    Summary

    Ignis Aurum Probat tr. "Fire Tempers Gold"

    By popular demand to write more Girodelle/Oscar fics, this is the sequel to the two-part fic "I Have No Lover Upon This Earth". It's not strictly necessary to read it to understand this work, but it will give a good amount of character background and characterisation.

    After Oscar and Girodelle mutually decide to break off their intended marriage to one another, General de Jarjayes is furious, instead demanding that Oscar marry Duke de Guéméné, the same duke Oscar had defeated in a duel a few years prior. Out of desperation Oscar chooses instead to marry Girodelle, as he is a man she feels she can trust, as opposed to the cold hearted duke. The two of them will now have to learn how to navigate domestic life together in their unique position, all while André keeps his promise to his childhood friend and follows her wherever she goes - even to the Girodelle household.

    Please be aware that this will be a slow burn. The good news is that it doesn't matter if you ship Oscar/Girodelle or Oscar/André, or both, as there will be content for both in this fic. Enjoy!
