    Summary

    Anne & Gilbert are discovering new feelings for one another and are not entirely sure what to do with them. They come upon an opportunity to spend more time together when Miss Stacey asks them to visit the local mikmak village. The fun really starts when Gilbert drinks something he shouldn't and something happens between them that changes their relationship forever.
    Anne's self doubt and Gilbert's inability to be honest about his feelings leads to many moments of miscommunication but will they tell each other how they feel just in time before he leaves for university or will they miss their chance?

    Summary

    Chapter 27 is up! Nothing here but bedroom shenanigans and people who love each other... (also, turns out there is one more chapter after this).

    (This is the story where Anne eventually falls gravely ill and Gilbert sobs through several chapters, if you're into that kind of thing. Then there's mild smut.)

    Compliant with canon through the end of Season 3, at the brilliant suggestion of a commenter I have reimagined mischievous Roy Gardner, because I can only imagine what he would do if his darling Anne had her heart broken the way it was in episodes 7-10 (until the end). Naturally he will spend much of his time pushing Gilbert's buttons, because he's very good at it and he's feeling very protective of Anne after her recent heartbreak.

    The first two chapters are similar to the other work because it's the same Roy and he has the same kind of relationship with Anne. I reworked it only to make the timelines and circumstances fit canon. Different story with the same characters starting at chapter 3.

    Summary

    Anne and Gilbert have been in each other's orbit since Anne arrived in Avonlea. Dance practice stirs up feelings neither of them realized were deep within. From there events unfold a little differently from how we expect.

    (Basically, I'm very disappointed in the two final episodes particularly—but I also think there would have been more depth to their friendship considering Anne was always over at the Blythes' house learning from Mary and then helping Marilla with Delphine.)

    P.S. Thank you Shakespeare for the title (from The Tempest).

    Summary

    Josh and Donna's... whatever they have... feels so obvious that it's hard to remember a time where Josh and Donna weren't, well, Josh-and-Donna. For some, it was easy to spot right away. For others, it took a little more time. A few were shocked to learn that they were among the last to catch on. But for all of them, it was just a waiting game to see how long Josh and Donna themselves would be in denial.

    Missing scene from the 2005 movie. After convincing her father she is serious about accepting Darcy's suit, Lizzy goes to where her newly betrothed is anxiously waiting.

    "He stops mid-stride and looks up at her. His eyes are bright when they meet hers. One arm jerks up, reaching for her, and before she has time to think about what she is doing she is walking quickly towards him. He takes a step forward and then they are together, close enough nearly to touch."

    Summary

    Anne looked Gilbert over, trying to see in him the same boy she had loved to hate. But she couldn’t. Nor could she see the youth who often had the dreamy look in his eyes when she caught him gazing upon her. Nor even the version of him that had haunted her dreams after her refusal. All that was before her was the young man Gilbert had suddenly become in their estrangement. “I have a sudden understanding and appreciation for how Diana could have given up the ideal suitor of her imagination for the imperfect reality of Fred Wright.”

    After having reconciled with Colin and Eloise, Penelope is thrilled to be back, taking tea with the two of them in the Bridgerton drawing room and listening to them banter. Except when Eloise comments on her freezing in the path of an oncoming hot air balloon and she starts blushing uncontrollably.

    Just a scene full of teasing and banter and fluff with the slightest touch of heat..
