Re: Estancia Aldea Norteña 33: Nuevas Posibilidades de Todos - 24 days ago

Yeah, it took me a bit, but I eventually realized that Gen Tilney was forcing Figueroa to back down from supporting Catherine by either betting him during their golf games or by threatening to call in golf debts.

Yeah, yeah, sure, he almost kissed her, but DID YOU SEE that he trusts her with his phone?

I love this chapter, the way Henry forgives/protects Catherine from her excesses.

Re: Estancia Aldea Norteña 19: Riesgo Cardíaco - 2 months ago

This is always a frustrating moment in canon. Frederick & Isabella are flirting like mad, Catherine knows in her gut it's wrong, but she can't find someone to help her do anything about it except trust and wait.

Re: Invitación - 2 months ago

Amused by the whole "beware of your supervisor!" when it turned out to be Henry all along. I suppose this is him teasing her about what gothic horror awaits her at the abbey?

I think the Aguirres have Isabella figured out, and it's a shame Javier has to find out the long way

Henry/Catherine is my fave, but I also love Catherine & Eleanor!

Re: Estancia Aldea Norteña 7: Estar Remando en Dulce de Leche - 4 months ago

I prefer to like James Morland. He ticks off the Honorable Man and Jilted Lover spots on my bingo card which are v sympathetic, likeable spots. But I forget that he's also Annoying Family Member and Seriously Blind in canon. I have a feeling that it will be hard for me to feel too bad for him when EAN reaches the jilting but I guess that's what makes him such a great & versatile character.

The Bones of Saint-Sang By NocturnalNefarious Spook "That which walks in Betton Wood Knows why it walks or why it cries." M. R. James, A Neighbour's Landmark John Willoughby did not like his wife.

Notes - 7 months ago

I hope this puts you in a Halloween mood. I hope it wasn't too horrid. It felt fairly true to the Marianne who got deathly sick after W jilted her. And if you want a happier ending, the ending I tried to write first splits off right before Nelly offers to kill Marianne. Basically, Brandon notices the maid and asks who she is. Nelly reveals herself to be a devil who will own Marianne's soul afte

Cost of Wishes, 3 (end) - 7 months ago

Part 3 The affianced lovers were celebrated throughout the neighborhood, constantly invited to dine or take tea at every house, for every member of the community found something charming in them. After the first two weeks, Marianne found it all quite fatiguing. All she wanted was the perfect communion of spirits that they had experienced during the time which she called their courtship. How she

Re: Cost of Wishes, 2 - 7 months ago

Yes. Nelly's resolution to any problem is murder. She's very simple that way. Simple and dangerous.

Re: Cost of Wishes, 1 - 7 months ago

Very much so. And a sad Marianne is not super into self-preservation.

Re: Cost of Wishes, 1 - 7 months ago

The devil has a way of ruining all the wishes. As much as Marianne asks for what she wants, there's always a way to misinterpret it.

Cost of Wishes, 2 - 7 months ago

Part 2 Again Marianne Dashwood was sitting with her mother and sisters when the mail came. Again her mother then Elinor read the letter of John Dashwood’s death. Had not Marianne wished that her brother’s family lived? Again her mother then Elinor left the room. Again she read the letter. This time, instead of hiding in her room and calling for Nelly, she grabbed her shawl and bonnet and headed o

notes - 7 months ago

I originally started writing this in 2014 in response to the JaOctGoHoNo prompt "10" and I obviously didn't finish it in time because my brain had latched onto what became "Bad Things Come in Threes" so I set this aside and forgot about it for years. Then I finally picked it up and finished it and it was the wrong time of year for this sort of story so I set it aside for a few more years. And now

Cost of Wishes, 1 - 7 months ago

The Cost of Wishes Marianne had locked herself in her room to cry alone and bitterly. Willoughby, who loved her, had committed himself to someone else. The Dashwood girls, it seemed, were too poor to marry. Willoughby was blameless in this, she knew. It was all John Dashwood's fault; his and his son's. Had her great-uncle not settled everything on her nephew Harry -- had he only spared a few thou

Re: Drynuary (one shot) - 1 year ago

Chris and Marianne end up together in cannon so that's what I envision here too. But there's all that courtship during convalesence. So, yeah, a really long Drynuary (convalesence) for my Marianne as she spends more time with Chris over coffee and eventually decides that turning a friend into a boyfriend is slower than just asking out some random guy but you have much better quality control.

Drynuary (one shot) - 1 year ago

Blurb: Chris Brandon's coffee run is interrupted by meeting the Dashwood sisters. A modern S&S one-shot. Thanks to Karen for the peer review! Drynuary for Hookups "Chris, Chris, Chris," said Maggie Dashwood as she grabbed his arm and yanked him down into the seat beside her, "you gotta help me." Chris Brandon glanced briefly at the cashier he had been walking toward before turning to t
