Let Love clasp Grief lest both be drown'd » by
MrsVonTrapp
A close-to-canon story that imagines what happened between the pages - and during the summer - at the end of 'Anne of the Island', taking place from the time of Gilbert's near-death and recovery to his second proposal to Anne... and a little beyond! It begins at 'A Book of Revelation' and features the perspectives of both Anne and Gilbert.

O! Let me have thee whole! all - all - be mine! » by
MrsVonTrapp
Anne and Gilbert's M-rated wedding night and honeymoon moments from my story 'Let Love clasp Grief lest both be drown'd'. From both Anne and Gilbert's perspective, this is my contribution to that romantic, impassioned time that LMM left as a frustratingly blank canvas, as our two learn about themselves and one another. It contains a three-chapter arc. And a fair bit of Keats!

"I did not become a nurse to help people. It is, simply put, the only thing I am actually any good at. Or no, that's not right, is it? It is, to be precise, the only thing I am better at than my sisters. That, then, is what set me on this path. And the path has led me right here." A different take on Rilla Blythe's war as an army nurse in war-torn Europe.

265Golden Days » by
Catiegirl
Golden Days is a collection of episodes that I imagine happened between the pages of Anne of Avonlea. Anne and Gil's deepening friendship had to have been a pretty amazing thing, and I always felt they deserved more page time! These are stand-alone chapters, and are not in chronological order. I am adding to these gradually, so you never know when one will pop up!
