    To Tame and Tarry

    Summary:
    The bundling scene as per the book, from Matthew’s POV.

    Notes:
    While I loved the interpretation of the bundling scene in the series, I still have a real soft spot for the original scene as it was written in the book. I especially wanted to explore it from Matthew’s perspective given he makes, to a modern reader, some pretty... seemingly odd decisions, so here it is - my humble attempt at pulling together all of the threads of his reasoning as it was laid out in the books and series. You’ll notice I did refer to a couple of series specific scenes too. I couldn’t help it! It is a liiiittle smuttier than the original. I figured being from Matthew’s perspective makes that permissible ;) With all due credit and respect to Deborah Harkness for her phenomenal original work. Despite my deep and abiding love for the books, I only fully appreciated how nuanced, witty and sexy the original is when exploring this scene from an opposing lens. Hope you enjoy!

    Summary

    Set after Matthew and Diana’s first yoga class together in the book, before Matthew runs away to Scotland. Just a smutty one-shot imagining what he’s feeling and thinking (and doing!) before he decides to go hunting with Hamish.
