   Summary

   Suspecting from the get-go that his involuntary leave is a cooked-up plot to get him out of the way, Cyrus Albright chooses to spend his sabbatical in Atlasdam and sets up shop as an independent researcher, hoping to decipher the mysteries of a missing book. But a spirited young dancer arrives and convinces him to assist her as she seeks revenge against the men who killed her father.

   A somewhat canon-divergent/not-quite-an-AU combination of Cyrus's and Primrose's paths, replete with spoilers for each, plus a romance, partially inspired by film-noir plots (but in a canon Orsterra setting). Chapter 1 is probably not really rated M, but others will be.

   (I am still very much working on this!)
