Link: Revolution - first two chapters on AO3 (It's going to be at least 6 chapters - I will do my best to post weekly)

Some introductory musings: I was an insufferable know-it-all when I was at school. Rarely did I break the rules and even more rarely did I get caught. Teachers just seemed to assume I had permission to be places I shouldn't have been. But there was one occasion when I earned a detention after school. Since I lived nearly four miles walk away and the weather was awful, a teacher drove me home afterward. During the drive, music was playing, and a song came on that really affected me. It was actually three tracks that merged together to tell a story. I was fascinated by it - the way the music illustrated the story, the way three very different songs were actually one thing. And the ending was so emotional! I spent the next two years trying to track down that song. When I finally worked up the courage to ask the teacher in question about it, he couldn't remember the track. My only clue was the singer's voice - it sounded like Chris de Burgh. This was around the time you couldn't turn on a TV or radio without hearing Lady in Red. It was also pre-internet so there was no easy way to track down an artist's back-catalogue. I basically checked Chris de Burgh albums every time I was in a music store but I wasn't even certain it was him. Eventually I found an old album of his I'd never seen before with a spooky cover and it had a track called The Revolution. I bought the album instantly - no way to listen to it first - and I was thrilled when I played it to discover the final tracks were the three-in-one piece I remembered.

I remain obsessed with that musical trilogy. If you can, go find it. The album is Chris de Burgh's The Getaway, and it's the last three tracks: Revolution, Light a Fire, and Liberty. OMG, goosebumps every time.

This fic is, at least in part, a product of that song. It still gets stuck in my head regularly. The lyrics don't really match my fic, but it's going to hit the right beats.
