When I Was One-and-Twenty, Chapter One.

[woe-in-a-hoodie.livejournal.com]

So, I have finally started writing in this fandom again. I got stuck in a rut with the Sanguine Cycle (which, by the way, I still intend to finish eventually)... so I've decided to try something new.

Title: When I Was One-and-Twenty
Author: Han
Rating: PG-13 for language.
Warnings: Lightly implied slashy dandy twincest. ^_^
Summary: Claude and Eustace, through various criminal means, find themselves in Market Snodsbury, Glos. They decide to visit Bertie, who (along with his wife of two months, Kitty) is now the owner of Brinkley Court, the recently departed Aunt Dahlia having left the estate to Bertie in her will. Bertie, who's grown wise to the fact that his family tends to manipulate him, insists that the twins earn their keep.
Notes: It will help considerably to have read mellifluous_ink's story, Bertie and the Kitten (the link goes to chapter one). You won't be completely lost if you haven't read it, but don't be all shocked at the realization that Bertie is married in the fic below--happily married, and doesn't want to get out of it.
Teaser Quote: ‘Will you put us up?’ Eustace asked cheerfully, sitting up and lighting a cigarette.
‘Yes,’ said Bertie, who had toughened up where being used was concerned, since his marriage to Kitty, ‘but on one condition.’
‘We won’t nick your stuff, Bertie,’ Claude assured him. ‘Well, if we do, we’ll put it back straightaway.’
‘When we’re done with it.’
‘Right.’
