    Summary

    Given months of anguish and self-application, hearts have been known to slowly but surely remove from hopeless, if noble, attachments. The journey can be a wretched and revealing whirlwind—to the two lovers involved, that is. To society at large, to the onlookers and the whisperers, it can seem lifeless and lacklustre.

    Unsurprisingly, when watchful eyes in Devon and Dorset realise their expectations of a grand romance between Colonel Brandon and Marianne Dashwood are not to be, disappointment abounds. Fortunately for the colonel, his (apparently shocking) new dear one has fortitude and forbearance in spades.

    Summary

    A new reading of S&S, in which every event of the novel remains exactly the same (except the very end), and Austen’s glorious writing will entirely remain unaltered up until chapter 49.
    — A Brandinor story, as I personally call it.

    Summary

    On a gloomy day at Hyde Park, Colin Bridgerton fell off his horse. And Penelope Featherington fell in love. One heartbreak, a few years, and a series of unread letters later, Colin agrees to help his dear friend find a match in the marriage mart. What he does not agree to is falling for his own gambit.

    A story following the synopsis of season 3

    .

     

    “It is aggravating,” he hisses. “To watch the woman, you desire with every bone in your body, dance around with other men,” his dark orbs meet her sapphire ones, “go on promenades, ignore your very being and dream of marrying someone who isn’t you.”
