Summary
The year is 1920, and the world is just now beginning to recover from the devastating aftermath of the Great War. Castiel Milton considers himself fortunate that he has a life ahead of him that is not tormented by such things, a promising career as a writer, and the prospect of beginning a family with Meg Masters; but all of this is swept away when he meets Dean Winchester.
The reclusive, traumatized war hero sends Castiel's picket-fence life spinning off into an unknown almost instantly. The year is 1920, the world is a broken and fragile place, and there is simply no room for a love breaking every moral taboo ever set in place.
But they can try. -

Summary
In the beginning, Harold Finch offers John Reese the 'chance to be there in time'....what if he meant that literally?
Thanks to some wonderful photomanips of Finch & Reese made for me as part of an LJ gift exchange, this idea for 'PoI' set in Victorian England has been rattling around in my brain for some time.
The fact that it has finally forced its way out of my psyche and begun being set to word processor is due to kmmerc's wonderful historical works inspiring me. Kmmerc, thank you! Hopefully it will fly and if not, at least I will have exorcised a plot-bunny demon and maybe Sir Hareington will leave me alone for awhile.
P.S.--Sorry if Reese’s cockney dialect sounds a bit contrived. I like writing phonetically when I do ‘accents’. I apologize if it becomes irritating to decipher.
