Summary: What would you do for love? Would you give up your identity to be with the person you love? Would you give yourself to them, knowing that you’re wholly dependent on them? That’s what this picture story is about. Lord Snape is urged by his friend, Lord Malfoy, to find a woman to marry. By chance, he instead meets Harry, a bookshop owner, and there is an instantaneous and amorous attraction. But this is nineteenth century England, where homosexuality is forbidden and women have no rights. Conflicted, Snape returns to London, but Harry's friend, Hermione, finds him there and convinces him of a bold plan where Harry would disappear and give up his whole life so the two of them could be together. In the end, Harry gives up his rights as a man, his identity, and masquerades as a woman. After their wedding, they retreat to a country estate to live in peace.

	I want to echo Joanwilder and Shadowess. That scene with Harry weighing his decision with the dress laid out - wow. So much dramatic power there. I loved that you shone a spotlight on this point in history. (and I love the warm rich tones as well!) Well done! (Reply to this) (Thread)
