Title: And If My Love Had Never Let Me Go 3/15
Fandom: BtVS
Prompt: 400 - Mahogany
Warnings: None
Rating: PG
Summary: Trekker wrote a series called In Another Life where Rupert went back to the Council but never broke up with Ethan. In the chapter “The Dark Age, Postscript”, Ethan is drawn into a universe where his and Rupert's relationship had ended. It was such a fascinating idea I couldn't help but play with it. This is a remix of that chapter.
Note: The story shifts between the two verses but headers are included to orient the reader.
Note: It's easier to read in AO3. LJ messes up my paragraphs.
Note: Aaargh, and now I'm kicking myself for not describing an in-house music warfare between Ethan and Beth where she would play Diana Ross' Theme from Mahogany just to annoy him. On the other hand, Beth is a very minor character and I really should be focusing on Rupert and Ethan's relationship. I would have just loved to work the song into the story.
