(I had promised this fic to a friend some time ago, so here it is. I hope someone else will enjoy it as well 💚)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Title: those more intimate duties

Relationships: Sean Rafferty/Arthur Guinness; Sean Rafferty/Olivia Hedges White; Sean Rafferty/Arthur Guinness/Olivia Hedges White (please note that Arthur is gay!)

Words: 5.6k

Summary:

Sean has crossed the threshold of St. Anne's estate a number of crucial times before, while the previous owner was still alive, but none of the reasons why Sir Benjamin had taken to summon him there had ever resembled the purpose for which the new master and mistress of the house require his presence in their grandiose love nest on their wedding night.

or: The wedding night sequence we should have seen on our screens if Steven Knight had the courage to go through with it instead of collectively gaslighting us.

Young Arthur Guinness, about to leave Dublin to attend Eton College, meets Sean Rafferty on the very day his father employs him to guard a formal dinner held in his honour. Neither of them knows it yet, but years later they will find themselves bound by an affection running deeper than they can afford. or: The pre-canon tale of how Arthur and Sean fall in love with each other.

The time has come and the first chapter of this fic that has been plaguing my brain for months is finally out!

I'm so excited to start this journey, which will feature beautiful art from @ryfunekori with each new update 💖

Enjoy, but please carefully read the opening notes for content warnings first.
