Why this must be read: Now, the Serpentis fic I really want to be able to rec someday is the wonderful Pro Patria Mori, which is a gorgeous AU set at a public school in the 20s. But in the absence of an ending to that, I'm putting forward this story, which showcases Serpentis's talent for writing in the style of the period equally well. Particularly since it's something of an Agatha Christie pastiche. With Billy Boyd in the role of Hercule Poirot. And everyone else who shows up being equally well used.

Which is to say that if you haven't already read this and you like either AUs or Agatha Christie, you really ought to run right out and do so.
