In Our Bedroom After the War

Summary:

Dirk and Roxy try to figure out who their ancestors are by investigating their social media imprints and the relics they left behind.

Notes:

Hey everybody, this is Alpha!Dave<3Alpha!Rose's 2014 collab round entry. We placed 3rd overall in the collab round, with a total of 36 votes over two polls (we won the first poll.)

Artwork was done by evi/forgetful-and-forgettable on tumblr.com She is an incredible artist. Really. And great to work with. She also helped edit.

I did a lot of the writing for this- sections done by other authors will be marked.

The song title is based off a song by the band Stars that I think goes with the post-scratch Strilonde story REALLY well. You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-K05oBku10
