Title: "Fiddler's Green"
Rating: 12
Characters: Jack/Stephen, Jack/Sophie, Heneage Dundas, Killick
Summary: “Which goes first?” #2: Stephen dies before Jack.
Author's Note: This is the long-promised follow up to
The Ash Grove, in which Jack is the first one of our boys to die. Possibly against popular opinion, I have always thought that Jack would deal worse with Stephen's death than Stephen would with his. Completed very much for
esteven.
WARNING: Major character death(s).
“Wrap me up in me oilskin and blankets
No more on the docks I’ll be seen
Just tell me old shipmates, I’m taking a trip mates
And I’ll see you one day on Fiddler’s Green.”
- ‘Fiddler’s Green’, Trad.
