Summary
At 18, Bertha Kelly is hot-tempered, headstrong, and far too clever for her own good. One of twelve children, she's sick of her life as the daughter of Famine Irish immigrants in Kansas -- she wants more, and she's determined to get it.
A trip to visit wealthier relations in Cincinnati gives her a taste of the life she knows she was born to lead; and she swears then and there that she's never going back. When she meets arrogant, ambitious, infuriatingly handsome George Russell, she can't stand him. She also can't stop thinking about him.
Turns out the feeling is mutual.
***
Or, the George and Bertha origin story you know you want, featuring a rough-around-the-edges teenage Bertha; a dumb, cocky George who hasn't quite figured out how to charm women; and the big dreams (and big egos) that bring them together (and sometimes push them apart).Bookmarked by S_Winter_Fitzgerald

Summary
What made Bertha Russell into the woman she is today? How did George Russell become so successful?
This story goes back in time to several different stages of the couples' lives, portraying key moments that shaped them into the solid couple they are today. It contains my personal headcanons that George and Bertha have known each other since childhood, and he has been in love with her forever.
Bertha/George all the way!
