Theme Prompt: Truth or Dare
Title: Fill Your Eye
Fandom: Fingersmith by Sarah Waters (John Vroom/Gentleman)
Rating/Warnings: R, spoilers for the novel, betrayal, infidelity, paid sex, pseudo-Victorian prose
Bonus: No
Word Count: just under 1000
Summary:
A short fix-it fic, in which the dramatic events involving John Vroom and Gentleman at the end of the book never took place. In this fic they're both still free to continue their covert liaisons, older but not much wiser.
( The squinny-faced look of the messenger boy is a promising sight as they stroll fast down the alleys. John sees that the runt has been dazzled, a common enough reaction from those who don't know Gentleman the way that he does. )
