“I didn’t know where else to go.” [...] “Tommy.” A shocked gasp, a question unasked. Sergeant Tozer, brow pinched with worry, and golden from the slight glow of candlelight, looks him up and down before he opens de whitewashed door further, a gust of hot air caressing his cheek like a stray ray of sun. “G’wed, lad, you’ll freeze to death out there!”

 A year in the life of Thomas Armitage after he moved to a cottage in the South of England on the early days of spring 1850.

Interesting things about the Cold Boys' families

I thought the Terror enjoyers might find some of this neat and/or horribly depressing. I only did genealogy research on Gore, Tozer, Leys, and Armitage, the rest are thanks to a collaborative effort on RtFE.

1. Graham Gore's neice and nephew got together and had 3 kids. The Gores were one of the first Australian settlers, so, uh... Maybe there's not many other folk around? Either way, it's real awkward.

2. The Armitage family has a strong naval tradition; amongst the many, many Armitages who were in the navy, his grandson died at sea while serving in Gibraltar. Poor guy.

3. William Gibson's father is apparently literally named Steward. Talk about nominative determinism.

4. Henry Collins' father, Henry Sr, was forcibly confined against his will multiple times at mental asylums; he claimed that his institutionalization was a ploy his family made to cut him out of Henry Jr.'s inheritence.

5. The whole Cornelius Hickey debacle gets worse as someone recently found a newspaper clipping listing his father as "Denis Hickey," and another as "Mr. Hickie." Aside from the spelling variations, none of the 3 Cornelius Hickeys that could've been him (baptized in Limerick at around the same time) had a father named Denis, meaning we now have a 4th potential candidate. Oddly in-character

6. The last of the Des Voeux baronets (A title somewhere between "Knight" and "Baron," basically) died in ww2.

7. One of Solomon Tozer's massive, massive amount of siblings is Charlie Wilson (not his birth name,) an early transgender figure who ran away from an abusive marriage and proceeded to become a semi-successful painter who racked up a decent amount of girlfriends (and arrests!) over the years. Good for him!

Chapters: 1/2 Fandom: The Terror (TV 2018) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Thomas Armitage/Solomon Tozer Characters: Thomas Armitage, Solomon Tozer, Harry D. S. Goodsir, Lady Silence | Silna (The Terror), Henry "Harry" Peglar Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Post-Apocalypse, Permawinter Post-Apocalypse, Slow Burn, Trans Male Character, Horror, the inherent homoeroticism of sharing a smoke, Solomon Tozer's banging mixtape, Internalized Transphobia, Other Additional Tags to Be Added Series: Part 2 of until the ice begins to thaw (A permawinter post-apocalyptic AU) Summary:

Tommy remembers the lads back home being interested, girls too, feeling the pull of that charisma every time a small circle gathered around Sol after dinner to hear him talk about the snow and the wild gangs and wilder creatures that could be found outside. Tommy remembers those nights, waiting in the wings, hearing his stories, feeling the pull of open air again before he felt the pull of the man himself.

After running away from an overcrowded London shelter in search of his mother and a taste of what lies on the surface of a frozen world, Tommy Armitage is forced to face two realities: One, that the world outside has changed beyond anything he knew before, and two, that the man he has been looking up to all these months has a lot more going on than he had ever given him credit for.

A bit that absolutely makes me melt AND hurt is:

During carnivale, Tommy is finishing eating something and wiping his hands - they're empty, he's not holding anything.

Meanwhile, Tozer has a spoon. He seems to be blowing on it. I was always like "yeah, he's eating something" and didn't really pay attention, since he's putting it to his mouth.

But in the next shot Tommy has the spoon and is giving whatever it is to Heather.

TOZER WAS MAKING SURE WHATEVER WAS ON THAT SPOON WAS COLD ENOUGH, HE WAS BLOWING ON IT AND PUTTING IT TO HIS LIPS TO MAKE SURE IT'S COLD ENOUGH IM GONNA CRY
