Why this must be read:
In The Duchess and the Devil, Archie tells Horatio he recognizes Kitty from Drury Lane. Archie's misspent youth hanging around the theatre has become a favorite source of speculation among fic writers.
widget285 takes it one step further, imaging an AU in which Archie never joined the navy, instead entering into the theatre world as an actor and aspiring writer. Into his life comes Kitty Cobham, the Incomparable and they forge an alliance, she as his muse, he as her protege.
widget285's Kitty is strong, complicated and vibrantly real, a woman come into her own with age, confident in her abilities. The interaction between Kitty and Archie is great and the glimpse of Archie as might have been is perfect.
