Summary
This Prologue sets the stage by retracing the broad emotional trajectory the 2015 BBC adaptation showed, a path often sharply divergent from Winston Graham’s novels. It follows the years shaped by Ross Poldark’s fixation on Elizabeth Chynoweth, the strain this placed on his marriage, and the choices that ultimately drove Demelza to leave Nampara.
At the same time, this AU restructures the 1790–1795 arc to serve the story that follows. Several threads shift earlier or unfold differently: Demelza’s friendship with Caroline Penvenen, her first meaningful encounters with Hugh Armitage, and the quiet strengthening of her independence. Certain series plotlines are condensed, reordered, or set aside entirely to keep the focus on Demelza’s emotional journey and the consequences of Ross’s choices.
Spanning 1790–1795 (unpublished Chapters 1–25), the Prologue provides the revised history through which this AU emerges. Only then does the true narrative begin. From Chapter 26 — The Gulf Between Us onward, this story follows the aftermath the adaptation never confronted: a marriage bent past breaking, a woman reclaiming her dignity, and the reckoning that unfolds when Ross finally seeks her out.

Summary
An embellishment for 'Bella,' (Book 12), in which Ross helps Demelza through the aftermath of her assault by Paul Kellow. Includes emotional and sexual healing. A reader who goes by the name 'icyspryte' gave me the idea to write something to "spice up" the twelfth book, so I must thank her by giving me that little push. And I agree with her-the last book needs some color, and Ross needs to be less of an idiot, although he goes on to perform one of his most idiotic stunts shortly after this scene in the book, which my fic doesn't get to. Once an idiot, always an idiot.

Bookmarker's Notes
Love the comments at the end of the story. Very insightful. Suggested Nampara by Susan Mcarthy as a better ending than Bella

Summary
Ross wakes in the middle of the night and remembers their loving that night and thinks about these early days of their marriage. A bit of philosophical though. Sexually explicit.
As always comments very much appreciated. Always seeking to improve.Bookmarked by Iris814
