    Summary

    A modern AU where two friendship groups meet at a New Year party. From there follows a series of events, twists and turns, but which will ultimately conclude in a HEA (this is based on Austen after all). Contains some elements of the original Sanditon story, but also goes off in new directions.

    Summary

    This modern AU is set in a down-at-heel seaside town on the Sussex coast near Brighton, in and around Sanditon Head, the local secondary school.
    Sidney Parker is a few years older than in the series and already quite improved. He just needs a good woman to help him navigate his complex, busy life. Charlotte Heywood is also a few years older and is moving to Sanditon to start her new career.
    Jane Austen’s original Sanditon is thought to be have been based on Worthing, now a sprawling conurbation with a pebbly beach. The TV series was filmed in the South West, a very different landscape with beautiful sandy beaches. I decided to bring the action back to Sussex and its pebbles that kill your feet when you walk on them.
    Being British, the characters swear a lot, drink a lot of tea and spend a lot of time in the pub. Some Jane Austen characters also make fleeting appearances.
    The action takes place in the present, but there is no Covid (hurrah). Most characters get a happy ending, but it does get a little dark along the way. Blame Andrew Davies.
    It also gets a little steamy... but mostly I hope it’s romantic and uplifting.

    Summary

    Alison searches for love and adventure, Declan never wanted anything else. But sometimes it takes a little time to see another for who they really are. This story follows Alison’s and Fraser’s relationship before, during, in between and after the Sanditon episodes. Canon compliant. Spoilers for the end of season 2 in the later chapters, which will be posted in the future. I’ll tell when chapters address things from episodes 4, 5 and 6 so you can not read those if you’re avoiding spoilers.
