Summary
Second Officer Lightoller brushed with death and unlucky times more than he can count. Now all he knows is duty and sea and has no time for over enthusiastic first class apprentices.
Evelyn Carlisle is a spirited ship designer's daughter and the first female navigation apprentice on the White Star Liner.Unfortunately what stands in her way is her superior officer, sharp tongued and aloof.
Lightoller is disciplined, distant, and far too proper for the likes of her—or so she believes.
He wasn't expecting an apprentice. And a Carlisle girl at that.
As Titanic sails, Evelyn finds herself navigating more than stars and charts but also he man made of steady hands, storm-weathered resolve, and a heart he’s never let anyone close enough to see.
And when the night turns fateful, when the sea steals its due and the Swan of the North cuts depper, they finds themselves closer and closer where the stars align.
A story of crossings and collisions, of two souls finding their meridian.

Josephine Lawrence, a twenty-two-year-old upper-class woman from New York, has a disturbing dream the night before she is set to sail home from England on the Titanic. It involves tragedy and love- the love of someone who is not her fiancé, Frederick Farring. Strange surprises ensue as she meets an officer on the ship that bears a striking resemblance to a person in her dream, and she finds herself pulling further and further away from her upper crust husband-to-be and the life she is accustomed to. However, as everyone knows, tragedy strikes just days into the Titanic's voyage, and Josephine- among other passengers- discovers something positively haunting about the doomed ocean liner and the seas below her.

Olivia Lovett was only here to help her favorite uncle find a diamond necklace and work on her doctoral thesis in peace.

Like it or not, she was stuck with William Murdoch.

A simple four-word question: what if Murdoch lived?
(Reading the prologue, i.e. the previous fic in this series, is not required, but it would give context to the Lights/Murdoch situation. Also, it's some nice fluff before the tragedy...)
