Out Of Order, Still In Line [ao3]

“Alright. So, how do you wanna do this?”
“I don't know, I didn't think that far.” Buck closed his eyes for a moment, trying to collect his thoughts, which was a task harder than he expected. “I guess, just… talk to me.”
“About what?”
Oh, god. Fuck. Okay.
They were in it now, so he might as well just…
“Tell me what to do.”
Buck half-expected Eddie to quip ‘you don't know how to jerk off?’ but instead there was a moment of pause, then:
“Okay.”
Or
When Buck finally gets to the Clinic, the long awaited release doesn’t seem to come; cue Eddie to the rescue.

Courting and marrying Sailors
Christmas and the time leading up to it are also often referred to as the festival of love. And not without reason, because many of the Sailors had to stay on land during this time because the danger of winter storms was too high. Therefore, many balls and festivals were held during this time so that these gentlemen could also go on a bride hunt. But this only applied to the officers who naturally tried to get hold of a lady from a good family with as much money as possible, as it secured their status and money in case they didn't earn any or got on their sweetheart's nerves at home on half pay.
The gallant Sailor - a Master and Commander with a lovely Lady, by Frank Dadd 1910 (x)
But the normal Sailors also held their own events and so there was also the so-called sailor stabbing, a kind of jousting tournament, but with Sailors and their specialities, in order to impress the ladies with their skills. It also often happened that the couples had known each other since childhood and then got engaged at that time. But it could take a long time in the 17th and 18th century before they were married, because in the spring they would all leave again, and if the couple was unlucky, they would stay there for a few years, so that the wedding would not take place until 7 or 9 years later. If it did take place, it was quite possible that the female relatives could find a better match during this time and then the engagement was ruined.
The Sailor and his Sweetheart, by R. F. Zogbaum 1898 (x)
And one should avoid making a mistake. It is known from the 1870s in England that a girl made a promise of eternal fidelity to her boyfriend. But because the sailor in question had forgotten her address, he was unable to contact her for over two years. When he returned to his home port, he found that she was already married and had two children. Oops -
But back to the time of balls and parties, if they spotted a lady, they wooed her, and in the wintertime it suited them well, because they were at home. Many people already had their lovetokens ready, which were made at sea as a precaution and then passed on to their sweetheart, leaving out the name for the time being and only adding it later.

Whalebone Fork and Spoon, made by a Sailor for his sweetheart: Czarina▪︎Blossom ▪︎Dearest, c. 1843 (x)
In the 19th century, people largely dispensed with a long engagement period and the couple moved in together straight away, getting married barely two weeks later so that the couple had enough time for the honeymoon.
Sailor’s Wedding, by Howard Pyle 1895 (x)
The wedding of a captain or flag officer was held in a grand, ostentatious and ceremonial manner. Often the whole town was decorated with flags and ships were moored and fired shots of joy. All family members and friends were invited to the festivities, but above all the sailor's comrades. The wedding of an ordinary seaman, on the other hand, was celebrated quite modestly and only in a small circle. Of course, it also happened that seamen regretted their decision to marry at the last moment and literally left the bride at the altar, which was a great humiliation for the bride and her family. For this reason, the fugitive groom should not dare to set foot in this place ever again, as the bride's family might want to lynch him.
So you see, the Christmas season was truly a celebration of love - whether it came to pass or not.
