    Summary

    That was the beauty of it, in sum: they could really speak of things. From politics to the price of potatoes to the most precarious of family matters. Yet, on so many subjects, she need not tell him. He knew. And he knew because he cared to know.

    But their time together at Delaford was drawing to a close. Marianne would be up and playing the pianoforte any day now. In fact, had Elinor not known any better, she would have wondered if Marianne was extending her bedrest on purpose. And still, this thing that grew between Elinor and Brandon did not yet dare to speak its own name.

    Summary

    I explored the ending proposed by Jane Austen: three years after the end of 'Sense and Sensibility', we find Elinor married to Edward, and Brandon to Marianne.
    But unlike the 'and they lived happily ever after' finale the original plot suggests, temperaments clash and conflicts arise. Due to disappointment in their respective marriages, Elinor and the Colonel grow closer.

    (This sequel to S&S answers the question: 'Can Elinor and Brandon get together after the book's ending?' — yes, they can.)

    Summary

    Haymitch is not a prince on a white horse, but one moment he is sitting and fuming by the bar and the next, he’s up heading towards the pair.

    “Hey, sweetheart,” He says, placing his hand between her shoulder blades, gently, just brushing but making sure it looks authentic. The woman flinches, her eyes growing in greater fear. “I’ve been looking for you.”

    He keeps the eye-contact between the two of them until she realises and relief floods her gaze.

    “Oh,” She clears her throat, fakes a smile and leans into his side; fitting against his frame just in a perfect way. “Well, here I am, honey.”

    OR

    One way or another, Haymitch ends up pretending to be Effie's boyfriend to save her from a guy who can't take no for an answer.

    Summary

    I sometimes wonder if Joan didn’t make her cancer diagnosis known to others not so much because she didn’t want to worry them but because she didn’t want to appear weak. She’s the doctor, she’s supposed to take care of them. … with Sherlock it’s always been different.

    Previously posted on tumblr. Sorry about the “shortness.” I may just post the cancer chemo short stories here, so you can avoid them.
