Rating: Teen
Word Count: ~26,000 (Part 1: 8,264 words).
Notes: Victorian AU; Edward Iveson/Julia Graves, Christy Graves, Elizabeth Iveson, Harold Graves, Roderick Howe. (Some references to suicide & murder). This is my much delayed entry for this year’s Unconventional Courtship fest. It’s very long and entirely irrelevant to the main canon, and, as it happens, not even true to the original romance novel summary chosen, so please feel free to ignore! I decided to post it in the end, especially as it also fit one of my hc_bingo squares perfectly. Apologies for the ridiculous length. (With many thanks to persiflage_1 for the swift beta.)
Summary: Thanks to one indiscretion, Edward Iveson's life and reputation is in ruins, until Julia Graves comes to his rescue with a proposal of marriage. Edward can hardly turn her down, but what is it that Julia wants from him?
