consequence of two of his sisters getting married to his expedition friends (Doris to Griffith Taylor and Edith to Charles Wright). and deb missed out somehow... tough luck bro.......
Tumblr media
(baldness journey well advanced. he is transforming into mark gatiss)
aaaand after that a lot of stuff happened.. like the war.... he got a degree in agriculture (?) then helped deb and wordie found the SPRI, and eventually became a career university administrator. he was very active in lecturing about the antarctic throughout his whole life! and even went back as a tour guide for prince philip in the 50s lmao
in conclusion: priestley you have to stop. you smoke too tough. your swag too different. your bitch is too bad. they'll kill you

Letters from Watson (the Sherlock Holmes book-club Substack) started reading the short story "The Stockbroker's Clerk" today, and the titular clerk is a young cockney who uses a fair amount of (Doyle's approximation of) then-current slang, so I wrote up some approximations in the LfW discord (which is a very fun place). @jabbage asked if I was going to put the information on Tumblr for reference, so I guess here it is? Cleaned up a little bit and with help from other people in the discord.
* St Vitus's dance: A disease that makes you twitchy and shaky. It was a general term for conditions like Parkinson's or the twitching that can be a side effect of rheumatic fever.
* Cockney: The technical definition is a Londoner born within the radius where you can hear the bells of St Mary le Bow, "within the sound of Bow Bells" for short. The implication is that Mr Hall Pycroft, our stockbroker's clerk, comes from a lower or working class, and the stereotype would be that he's somewhat irreverent and not very bright, although ACD takes care to give us a little essay about how we should actually consider him hard-working and professional.
* Outré: French for outlandish or surprising. Holmes really likes this word, so we've probably discussed it before.
* Lost my crib: We've heard "crib" as meaning a bank or business before, in The Red-Headed League, when John Clay would "crack a crib". Pycroft is using it to mean job, with an implication that it's what we might now call a cubicle job, done at a desk in narrow indoor quarters.
* Soft Johnnie: A soft touch or soft Johnnie is someone who is easily scammed, often in reference to being an unquestioning mark for a con artist.
* Billet: In this context, a job. StephenHunterUK in the Discord mentioned it's likely from the French word for "ticket".
* Were let in: Were damaged or injured. I'm not sure of the etymology.
* Venezuelan loan: StephenHunterUK pointed out there was a Venezuelan sovereign debt default in 1892. Stockbroker's Clerk was published in March 1893, so it would have been topical at that time, but of course it has to take place not later than 1889, so this reference screws up the chronology even more than it already was. At any rate, the implication is that Mr Pycroft's old employer made a bad investment in Venezuelan securities and had to close down.
* Came a nasty cropper: This can mean anything from falling downstairs to having to shut up shop, but often indicates either death or something similarly final.
* Ripping good: Very good. Slang term Doyle is using to make Mr Pycroft sound less formal, more cockney and enthusiastic, also possibly a bit like a schoolboy.
* The smash: When the old job was ruined and had to close. I usually hear this in reference to investments or stock market crashes.
* On the same lay: Looking for the same type of work. Can also be criminal slang meaning people who work at the same type of crime, such as pickpockets.
* E.C.: StephenHunterUK provided the information that this is the postcode for the "City of London" area -- not the London metro area, but the one-square-mile area in downtown London known as the City, mostly associated with banking and law work. Hall Pycroft is saying that he's not sure how familiar Holmes and Watson are with the City of London area.
* It was my innings: Cricket reference. Means that Mr Pycroft feels he has had a lucky win.
* The screw was a pound a week rise: The pay was a pound a week more than Mr Pycroft was making at his previous job, so £4 a week or roughly £200 a year. You can see that the sketchy pottery company's offer of £500 a year more than doubles what he'd make at the reliable firm Mawson's.
* In diggings: Renting a room.
* A touch of the sheeny about his nose: A "Sheeny" is a derogatory term for an ethnically Jewish person, especially male. Pycroft is saying that Pinner had a somewhat hooked nose. The stereotype is also that Pinner might be either very financially shrewd or a con artist. (I don't know if this phrase made it into the warnings document.)
* A little sporting flutter: A bet.
* The mentions of Brussels (in Belgium, north of France) and San Remo (in Italy, southeast of France) are implying that the Franco-Midland pottery company is a big deal, with offices all across France and spilling out the corners.
* In the swim: In the thick of things.
* Deal chairs: Cheap wooden chairs. Geoharee in the Discord brought up that "deal" here refers to pine wood specifically -- pine is very soft, easily dented and stained, and is a fast-growing tree, so it was used for cheap low-quality furniture that wasn't intended to be long-lasting or durable, the sort of furniture we'd make out of fiberboard these days.
* Very badly stuffed with gold: Pinner has a badly-done gold filling in one tooth.

Crypto-Linked Stocks Rise as Bitcoin Gains, Analysts Remain Bullish
Tumblr media
Marks of a bullish trend were seen in crypto-linked stocks on Friday as the price of Bitcoin rose by more than 3% in the last 24 hours. The stocks that made the most gains were Bitcoin mining companies, which are more likely to be influenced by fluctuations in Bitcoin's price. Numerous stocks in this sector jumped between 5% and 15%, with Cipher Mining, Mawson, Core Scientific, Sphere 3D, TeraWulf, Bitfarms, Marathon Digital, and Hut 8 being the most notable examples. Hut 8, in particular, suffered from a significant blow earlier in the week after becoming a target of a short seller.
Other crypto-related stocks, including cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and enterprise software firm MicroStrategy, also experienced increases of 3% to 5% on Friday. MicroStrategy, which has long been regarded as a proxy for Bitcoin's price, revealed that it holds around 189,000 Bitcoins. Coinbase, on the other hand, encountered fluctuations in its stock price due to actions taken by Wall Street analysts. JPMorgan initially gave Coinbase an "underweight" rating earlier in the week, but the stock was then upgraded to "outperform" by Oppenheimer due to strong company fundamentals and competent management.
The main reason behind this week's sell-off was likely traders treating the approval of a Bitcoin ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) as a "sell the news" event. As a result, funds were withdrawn from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC). The slow inflow of funds into the newly approved ETFs may have further intensified the pressure, as it likely dampened the hype built up prior to the ETF approval. Additionally, FTX's bankruptcy estate selling 22 million GBTC shares heightened the sell-off. However, some analysts believe that the post-ETF-approval drop may only be a short-term phenomenon and that the macro environment and the US election cycle will be supportive in the long run.

The Heysen trail - Parachilna to Adelaide July August September 2023.
21. Curnow's Hut to Spalding
The walk from Curnow's to Spalding is just lovely - early morning, clear skies and very lush and productive farming lands. It was a joy to walk it and was one of the nicer walks in this flat farming region.
I arrived at Spalding at about 1500, and checked in to the Spalding Hotel. The pub has been recently purchased by Fletch and Angie, and is under renovation. They are great hosts, the room was fantastic, and they opened the pub for me and other travelers on the Heysen and Mawson trails for beers and dinner. Great food and great company.
As usual, I did my washing, picked up my resupply package and bought a few small perishable items from the general store. Because I was still ahead of schedule, I spent an extra day at Spalding; bacon and eggs at the General Store, a walk around this really interesting little town, reading my book in the sun and just doing nothing (the first time for that in a very long time).
It was also great to meet and talk to another through hiker, Victor, and two Mawson Trail cyclists, Therese and Mark. As usual, really nice people who were enjoying their experiences on the trails.
Once again, I departed the next morning with a pack overloaded with food. I am getting hungrier as I travel and that means buying more food, and luckily eating it just as quickly.
