Summary
He stares at her for a moment, the ghost of his laughter clinging to his lips. His full, rose-pink lips. And then he opens them, and out comes the sweetest honey. “May I have the next dance, Miss Sharma?” Kate’s mouth drops, and she feels a flush zip up her spine. Never mind that she really, truly does want to dance with this stranger, wants to feel those arms brush against her, his hands around her own, have him smile at her.
“What makes you think I would accept the offer from a rake as such as yourself?”
He tucks his chin to his chest, and the way his grin makes her heart thump is really, terribly, unfortunate.
“I assure you, Miss Sharma, any liberties shared with my sister are not as cunning or as evil as you are imagining, and what with my mother out hunting her this very moment, I believe there are bigger issues to worry ourselves over for Eloise's sake.” He finishes, leaning slightly in, “wouldn’t you agree?”

Anthony arrives to the season a little later than expected, and Kate finds herself charmed by a pleasing smile, what chance did they have? Anthony isn't looking for a wife, but may have accidentally found one, anyway.

Bookmarker's Notes
My absolute favorite fic, maybe of all time. Certainly stands the test of time after so many years of being in the Fandom and that fading away. Never fails to bring a gidd smile on my face.

Summary
Slowly, carefully, the gentleman pulls out a gold pocket watch and lays it down on the work-table. All his urgency seems to drain away as he looks forlornly down at the old, slightly battered thing.
“It’s broken,” he says quietly.
He sounds like that too. Broken.

Summary
“Kate, I know how difficult this must be, how difficult it must have been since you split up but-”
“This isn’t difficult, Violet. It’s not. The man I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with, turned to me one day, after we’d made dinner together, and told me we were over, that he didn’t love me anymore. No warning, nothing. He was just done. And now, they want me to pretend it never happened, and I still can’t fucking leave him, because I still love him. Difficult is vector calculus, or conjugating verbs. This isn’t difficult. This is impossible.”OR
A year ago their relationship was perfect, at least Kate had thought it was until Anthony turned to her the day after her birthday and told her he couldn’t do this anymore. After two years together. And the worst part is now, after his accident: he doesn’t even remember. He just keeps telling her he’s going to marry her one day. All she’d wanted for a year was for Anthony to want her again, and now he does, she just wishes she wasn’t borrowing time.

Bookmarker's Notes
It hurts
I'm sobbing multiple times at 4:02 am. The heightened emotions and listening to Sneha's "Where Are We Going (And Where Have We Been)" throughout the fic on repeat are probably what's carrying this wave of feeling and catharsis, but the storytelling and portrayal of their trauma are absolutely beautiful. Hints of depression and self-loathing resonate with my own experience so much so that I am overwhelmed with guilt, regret, sadness, what have you in reflecting on my struggle with mental health.
