    Summary

    Modern-day AU. Marianne Dashwood thought she had found her second chance at happiness with John Willoughby, leaving behind the heartache of Christopher Brandon several months earlier. With promises of a future she’d always dreamed of—the kind Christopher couldn’t give her—she believed she was moving forward. But when a shocking accident robs her of the memories from the past year, Marianne is forced to confront the truth she’s forgotten. As she unravels the dark secrets of her relationship with Willoughby and confronts the raw, painful reasons she walked away from Christopher, she must decide: can love, patience, and time heal the shattered pieces of her heart, or will the lies and betrayals of the past destroy her forever?

    Summary

    "That sister of yours," Papa said, his knife flashing, "flies through life on swift wings, much as her mother does. While you, my mouse, are my child through and through; we neither of us choose to leave the solid earth under our feet."

    Elinor knew herself to be most closely aligned with Papa, but had not framed the differences between her parents — or between herself and Marianne — as such a stark dichotomy. "And Margaret?" she asked, curious about how her youngest sister was viewed.

    Papa chortled as he set the first pencil down, the point fine and sharp, the smell of shaved wood spicing the air. "Margaret would swim the oceans with a knife in her teeth if she could," he said, and Elinor could not help laughing too. "Today the Channel, tomorrow the Atlantic."

    Summary

    On one occasion only did Elinor permit Lucy to provoke a response out of her, beyond what she felt she could safely say and do as a presumed mere friend and well-wisher of Edward;—and what followed from that loss of self-command was such as to put her even more on her guard against any accidental increases in intimacy, for she then knew another shape that the danger could take.

    Summary

    Y/n, a modern woman with an affinity for all things vintage, is mocked by her friends for her delicate tastes and old-fashioned charm. One morning, she awakens to find herself in a luxurious, candlelit world among the Dashwood family at Barton Cottage—where she is warmly accepted as a long-lost cousin. As Y/n grapples with the unfamiliar customs and graceful mannerisms of Regency England, she begins to wonder if her unexpected journey might also lead her to true love.

    Will she find love in this world that is both enchanting and alien to her?

    Summary

    Our favourite Jane Austen couples visiting (or not visiting) their relations. A series of vingettes.

    The Emma story has some unfortunate views about infertility which I wish I could call outdated. If that is a trigger for you, skip ahead to the next story.

    When the house in Camden Place has a delay in availability, Sir Walter and Elizabeth opt for a visit to his other Elliot nephew. The same Elliot and his Lady whose cottage near Dartford, Robert Ferrars spoke so highly of. This tale follows the train of consequences of two of Ms. Austen's more unlikeable characters finding a kindred spirit in each other. Many larger changes for our beloved favorites come from this one meeting.
