Rarest of rarefandoms...
Fandom: Anthony Hope's Ruritania books (The Prisoner of Zenda/Rupert of Hentzau/The Heart of Princess Osra - though I've used the latter for background only) with a tiny crossovery allusion to Sherlock Holmes, specifically A Scandal in Bohemia
Characters/Pairings: OFC/OFC - basically, the story is set 20 years after the events of Rupert of Hentzau, and so I have invented an entire next generation.
Rating & Warnings: Teen, for some mildly sexy parts (sexier than the books, yes, but mostly allusive or fade-to-black), and some violence (not any more graphic than the books). Warnings: major character death. Readers should also note that this involves nineteenth century European royalty, so first cousin relationships are standard (it makes me really uncomfortable calling that a warning, but I know it squicks some people, so.)
Notes: Currently at 25K and counting, but the early parts are more or less done. I'd like to get a chapter to you at a time and start to post it. If you'd like to know a bit more about the story before offering, I'm doing a 30 days meme about it on my journal at the moment, so do wander over and have a look.
