    Summary

    Rumor and gossip surround Marianne after her embarrassing display at the ball.

    Fearing for her and her sister's reputations, she runs to Colonel Brandon, begging him to marry her.

    She quickly learns though that being his wife may not be as horrible as she'd once imagined.

    In fact... it may be the best thing that has ever happened to her.

    I picture the characters as the actors from the 2008 mini series, which if you haven't seen, GO DO IT DOWN! Incredible!

    Summary

    On her twenty-fifth birthday, Elinor Dashwood learns an impossible family secret from her mother. The first-born women in their family have the ability to travel back through their own lifetime to relive moments or alter their choices. At first, it’s harmless fun: undo a small mistake, relive the perfect day, escape an awkward situation.
    But when her sister, Marianne, becomes involved with the charming yet increasingly elusive John Willoughby, she can’t resist meddling to secure her sister’s happiness, even though each choice risks unintended consequences. One such reset brings Elinor close to the shy, kind-hearted, blue-eyed Edward Ferrars, but it also has disastrous consequences for her sister.
    Now Elinor must face the limits of her gift, and the consequences of her choices. Will she choose to stay with Edward, or go back one last time to save Marianne?

    Summary

    Keeping it simple with this one folks; just Sense and Sensibility from Edward’s POV, because I’m deeply fond of Edward and I enjoy when characters I like are enamored with my favourites (in this case, Elinor).

    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

    Dreams demand sacrifice. Choices have consequences. And for the Dashwood sisters, survival may cost more than they ever expected.
    After their father’s death leaves them financially stranded, the Dashwood sisters are forced to rebuild their lives from nothing. When their half-brother inherits the family business and cuts them off entirely, Elinor and Marianne abandon their plans for the future and accept work at Barton Arts Café, a small coffee shop that offers them a fragile sense of stability.
    While Elinor sacrifices her Oxford ambitions to hold her family together, Marianne, restless and idealistic, reaches for the silver screen through a dashing young man named John Willoughby — only to discover that dreams, pursued too blindly, can come at a high price.
    A modern Sense and Sensibility AU about sisterhood, ambition, mistakes, and the long road to healing.

    Summary

    Marianne Dashwood was always meant for great things. She was certain that when the time came for her to receive her prophesy, it would be something spectacular. She counted down the days until her sixteenth birthday, finding new reasons to support her belief each day. And indeed, on the day of her 16th birthday, she sees herself being carried away in the rain by a stranger, a voice telling her: "‘It is thus it will happen. A member of the aristocracy will save you from sorrow and death. No two tastes were ever more similar, no hearts so alike, no souls with such a similar path to love." Her sister is a prophesy sceptic, but Marianne knows destiny has found her at last when the handsome Willoughby picks her up after she hurts her ankle in the valley near Allenham.

    Summary

    I love Sense and Sensibility and I love Jane Austen, but I've always been way more interested in the romance between Marianne and Colonel Brandon than the one between Elinor & Edward. Their story isn't told with as much detail, especially toward the end, so this is my attempt to explore what may have occurred between them. Not at all criticizing Austen (imagine!). I totally understand that their romance was not the main focus of the story. I've just always wished I could sort of zoom in on what exactly happens between them during the time between Marianne's illness and their wedding. Particularly with emphasis on how Marianne's character develops and changes.

    Anyway, here's my crack at it. Enjoy!

    Summary

    Taking place five whole years before Jane Austen's novel, in this alternate universe, John Willoughby and Edward Ferrars meet at a dinner party, and after a few glasses of punch and wine (one spilled), they discover something that is very much not canon. 😝

    Summary

    “Single women have a dreadful propensity for being poor, which is one very strong argument in favour of matrimony, but I need not dwell on such arguments with you, pretty dear; you do not want inclination. To you I shall say, as I have often said before. Do not be in a hurry, the right man will come at last; you will in the course of the next two or three years meet with somebody more generally unexceptionable than anyone you have yet known...”
    - Letter from Jane Austen to her niece, Fanny Knight

    Or: the Austen characters try something like speed dating.

    Summary

    Modern-day AU. Marianne Dashwood thought she had found her second chance at happiness with John Willoughby, leaving behind the heartache of Christopher Brandon several months earlier. With promises of a future she’d always dreamed of—the kind Christopher couldn’t give her—she believed she was moving forward. But when a shocking accident robs her of the memories from the past year, Marianne is forced to confront the truth she’s forgotten. As she unravels the dark secrets of her relationship with Willoughby and confronts the raw, painful reasons she walked away from Christopher, she must decide: can love, patience, and time heal the shattered pieces of her heart, or will the lies and betrayals of the past destroy her forever?

    Summary

    Elinor’s portraiture is a marvel, and certainly, it is too beautiful to be left in Norland Park where his sister has no sense for the beauty of its meaning.
