If Only We Had More Time by MichelleGz
Fandoms: Sense and Sensibility - Jane Austen, Sense and Sensibility (1995)

Summary
As Marianne sat at her husband's bedside she lamented that their time together had been so short. Despite their age difference the couple had enjoyed a wonderful 35 years of marriage together. However, as she looked back at the beginning of their relationship she felt despair fill her at the blindness she exhibited back then.
If she could do it all over again she would run headfirst toward her beloved Christopher. She would not waste one second on Willoughby or anyone else. As she closed her eyes to rest she prayed that her husband passed on from this world knowing how much she loved him. Little did she know she would be given the chance to follow through on her wishes.

Summary
“Miss Dashwood.” She jumped and let out a slight squeak instinctively turning to the voice. She was holding her chest where her heart was beating rapidly. When she saw Colonel Brandon standing in front of a sofa with his pointer finger holding his place in his book.
“Forgive me, I didn’t mean to startle you.” He said hastily and then as if remembering himself bowed to her. She returned the favor instinctually.
“No need for concern Colonel, I merely thought I was alone with just books.”
“I may leave if it assures you.”
“I would be more displeased with your absence than your presence.”

Summary
An accident at Marlborough Mills leaves John Thornton gravely wounded, and Margaret Hale is the only one able to offer him round-the-clock care. Taking place just before her father leaves for Oxford, Miss Hale is forced to confront her feelings for a man she isn't sure will ever wake up again. Some angst, some fluffy "locked in a room together" HEA goodness, and lots of tragedy to start. Blend of the BBC 2004 miniseries and the book. Please see notes if you wish to avoid descriptions of the incident.

Summary
"A happy family is but an earlier heaven" - George Bernard Shaw
Set in the world of my completed story A Life Together, these are basically plotless fluffy happy oneshots that I need to write to cheer myself up during these awful times. They're in a totally random, non chronological order. Prompts and requests absolutely welcome!
Most chapters are a U (G?) rating and totally family friendly. Any E rated chapters are fully labelled so you can skip those if not your taste.
