   Summary

   Jonathan Pine knows Richard Onslow Roper well, enough to understand what comes next - how family ties will not save Teddy, but hang him. The rope of his blood has always been around his neck, a noose or a collar. Never the heir - the prodigal son - Teddy is nothing more than a dog to his father, a creature valued for his loyalty and the sharpness of his teeth; he will not survive the consequences of biting his master’s hand.

   OR: A fix-it fic to save Teddy Dos Santos in more ways than one.
