343The Better Man »
ALW Post-canon. Raoul is able to give his wife everything, except for the one thing she wants most. Will a desperate situation cause his old rival to reenter their lives, changing it in ways they could never have imagined? Of course, or it wouldn't be a PotO story. Passion, angst, betrayal(?), True Love, revenge, messy relationships, but also kinda funny? Slow but steady updates

She Often Spoke of You
Life continues on for Raoul and his wife, but, stalked by a figure from their past, will he ever find peace? One-shot. Short, poignant, and either deeply stupid or deadly serious - it all depends on a matter of perspective. :)
