    Summary

    Companion piece to Stronger than we are. I recommend against reading this without knowing the first part of the series in its entirety!

    This fic explores the story of Stronger than we are from Henry Tilney's point of view. Some of the scenes featured in this work will be already known, but presented from a different angle, others will be entirely new, adding parts of the story that were never witnessed by the Morlands.

    Summary

    Catherine Morland was excessively dissapointed upon learning that the Tilneys were to leave bath so soon. Surely the general, who so very often appeared pale and sickly, would benefit from taking the waters a little longer? But what absolute joy to find herself immediately invited to join the family at Northanger Abbey! That the Tilneys kept very odd hours and served rather unusual dinners did not signify, Eleanor and Henry Tilney were the most charming friends in the world. And as for their father and brother, surely she would get used to the unease she invariably felt in their presence...

    Summary

    When in search for a tragic hero, no one would have thought to look twice at Henry Tilney. His life may have begun promising, being born under the roof of a former abbey as the second son of a very stern military man, but from this point on both Henry’s situation in life and his disposition were entirely against him…

    [A full rewrite of Jane Austen's “Northanger Abbey”, this time told from the perspective of Henry Tilney. Since the original is named for the Tilney’s home, I thought this reimagining should be named for the Morland’s.
    Written to be canon compliant, historically accurate and in the style of the original work.]

    Summary

    Mrs. Elizabeth Darcy had learned her lesson well not to take gossip at face value, that both sides of a story must be told before action was taken – particularly if the bearer of the tale was the injured party. So when she heard young Margaret Dashwood’s account of her brother’s dismissal of their late father’s wishes, she made discreet inquiries before taking action. (John and Fanny Dashwood are tried in the court of public opinion and come out the worse for the wear.)
