Summary
"The Princess graciously waved to the throngs of supporters gathered outside her country's embassy." A load of manure, that's what that was. Why couldn't they tell the real story? Her eyes were like stars. She forgot to be shy when she smiled. She moved like a dancer when not weighed down by formal gowns and jewels. She could earn her living as a cook, if only she had someone to cook for.

I love all the detail in this fic. It fills it up like brushstrokes on a painting until there's no longer any white showing, and anchors the whole thing in time and place in a way that gives it all added substance. All of the characters are very much in-character - Mrs Jennings is very much herself - but Marianne's quiet happiness in her newly married life is a standout.

Summary
D knows better than to talk, here. His hand comes up - blindly, because he does not dare face the picture this situation paints in full sunlight - and finds that beloved head, that beloved hair, that beloved person. His fingertips meet skin: a cheekbone, giving way to the thin skin of covered eyelids, thin lashes fanning out against his touch; they find their way into that mass of wild hair he’s missed more than anything.
His throat is tight.
But it is only a dream, and so he allows himself this.
