warning: AU, angst, drama, h/c
summary: Principal Lighthouse Keeper William Boyd has a lonely existence as he watches over the storm-tossed seas from Dubh Artach Lighthouse. What happens when the sea deposits chaos on his doorstep in the form of Dominic Monaghan?

thanks: to tigertale7 for holding my hand through this whole thing and beta'ing along the way, to giddy_london, celtprincess13 and hyacinth_sky747 for the fantastic beta jobs, and to vensre for some last minute icon help! Most of all, thanks to voontah for the original idea and the song. None of this would have happened without her. ♥

notes: Written for monaboyd_month, but it wound up being longer than I could finish in such a short time. Is therefore a WIP, but I hope to complete it within the next month or two.

But before the fic, a song! No, this is NOT a songfic. However, Ready For The Storm by Dougie MacLean was definitely inspiration both on the subject, and for my mood while writing. Download, listen, enjoy! Consider it a one-song soundtrack. :D


Dubh Artach Lighthouse

It had been three days and fourteen hours since the lighthouse tender Pole Star had begun to sink in a freak summer storm.
