(Pls go on AO3 the format and tag system for this fic is so much nicer) Facing a new loss in his life, Theo is isolated and ridiculed by his family. No fiance, no best friend, and barely any mother left to go around between him and his dog. It is here he is forced to consider who and what he holds dear, and if this is really worth it. Now, with no prospect of future left, he is forced to dwell on the past. Darby is a servant. Darby works for, and is friends with the duke of Tintagel. Darby has a secret. Not one kept to himself, or kept for himself. One kept for someone else. To protect them of their own doing. Because so help him, if they found out? It would eat them from the inside out. Knowing what they did could kill them. Theo/OC!! Gays :)
