Fics like Chrysalides

It began softly, slowly, gently, like a moth emerging from a cocoon. The friendship that had come to define Jack’s career, his life, became what sustained it. The presence of Stephen in his cabin at dusk until he was near sleep was something he had come to treasure in a part of his heart he thought too shallow to accept such devotion. He found himself depending on the physician for advice, comfort, for companionship on their long voyages. The steady contact they shared became a necessity, and he loved it more than he had with any other living creature. --- After Stephen's treatment at the hands of French intelligence, Jack comes to the realisation of just how much he needs and loves his friend.
