It’s already Monday in my timezone, so here’s more polar siren for you!
Crowley spent the next couple of days photographing the area around Siren Bay, as well as assisting his companions in their mapmaking and rock collecting efforts.
On October 8th, the Northern Party split in two, each team keeping one of their cameras. Commander Shadwell, along with Device, Young, and Pulsifer, would keep exploring what laid beyond the small bay. Dowling and Crowley, meanwhile, headed back towards Cape Adare with instructions to move at a slower pace and thoroughly document the coastline as they went.
This was, of course, trying on the latter’s patience, because all he wanted was to return to Ridley Beach before the Adélie penguins began arriving for their 1911–1912 breeding season. He was of the opinion that his role as the Northern Party’s zoologist should have been taking priority at a time like this, but… orders were orders.

Summary:
TL;DR: Crowley is a scientist. Aziraphale is a siren. The year is 1911, and the place is Antarctica. Also, there’s tons of kinky sex.
The real-life Terra Nova Expedition, organised by the British Royal Navy, took place between 1910 and 1913 under the leadership of Captain Scott. His main goal was to win the race to the South Pole, but scientific research was a priority as well. Six of his men, collectively known as the Northern Party, spent most of 1911 on a remote beach that would turn out to be the world’s largest Adélie penguin rookery.
In this story, Anthony J. Crowley (surgeon, zoologist, photographer) takes the place of Northern Party member George Murray Levick. I tried to stick as much as possible to the actual scientific facts and timeline of events, but some creative license did have to be taken.
For example, there was no real-life monsterfucking at any point during the Terra Nova Expedition… as far as we know.
Just a few things before I go:
This is only the first part of my polar multiverse. I summarized the other seven stories in this earlier post.
