“You will always be fond of me, Martin....

... I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit."

Rupert Graves has been reading Dorian Grey to me all morning (guh. Yes, eme and I'll send it.) and I'm finding a strong similarity between Dorian's Lord Henry and our Douglas. The droll, world-weary, seen-it-all sarcasm, the way he joys in corrupting young men.

I'd love to see an AU in Edwardian times, Douglas as a sinning, widowed, bisexual veteran of life perving abuot the life and mind of young dork-about-town Martin. Who is engaged to Money and trying his hardest to stay positive as he crawls into middle class.

Btw I haven't finished the book yet, so don't tell me if this won't pan out. It works FOR THE PROMPT so that's what I'm asking for!

Plz to include Dame Knapp-Shappey and her charming yet hopeless scion. And feed Gordon to a tiger in the Boer War.
