Pairings – Malcolm Bright/Dani Powell, Jessica Whitly/Gil Arroyo
Summary – When his family reputation was crushed by his father, the insane multiple murderer, Malcolm Whitly changed his name and joined the army as quick as he was able. Fighting for queen and country for more than a decade which has made his mental health issues worse, he’s ready to come home to London and the family fortune, their socially outcast state, and simply rest his bones until he can figure out what comes next. That plan goes awry when the fencing exhibition his mother arranged for his homecoming introduces him to the woman who will turn his world upside down.
Author’s Notes and warnings: This is a historical Prodigal Son AU. I tried to give it some historical accuracy but didn’t do a deep dive on it (just not enough time to do it). There are some mentions of the racism in the late 1880s-1890s in regards to Dani, JT, Gil and Edrisa but I didn’t dwell on it trying to keep the light romantic feel of the story. (Also, I know JT would not have served in the same army corps with Malcolm or even Gil and doesn’t have much hope of being in the constabulary as is mentioned in the story unfortunately). I also know very little about fencing so take the fencing exhibitions with a grain of salt and forgive the mistakes.
