Title: Expediency Would Be A False Report (The Curves Of Your Lips Rewrites History)

Series: Honor Harrington Series - David Weber
Character/Pairing: Eloise Pritchart, pre-Javier Giscard/Eloise Pritchart

She's recreated herself over and over again, rewriting herself with a smile on her lips and a curse on the tip of her tongue. From prole to political activist ... activist to guerrilla fighter ... guerrilla to triumphant revolutionary ... revolutionary to people's commissioner ... what's one more rewrite?
The first step will be to keep Javier Giscard alive. He's among the best of the officers that the Republic of Haven has left and even Saint Just admitted that when he gave him to her - even as he mentioned his concerns about the man's former mentor in the next breath. She holds his life in her hands, and perhaps ... she's falling in love with him already. He's brilliant and a gentlemen, but barely more fond of the new system than he was of the old one. Her reports to Saint Just are already beginning to skew themselves in his favor, because she's already decided that she won't be the one to give him up for a lack of revolutionary ardour.
And technically, technically, that means she's already begun her latest rewrite. Which means she might as well take the next step and then the third and the fourth ... and if she was truly lucky, this wouldn't end up with either of them being shot.
