When a young Arthur Hastings visits an old school friend in Belgium in 1913, he expects nothing more than a pleasant holiday. The holiday turns into tragedy with the sudden death of his friend's father, Sir William Bentley, British Ambassador to Belgium. Fearing a severing of diplomatic ties between the two countries, the Belgian government begs the police to put their best man onto the case: Hercule Poirot. As the investigation progresses, Hastings finds himself drawn to the detective's brilliant mind and personality not only on a professional level but also on an increasingly personal one...
Примечания автора: My first go at writing a real 'case fic' with Poirot and Hastings. Seeing that Agatha Christie never went into detail as to how Poirot and Hastings met in Belgium before The Mysterious Affair at Styles, I decided to start writing this fic as a means of presenting my ideas on how they met. Of course, the slashy aspect of this story was never on the cards with Christie but after all, this is obviously non-canon. I have to admit that my knowledge with regard to Brussels in 1913 is somewhat limited but hopefully this won't cause too much of a problem. Also, this is my first attempt at writing a true mystery fic so please forgive my glaring obviousness at times (hopefully this will not be the case) in this respect. As always, the characters of Hercule Poirot and Arthur Hastings belong to the genius of Agatha Christie as well as David Suchet and Hugh Fraser, the definitive duo. The rest comes from my paltry imaginings. Also many, many thanks to the lovely lapin_petite over at Livejournal who unexpectedly did some fanart of Poirot and Hastings inspired by this story!
