I should probably note one particular disclaimer at the outset. I've never actually read Spitfire Parade, so writing a fic technically set during that book might be monumentally stupid somewhat foolhardy. Especially if you take the utterly uncanonical decision that you want to put one of your characters in Wilks' squadron for a proportion of the Battle of Britain. So there may be certain details of this that don't at present work in canon, and that I'll have go back over and revise when I've read the book. *coffs*. Sorry.

Title: Smoke and Fire
Author: Calliope
Challenge prompt: 23. Home Fires
Characters: Lord Bertie Lissie, Lorrington 'Gimlet' King. (I've tried to keep it accessible to the non-Gimlet reader...)
Rating/warnings: PG / none to speak of, except maybe chronic plotlessness.
