One Last Deed, and the Hardest of All

caper_est110 words to finish the Scrooby scene, and oh my great goodness but my gut is fed up with Muses punching it! It all makes sense now - where the Curse fits in retrospectively, the Tiger's battle-fits, the wicked trick Luke used to beat the unbeatable cavalry... and the reason it worked so well...
Luke's long-planned Moment of Awesome in this chapter wasn't in his plan after all. He wasn't keeping anything from anybody (which is one bit of plotty awkwardness out of the way). It's his desperate and new-minted answer to the Curse, which otherwise has him caught coming and going. And his opponent's response remains a forced move: there's only one thing this Earl can possibly do about it...
...Oh more goodness. All those chapters back, the Big Bad ran away from the Tiger for a reason. And it wasn't the reason I thought.
The Big Bad, for a little while, is laughing at me like a wildfire.
I love it when a book comes together. Even if I hate the redrafting it sticks me with!
