    Summary

    An imagination of how Marianne's affections for Colonel Brandon developed, in the attempted style of Jane Austen.

    It did not sit well with me, that the book described their marriage as "his reward" and suggested that she didn't fully desire it until after some time. So this is sort of a fix-it.

    I dedicate this of course to Alan Rickman.

    Summary

    "Colonel Brandon is an exceptional man, I think. What sadness he has known. He kept faithful to his first love, even after she had been torn away from him, even after she was dead. He is the true romantic, I think."

    Based mostly on the 2008 TV version of Sense and Sensibility. A study of Marianne and Colonel Brandon's courtship and eventual marriage.
