Summary
“Something You Wished to Tell Me” is a late-Season-3 alteration that explores what might have happened if Charlotte had found the courage to speak—and Alexander, the courage to try again. A blend of missing scenes, altering his/her POV, and emotional reckoning, this story picks up just before the wedding-that-wasn’t and carries through to a new ending that stays canon-compliant… except when it doesn’t.
Told with alternating perspectives (and a touch of girl talk), this is a story of misunderstandings laid bare, agency reclaimed, and two people finally choosing each other—fully, freely, and without fear.
Written for #30DaysOfHeybourne, with love.

Summary
A missing scene set during the carriage ride to Bath after Season 2. As Leo sleeps, Augusta and Alexander finally speak—of loss, regret, and the quiet resolve to honor what Charlotte Heywood meant to them. #Heybourne but solely Alexander and Augusta's scene. Charlotte and Leo mentioned.

Summary
This is a Beach Concert/Missing Scene story (though not a wordless missing scene) about what might have transpired between the end of the aria and the end of the episode and directly after the episode ended.
I believe Alexander entered Season 3 as a changed man. He was more confident, he had gone a long way towards mending his relationships with the girls, and when he heard Charlotte was back, he was eager to make amends. The brick wall of her engagement was the only thing stopping him, as it would mean, once again, compromising both her honor and his own to speak - this after she had already accused him of showing her too much disrespect for her to ever "feel tenderness" for him. Here, I imagine he found a way to use the sea, the music, and metaphor to make his feelings known.

Summary
This Drabblissimo is another #DrabbleOberFest entry.
At almost 5,000 words, I suggest you snuggle up with your favorite libation.
I seem to be on a 'Charlotte and Alexander to the Rescue' kick. This fic follows canon so far as canon goes. It takes place at the end of S3E4 and the beginning of S3E5, when it is discovered that Augusta and Edward have eloped.
I have kept what dialogue appears between the pertinent characters and filled out the scenes that are 'missing' from our view.
It also seemed to provide an opportunity for a missing and very necessary conversation between our favorite lovers.
Obviously, the characters and show dialogue are not my own.

Summary
Again... a nearly 3,000-word 'drabble.' Sorry, @GatHeart. I will not be condensed. 😊
Missing Scene: the ride to find Leo.
When Leo overhears Charlotte and Alexander after the ball and runs off the next day to learn the truth from Lennox, our favorite lovers have perhaps their longest interlude alone before their engagement (excepting the notorious carriage ride). And we didn't get to see any of it. So I wrote it.
