https://archiveofourown.org/works/83918716/chapters/221230311 Britain, 2010. The Conservatives won the majority for the first time in over ten years. Their leader resigned only days later, in his place they elected a man who would tear the country apart. Britain, 2011. Tom Scott, a journalist arrested for the murder of his friend and co-worker Yusuf Khan, escaped one year into his life sentence. He was set on a war path against everyone who had ever wronged him, including the tyrant at the head of the government. Matt Gray was desperate to make things right with their friends, especially when it felt like the whole world was crashing down around them. They missed uni, and they missed Tom, and Gary, and Chris. The more things changed, the more the schism in their seemingly unbreakable bond grew. But as a series of morbid dominoes fell, their friend group was dragged back together, and soon they were facing down something far, far worse.
