Summary

Summary

Based on the anonymous tumblr prompt: a jealous Mr Knightley over Emma and Frank's friendship.
What George doesn’t expect, as he watches Emma and Frank emerge from the middle of the crowd, is for Emma’s hand to be clasped quite firmly in Frank’s own. The intimacy is glaring, like a neon sign flashing in the depths of a dark night.
Something red hot flushes inside of him, but George can’t pinpoint its source exactly - he only knows he doesn’t like what he sees.

Summary

Based on the tumblr prompt: Mr Knightley asking Mr Woodhouse for Emma's hand.
On the familiar approach to Hartfield, across the rolling green of the hills, George Knightley considers that his arrival this evening is likely to be divisive. By one occupant he believes he will be most eagerly anticipated. By the other, however, his presence will likely be quite dreaded.

Summary

In almost all of their movies, Fred's character spells bad news for Ginger's, at least for a time--he gets her fired, he ruins her auditions, he screws up her engagements, etc. You just want to tell her to run far, far away as soon as he enters the scene. But then, of course, she would never fall in love with him, and there would be no film, and that would be no fun. Besides, he always manages to charm her in the end...
