Jim's father's untimely death draws Jim and Blair back to Jim's childhood home, the sprawling Ellison estate. Startling revelations from the past and the influence of a restless spirit await them as the Ellison Family Skeletons make their way out of the closet. This is an alternate universe story, written prior to "Remembrance", and suggests a slightly different back story for Jim, which would still conform to the canon of "His Brother's Keeper". This story is also rated NC-17, and is intended for mature audiences, primarily due to m/m content.
