    Summary

    And with that, it was Christmastime on Prince Edward Island. He was 20, in his sophomore year. It was 1921.
    He sat at the back of the Presbyterian church with his brother, Bash, and Bash’s daughter.
    He heard the doors open one more time, which caused Delphine to whine. The brothers turned their attention to contenting the young girl. Gilbert was holding up a toy for her when Bash let out a low whistle, disbelief clear on his face.
    Gilbert turned to follow his line of sight. A young woman several rows ahead of them removed her wool cloche, revealing a red bob beneath.
    Slowly, Anne’s pale face turned towards the back, catching his eye. She was quick to look away, but he wasn’t.
    “You know,” his brother said quietly. “She cut all her hair off to be sure that you would look.”

     

    Living in a time, in a moment, in a place, where it seems everyone is a bit haunted, Gilbert Blythe can't understand what comes next.

    Shirbert set in the 1920s, where things weren't settled before Anne and Gilbert went their separate ways.

    Summary

    Anne finds it particularly difficult to ignore Gilbert Blythe on the morning of the Ravenclaw/Gryffindor match, especially when it seems he is more focused on impressing her than actually catching the golden snitch.

    Summary

    Gilbert Blythe is not superstitious, but he is a little stitious.

    aka

    Former Calder-winner Gilbert Blythe is going through a massive slump during what should be a championship season for the Charlottetown Crowns. Obviously, the correct course of action would be to latch on to the first supposed good-luck charm that smacks him upside the head with a slate, right?
