Title: Things of Little Worth
Author: Brigdh
Ratings/Warnings: G
Notes: Written in Yuletide 2014, for the–alchemist. Many thanks to AlterEgon for betaing at the last minute and being very helpful and encouraging!
Summary: Ahab and Starbuck, on the homeward voyage after Ahab's first encounter with Moby Dick.
Perhaps God grants respite even off the howling, pagan Patagonian coast, or perhaps it was Starbuck’s hand, which yet lay on Ahab’s leg, the two opposing forces – the frozen fingers and the fevered thigh – having gone some way toward reaching a balance.
