Summary
In the time since then, Stiorra has learned many things about Sigtryggr. She learns that he has a seemingly endless well of patience. Even when he is intimidating someone, he is calm. She has come to know his smell and what food he likes best. On the road they ate whatever they could get in order to survive, but once they are settled she begins to learn his true tastes. He eats meat but seems to prefer fish. He has a sweet tooth and loves fruit. When she first met him he smelled like smoke and iron, but in Eoforwic he smells like pine sap, beeswax, and the sheep wool oil he uses to clean and protect his sword from rust.

Summary
She glanced at her brother. They were running out of time and she needed to determine what other options they had. She cleared her throat. “Sigtryggr.”
He popped another dried fruit into his mouth as he looked up at her. “Yes, Lady?”
Edward stared at her, his face contorted halfway between a grimace and confusion. “What -”
“Do you have a wife?”
Sigtryggr grinned in a way that was almost bashful. “I do not.”

Summary
She looked at him properly then - he sounded so sincere. More than anyone, she wanted him to understand the beauty of it. Probably because of what they had done to him, and the residual guilt she felt. “It is incredible. It’s more than most people can imagine - but it shouldn’t be. It’s like VR, but better - because you can create the world. You think it and it becomes real.”

Summary
George frowned a little, but it was a special frown that turned into a small smile that showed his dimples. It was a look usually reserved for Emma. “Did you eat anything?”
“I’m an adult.”
“Yeah but are you an adult who had dinner?”
“I had...pizza.”
“That sounds...vague. And unsatisfying.”
“Yeah, well,” retorted Emma, “It had tortellini on it, so.”

Strawberries in the Garden by MostPreciousTreasures

Summary
The weather was lovely and the party was small enough for comfort - though Mr. Knightley had been talked into extending an invitation to Frank Churchill, which he did begrudgingly. Frank was expected to arrive late and Mr. Knightley was not embarrassed in his hope that he would just never arrive at all. For even with the younger man absent, Mr. Knightley did not feel his jealousy lessen. Just seeing Emma eat a strawberry was enough to set him off into a foul mood. He watched her laugh with Harriet and he wanted to ravish her, right there in the grass.

Summary
There was little else to say after that, for she was woefully and entirely right. He had always dreamed of children, even when he himself was a child. The desire, and it’s intensity, had only grown stronger as he had gotten older. With his parents long dead and his brother married, the only familial comfort Mr. Knightley knew was visiting Emma and Mr. Woodhouse for cards or an evening of quiet reading.

Summary
Emma had always taken great pride in her imagination, but that day found her wishing to be a duller person with a less active mind. For she could do nothing without imagining, again and again, all the times she had taken great pains to invite Mr. Elton to Hartfield in order to encourage interactions between himself and Harriet. Now everything he had done and said in those moments took on new meanings - the very recollection of all the times he had praised her or let his gaze linger on her a little too long made Emma feel quite dreadful.
~ a short little one shot about Emma discussing Mr. Elton's proposal with Mr. Knightley.

Summary
George had been away for some weeks and Emma was beginning to miss him quite terribly. He was traveling The Continent in order to gather information about the agricultural techniques of other countries - important work she gathered. But knowing that did not change her feelings - she missed him. She treasured his letters about tulips and windmills and looked forward to the day he would be back at their dinner table and back in her bed.

Summary
“Mr. Knightley...you are well-acquainted with the Woodhouses, are you not?”
Mr. Knightley felt his brow wrinkle before tempering his expression back into cool detachment. “Indeed,” he answered easily, “I have known the family since infancy. And since my brother’s marriage to Mr. Woodhouse’s eldest daughter and the death of my own parents, they are, in every practical sense, my family.”
Mr. Elton smiled slightly. “That is most heartwarming Mr. Knightley. I am glad to hear you have such a relationship with them, as I am most curious to learn more about the family.”
Mr. Knightley cocked his head. “What do you wish to know?”

Summary
“Stay still please.”
Mr. Knightley’s mouth settled into a neutral line, but his eyes twinkled with residual mirth as he straightened up. It was perhaps the most merriment Emma had seen in Mr. Knightley for days.

Summary
“Are you not going to thank me for my act of gallantry?,” he asked, a hint of playfulness to his question.
“To which act of gallantry do you refer, Mr. Knightley? I dare say I find you performing a great many gallant deeds.”
He inclined his head rather bashfully at her words. When he looked back at her, Emma noted the twinkle of mirth in his eyes. “I was speaking of my having saved you from the company of Mr. Elton.”

Summary
Though Emma Woodhouse had long known herself to be handsome, clever, rich and never wanting for anything - there was one thing she did not have that, as she grew older, was becoming more and more pronounced.
Namely - experience with sex and romance. But mostly sex.
At twenty-one, a college senior approaching graduation, Emma was finally starting to feel the “stirrings” she had read about in coming of age novels. Throughout high school and into college, she had yet to experience even a single kiss. She hoped to remedy that - and more - over winter break. But first she had to figure out who would help her with her goal.

Summary
“Steve, you’re my best friend.”
“You’re my best friend too,” he said immediately. He didn’t even take his eyes off the road to look at her. But she knew it was true because he smiled the rest of the ride and got out of the car to give her a big hug when he dropped her off at her house.
That had been years ago, and Robin still thought of it often. She hadn’t really ever had a best friend. Steve told her he hadn’t either - not a real best friend.
“Who knew a little torture by evil Russians could bring people together?,” he said.
