Verse: Chess
Pairing: Florence/Freddie
Time Frame: Post Chess
Plot: The year is 1981, one year since Anatoly abandoned Florence in Bangkok, and two since Florence left Freddie in Merano. Freddie is in a serious car accident, slipping into a coma for months on end, and Florence returns to America to be at his bed side. When he finally wakes up, serious brain injuries cause him to have to relearn the simplest things, sitting up his own, dressing up, etc etc, but it also reveals a softer, sweeter side of Fredrick Trumper to his Hungarian born personal assistant Florence. During the course of his recovery, his stubborn, arrogant personality starts to slowly return. Will he realize he needs to change before he loses Florence again?
