Summary:
An origin story of Ailsa Travers and Victor Rookwood, of a sort. At least mostly written from the perspective of Ailsa. How did Ailsa join the Ashwinders? How did the friendship between the two form? How did the Rookwood Senior meet his end, and Victor gain his role as the leader of the Rookwood gang? And the most important question of them all, why the top hat?
I´ve written Ailsa to be a sister of Aesop Sharp, as I had the thought, while writing "The Three Options of a Harlot" with Victor Rookwood and OFC . I just thought their first names, Ailsa and Aesop, sound like a pair of siblings, both have brown hair... And it´s not stated in the Harry Potter Wiki, whether Travers is Ailsa´s maiden name, or not, so...
The eventual smut will be about Ailsa and a male OC, not about Rookwood this time.
This story will have some links to my mentioned fic, but since I don´t plan to write this all the way to the Hogwarts Legacy timeline, you don´t need to worry about VR dying.
