little darlin' don't you look charming here in the eye of a hurricane (Burn the House Down fanfic)
My first fanfic! Also on Archive of Our Own!
When Preston Lithwick III agreed to marry Janine Moore, he was already well-known around Washington D.C. He was a womanizer in name and appearance (if not behind the scenes), a charmer to all of the ladies and a drinking buddy to all of the men. He had allies lined up and down both chambers of Congress, and plenty of those men considered themselves Preston's friends, even if he was far from returning the sentiment. He was the life of every party. He was the center of every gathering.
Preston thought he knew fame. He thought he knew popularity.
The first time that the First Family takes a trip across the country to help Democrats campaign for the 1946 midterms, Preston realizes that he knows jackshit about fame.
People back home liked him. They reelected him to Congress over and over again. With the success of the wedding, they'll likely reelect him again this year.
But this? Crowds lined up and down streets as he and Janine pass by in Preston's old 1938 Lincoln Zephyr. A few flowers end up making it through the open windows as Janine waves, in her element charming the populace.
(Luis and Cynthia will be coming through on the train tonight. Preston aches to pull Luis into his arms and kiss him as thoroughly as possible, but Cynthia was smart enough to suggest that it would be better optics for Preston, Janine, and Annette to take the early train with their Secret Service agents and then drive through town with the good Senator behind, as a show of alliance. There's a reason why Preston respects her.)
When they stop in front of the Truman House, a crowd of hundreds of people is parted by the Secret Service as Preston, Janine, and Annette make their way to the Truman House, all dressed in their best. Janine looks as beautiful as ever in a green Dior full-skirted dress under a tailored ivory blazer. Preston does his best to match her in a dark green checked suit with pleated trousers and a dark tie. Annette looks the part of the dutiful but fashionable daughter, in a blue shirtdress with a white flower pinned to the right side of her chest.
The Trumans greet them in front of the cheering crowds, and Preston is pleased to find that the good Senator has a jovial smile and a sense of style that could rival Preston and even Luis. As Janine and Senator Truman shake hands, the crowds roar their approval of a hometown hero and the President cementing an alliance.
Preston takes the noise in stride. He's always enjoyed a crowd. Janine adjusts just as easily- she's always been one for socializing and schmoozing, as at home with a group of people as she is with her family. She's even more graceful with strangers than she is with the ones she loves, at times.
Annette, on the other hand? She's forcing a smile, but it's clear she'd rather be anywhere than here. The Trumans are lovely and kind enough not to say anything, if they notice it, but her discomfort is easily noticeable by those who know her best. She and the Trumans' daughter Margaret get along as well as two girls in that age range with wildly different interests can. Margaret is a college graduate with an interest in history and the opera; Annette is a restless teenager who would rather talk about sports or biology.
But they both understand the importance of the two families appearing on the same page, so while Senator Truman, Bess Truman, Janine, and Preston take their whiskey in the sitting room, Annette and Janine retire to the music room. As the good Senator and Janine discuss speeches, Preston gets to chatting with Bess, quickly cottoning on to her love of sport. Though baseball is more Cynthia's game to watch than his, Preston knows enough to keep things interesting. Bess is a lovely conversationalist either way.
(And to Annette's luck, Preston overhears her and Bess' conversation turn to the slim convergence of their interests: scientific history, a strange but welcome subject.)
To Annette's benefit, the Trumans are known to be rather private individuals, with visits with politicians not lasting longer than half an hour. Annette still seems worse for the wear when the First Family emerges with plans for speeches the next day and a new mystery novel for Annette in hand. It's not her usual scientific non-fiction or emerging fantasy, but the only moment that Preston saw a genuine smile from her was when Bess pressed the book into her hand with a smile.
The three of them enter the car and, with windows rolled up, depart for the train station where they will meet. Segregation is the disgusting name of the game in Missouri, but they will still make due where they can. That means separate hotels but a shared dinner in a restaurant where the President will insist that they cannot bear to have dinner without "her loyal Secretary and the First Gentleman's esteemed colleague."
Cynthia and Luis emerge from the train station as quite the picture: Cynthia in a lovely yellow blouse, matching dark blazer and knee-length skirt, and pearls, and Luis in those snazzy spectacles and that absolutely devastating zoot suit of his. They make quite the handsome pair and Preston is sure to shake hands with Cynthia and Luis with equal vigor even as he burns to take Luis to a back alley and kiss the side of his neck until he laughs. Appearances must, and he never once will pass up an opportunity to speak with Cynthia Freeman.
But a man has his priorities, and so: "Luis and I will meet you all for a late dinner," Preston says, covering his giddiness with the pomposity he learned all too well from his parents.
Annette rolls her eyes. "Of course you will," she says as she turns to Cynthia and begins to explain the book that Bess Truman gave her.
Preston doesn't turn to look at Luis; he's never looked away. He can't reach out and take Luis' hand, not with those same crowds (albeit slightly winnowed) watching them. Rather, he just smiles and says, "Mind joining me on a stroll before dinner, dear colleague?"
Luis smiles. "Sounds like a lovely plan for the evening, dear colleague." He can't wink, not with the occasional flash of a reporter's camera in the crowd, but the fondness in his voice is clear.
Preston turns to Janine and presses a kiss to her cheek. He doesn't miss the way that Cynthia's gaze flicks away in that moment, just as it always does, as if avoiding the moment can avoid the pain of pretending in public. Preston likes Cynthia, he wishes he didn't have to cause her such pain, but the mantra is the same as always: appearances must. "I shall see you for dinner, darling," he says with a wink, and she smiles back at him, her smile as bright as it is for Cynthia.
"Hurry back, honey," she says, reaching out to lovingly squeeze his hand in hers, and his fond smile at the sheer satisfaction in her eyes is genuine. She got what she wanted out of today- more political power- and now they are going to celebrate a job well-done with the family.
What more could a couple ask for?

CB&Q 4-6-4 Class S-4-A 4000 AEOLUS
Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad 4-6-4 Class S-4-A 4000 at Denver, Colorado on February 26, 1938, photograph by Dick Kindig, Chuck Zeiler collection. The following is from the Burlington Route Historical Society's Bulletin 14, AEOLUS:
On the evening of February 25, 1938, Aeolus 4000 departed Chicago Union Station with Train No. 1, the Denver Zephyr. Nearly 1,000 miles west, railfan Joe Schick learned that 'Alice' was coming his way from his hometown depot agent/operator in Keenesburg, Colorado on the mainline some 37 miles north-east of Denver. Early the next morning, Schick called fellow railfans Dick Kindig and Otto Perry in Denver to alert them, then headed out west of Keenseburg to capture the the 4000 speeding by at 85 mph. By the time Kindig could get down to Denver Union Station on his way to work, No. 1 had already arrived, and Dick captured this view of the locomotive easing off its train and down Track 1 before backing over to the Q's 23rd Street roundhouse for servicing.
