    Summary

    Chapter 27 is up! Nothing here but bedroom shenanigans and people who love each other... (also, turns out there is one more chapter after this).

    (This is the story where Anne eventually falls gravely ill and Gilbert sobs through several chapters, if you're into that kind of thing. Then there's mild smut.)

    Compliant with canon through the end of Season 3, at the brilliant suggestion of a commenter I have reimagined mischievous Roy Gardner, because I can only imagine what he would do if his darling Anne had her heart broken the way it was in episodes 7-10 (until the end). Naturally he will spend much of his time pushing Gilbert's buttons, because he's very good at it and he's feeling very protective of Anne after her recent heartbreak.

    The first two chapters are similar to the other work because it's the same Roy and he has the same kind of relationship with Anne. I reworked it only to make the timelines and circumstances fit canon. Different story with the same characters starting at chapter 3.
