Did a bit of calligraphy for Jimmy Fitz’s birthday - and what better to write than a bit of his own poetry?

Summary: Venice, 1845. Carnevale. James Fitzjames is at a private masked ball in his prettiest gown and an elaborate red wig. Where he meets a stranger with a soft brogue, who makes a very specific request.

This is for the prodigiously talented and generous @corinthes​, who gave me three dizzyingly wonderful prompts for the James Fitzjames Birthday Extravanganza. I do not deserve you.

Excerpt below the cut.

The stranger is standing precisely where James left him, half in, half out of the scant light cast by the near-extinguished torch. He is standing loosely at attention, James sees, and he wants, urgently, to have him out of that domino in which he looks so ill-at-ease. He takes a step towards him and the stranger says ‘What’s your name?’

His voice is gentle and the soft rich ‘r’ in ‘your’ gives the question power. Names have power too, thinks James, especially here in this damp and pagan place where James is being someone else, or being exclusively and unavoidably himself. He says, dropping his voice: ‘What would you like to name me?’

The man’s eyes move to James’s wig – a halo of scarlet around his head, James knows from his preparations this evening – and James sees his chest move in and out. ‘James,’ he says.

“You know,” Francis said, later that evening. “I told William that we were living as husband and wife, but we haven’t really had anything like a wedding, have we. I only started calling you Lady Crozier when we went to Portugal, because anything else would have been suspect.”

James looked up from the sketch he’d been doing, Francis in profile. “Francis… we can’t. There isn’t a church in the world that would marry us.”

James’ sight had begun to fail on their long walk toward Fort Resolution. It had started with his left eye, and, while at first it had seemed contained, by the time they were England bound aboard the Enterprise, his right eye had begun to fail as well. When they finally reached England’s shores, five long years after they sailed, James had gone completely blind.
