Title: Rumors of War
Warnings: Slash
Series: Part of the AU that began with Resurrection. The series (with links) is
Resurrection,
Tools of the Trade,
Slave to Fashion,
Trouble in the Making,
Out on the Town,
Weapons of Choice,
Myths, Legends and Lies,
Lessons in Deportment,
Ties to Bind,
The Shopping Expedition,
Dangerous Games,
Rude Awakenings,
All Things Mortal,
In Twilight's Kingdom, and this one. To make sense, the stories should be read in order.
Notes: It's the longest chapter yet (it qualifies for novella status on its own), so hopefully that makes up somewhat for the wait. Fair warning, though: Anyone who asks for "more" in the comments risks me throwing something at them. Flattering as it is, just don't do that right now.
Thanks to
starry_diadem for suggesting the use of Cheltenham Ladies' College. I don't know much more about the school than what I saw on its website, and no offense is meant by my using the name for my own crack'ed purposes. Thanks also to
darklyscarlett for her comments and some inspired names and
sasha_b for pre-reading.
This starts up directly after
Twilight's Kingdom; it has been a while, so if you don't remember where we left off, you might want to refresh your recollection.
