Summary
In the museum, you see a display of correspondence from British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. One set of letters catches your attention. It seems the dragoon who wrote it was writing to a woman who had rejected his marriage proposal.
Madam,
Do not mistake this writing for a renewed suit. That campaign is, I perceive, concluded. I write now from a position of clarity, afforded by distance and the singular focus of my duties. Yet even amidst the smoke and the necessary business of this war, a persistent, inconvenient truth remains. It demands, on this rare quiet evening, to be acknowledged.Series

Summary
“Vivienne,” he warned, his throat trying to close at his words, his mouth dry. “You know I won’t be able to be as… gentle as you would imagine. I believe you know my tastes are different. What I desire is not what French novels might lead you to believe, and—”
How did one say such a thing? How did one tell the woman you wed that the pleasure you sought would come wrapped in pain?
This fic is a successor to the Greensleeves fanfic, which you might find in the same series. Vivienne Devereux accepted William Tavington's proposal and arrived to wed him in the colonies once the war was won. Her Willie turned out to be almost the same boy she used to know. Almost; and yet, a little different.
