Summary
When twenty-two-year-old Charlotte Heywood accepts an au pair position in Martha’s Vineyard, she’s looking for summer adventure before starting her teaching career. She’s not prepared for Xander Colbourne—thirty-two, divorced, devastatingly attractive, and determined to maintain professional distance despite the tension crackling between them from the moment they meet.
Xander knows hiring Charlotte is a mistake. She’s too young, too vibrant, too everything he’s been trying not to want since his marriage imploded. But his daughter Leo needs her warmth and enthusiasm, so he tells himself he can control his attraction...A multichapter modern AU that unfolds across a beautiful summer - it is mostly drafted and will be 15 chapters long. Hope you enjoy.

Summary
Charlotte Heywood is a young doctor in New York City, exhausted by the realities of interning and residency applications, and quietly unraveling after leaving a relationship that never quite fit. In order to escape a shocking loss, her best friend Gigi treats her to a summer by the sea, where she accidentally begins exchanging letters with a man named Alex Colbourne, the reserved owner of their rented beach house in Sanditon. Over time, their correspondence deepens into something rare—intimate, honest, and transformative—despite the impossibility between them: Alex lives in 2008; Charlotte lives in 2010.
Loosely based on the 2006 movie ‘The Lake House’. Updated weekly.

Summary
What if Charlotte got the guts to tell Alexander, right then and there in the carraige, how she felt? What if instead of waiting for one miscommunication, she came right out with it? This fanfic starts from the carraige ride home from Falmouth and spans until the last episode of season 3. Like many of you, I didn't love the hasty ending, we get some courting in this version!

Summary
“Life affords so few second chances” - so said Mrs. Wheatley. But what if a third chance was needed?
In an alternate universe, Charlotte goes back to Willingden and marries Ralph Starling. If that doesn't completely scare you away, know that there’s always going to be a Heybourne Happy Ending in whatever I write. I might roast them over hot coals in the meantime, but they will not end poorly.
