mayhap
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Emily of New Moon - L. M. Montgomery
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Dean Priest/Emily Byrd Starr
Characters: Emily Byrd Starr, Dean Priest
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Angst with a Happy Ending, Injury Recovery, Italics, First Kiss, Reconciliation, Canon-Typical Discussion of Disability
Summary:
I've always thought that Dean is by far the most interesting potential love interest for Emily—yes, even at his absolute nadir, he's just a much more compelling character to me. I keep wanting it to magically work out somehow every time I reread. Sadly, it never happens on its own, so I had to actually sit down and write it, making a few little tweaks here and there so it could be possible for things to end differently.
Oddly, I'd never really remarked on the significance of the allusion to Jane Eyre that I used for the title before this reread, even though I know I'd already read it before I read the Emily books and it's always been a favorite of mine. If Dean is going to compare himself to Mr. Rochester, that is a comparison that is extremely favorable to him, honestly!
