After twenty-five years of resisting Eroica's advances, Klaus finally gives in, only to have the Earl drop a bombshell that convinces the Major that the world he knew ended without his knowledge and was replaced with a cruel parody. Nobody breathe or the house of cards will collapse.

Spoilers: Through “Emperor Waltz” with references to the hiatus after that story.

There are some things that money can't buy...

In 1977, Eroica met Iron Klaus for the first time. The Major later stole the Earl’s heart. But not before the thief made off with his beloved Leopard tank. It is now 2007, and the Major still doesn’t have his tank back. Yet.

This is a birthday gift for Dorian and Klaus. And to mark the thirtieth anniversary of the introduction of the Major to the series.
