It's the early 1920s, and Jean Kirschtein is a French boy in an English boarding school. Sent there by his father on strict instructions to become an upstanding young man, Jean figures it's going to be the worst winter term of his life. He wants to blend in. He has secrets. And the boys of Sawney House dormitory are not a private sort.
He didn't reckon, however, on the one boy fluent in his language happening to be the one person he finds so intriguing.

So I’ve been super busy lately and haven’t had chance to pedal my JMGE gift this year! So here it is, a 1920s boarding school AU with foreign exchange student Jean and a straight As, not quite as happy as he seems Marco :’) it was a bit of a panic to write, but I think I’m pleased with the result!
As always, comments and kudos are super appreciated, and I hope you enjoy it! I’ll get back to finishing up SFS as a priority now!
