Summary
Beyond the reach of time and space and even sense, she repeated his name now; a mournful mantra to her missed hopes. Gilbert… all began and ended with him...
My fond addition to the oft-mined time at the end of Anne of the Island; what happened in the long weeks between Anne's 'Book of Revelation' and 'When Love Takes up the Glass of Time'? What happens when love and potential loss are realised in the same moment?
This is a canon-compliant story hoping to fill in some gaps and explore paths not taken by LMM, from the time Anne and Gilbert reconnect through to their marriage. It stands separate to my other one-shots but can certainly be read alongside them. I love Anne of the Island and Anne's House of Dreams, and hope this does them justice.

Doth Walk in Fear and Dread: An Avonlea Halloween by MrsVonTrapp

Summary
When Gilbert is "rendered unconscious" on All Hallows Eve, events take a startling and unexpected turn.
What is dream and what is nightmare? What is real and what is not? And why does everyone believe he is Victor Frankenstein?!
This was originally written for Halloween a year ago, and is set in the Anne book-verse, and so descriptions of characters and their relationships are true to LMM canon. However, because it has lashings of Frankenstein (a delightful coincidence given the third season of Anne with an E) I thought it might also be of interest to those viewers and readers. Those not as familiar with the books, feel free to substitute poor Fred for Jerry!
This also follows sequentially from my previous one shots, 'Friendship is a Sheltering Tree' and 'Of Picnics and Predicaments', taking place the October after Anne and Gilbert's second year of teaching, still during 'Anne of Avonlea'.

Summary
Gilbert reflects on his frustratingly wonderful - and wonderfully frustrating - relationship with Anne.
His thoughts span all three seasons, beginning with their first meeting, and encompassing their first dance; up to and including Season 3 Episode 5, and lightly touching upon Episode 6.
I can usually be found in the Anne of Green Gables book-verse, so this is my first work for the TV series. And hopefully not my last!

Summary
Sun, surf and sandwiches. What could possibly go wrong?
This story takes place immediately after Chapter 17: A Chapter of Accidents in 'Anne of Avonlea', and imagines what might have happened during the proposed picnic at the shore Anne promised Davy and Dora, and also concerns a particular individual who was invited to accompany them.
This follows on narratively from 'Friendship is a Sheltering Tree', taking place the following summer.

Summary
Gilbert Blythe would move mountains for Anne Shirley. If only he could budge a blasted tree.
A canon-compliant, Anne of Avonlea one-shot taking place in the fertile first months of their new friendship, and set the first Christmas after Matthew's death.
The first of a short series of vignettes set during Anne of Avonlea and perhaps beyond.
