    Summary

    This is a story about love, not morals. Our heroes will have an affair.
    This is a Sidlotte HEA.

    Story starts after the ending of S1. This is my first attempt at writing fiction. I’m trying to follow closely the feel of S1 of Sanditon – the grittiness, the inappropriateness. I like what Andrew Davies was originally going for. Some storylines from S2 and S3 will be incorporated, including (TW) the pregnancies in S2.

    Two main ideas that prompted this story:
    1. Sidney unable to meet Charlotte’s parents to formally ask for her hand.
    2. Charlotte being courted by Alexander Colbourne, instead of becoming a governess.

    Influenced, for better or worse, by a ton of insanely passionate Spanish language music and lyrics.

    Summary

    "But Brinshore, sir, which I dare say you have in your eye - the attempts of two or three speculating people about Brinshore this last year to raise that paltry hamlet - lying as it does between a stagnant marsh, a bleak moor and the constant effluvia of a ridge of putrefying seaweed - can end in nothing but their own disappointment. What in the name of common sense is to recommend Brinshore?"

    -Tom Parker, Jane Austen's Sanditon

     

    Sidney and Charlotte are forcing themselves to come to terms with their lot but fate has other ideas.

    Dedicated to the memory of our lovely OutlierNZ

    Summary

    “Who are you?” Sidney demanded to know in a brusque voice. This had been a crappy morning already and he was not in the mood for any of his female employees' poor attempts to flirt with him.

    Charlotte held out her hand. “Charlotte Heywood. Your new assistant. Personal Assistant.” ’Personal’. You sound like an idiot. Stop talking.

    He ignored her out-stretched hand. “I don’t have an assistant. Personal or not. Nor, do I need one.” His eyes flashed with annoyance.

    The arrogant prick! Charlotte’s temper flared. “That is not what HR thinks, so I suggest you take it up with them, Mr. Parker,” she hissed, fighting like hell to control her temper.

    Summary

    Set five years after the Season one episode 8 parting between Sidney and Charlotte.

    I just finished my story The River and the Man and wish to have a foot still planted in Sanditon.

    I am not promising the level of (PROPRIETY) in this one. I will see how the characters act.
