Summary
I love Sense and Sensibility and I love Jane Austen, but I've always been way more interested in the romance between Marianne and Colonel Brandon than the one between Elinor & Edward. Their story isn't told with as much detail, especially toward the end, so this is my attempt to explore what may have occurred between them. Not at all criticizing Austen (imagine!). I totally understand that their romance was not the main focus of the story. I've just always wished I could sort of zoom in on what exactly happens between them during the time between Marianne's illness and their wedding. Particularly with emphasis on how Marianne's character develops and changes.
Anyway, here's my crack at it. Enjoy!

Summary
“Are you going to make me beg?”
The sound of the silver stirring rod softly scraping the lip of the brass cauldron abruptly stopped, and that was when she knew he’d froze; she presumed he was taking the following few moments to come up with a response that didn’t drip with acerbic sarcasm. She noticed he’d been using less of that around her as of late.
Shame.
She liked his acerbic sarcasm.

Summary
It was slow, like the changing of the seasons. Like the falling of leaves in autumn. Like the sprouting flowers in spring, blossoming around the Cottage.
A story exploring the two years between the end of Sense and Sensibility and its epilogue. Set in early 1790's and as historically accurate as I am capable of making it.

Summary
Rumor and gossip surround Marianne after her embarrassing display at the ball.
Fearing for her and her sister's reputations, she runs to Colonel Brandon, begging him to marry her.
She quickly learns though that being his wife may not be as horrible as she'd once imagined.
In fact... it may be the best thing that has ever happened to her.
I picture the characters as the actors from the 2008 mini series, which if you haven't seen, GO DO IT DOWN! Incredible!

Summary
Marianne Dashwood was always meant for great things. She was certain that when the time came for her to receive her prophesy, it would be something spectacular. She counted down the days until her sixteenth birthday, finding new reasons to support her belief each day. And indeed, on the day of her 16th birthday, she sees herself being carried away in the rain by a stranger, a voice telling her: "‘It is thus it will happen. A member of the aristocracy will save you from sorrow and death. No two tastes were ever more similar, no hearts so alike, no souls with such a similar path to love." Her sister is a prophesy sceptic, but Marianne knows destiny has found her at last when the handsome Willoughby picks her up after she hurts her ankle in the valley near Allenham.

Summary
“What does suit me, wife?” She watched as his eyes took her in from head to toe. An open invitation if she had ever received one from a gentleman.
Her heart stuttered in her chest as she took the step to stand between his legs. Her bold nature supplied daring words to her lips.
“Marriage,” she ran a finger down his jaw. Small hairs had grown since he shaved this morning. They prickled her finger in its descent. "Marriage suits you."

Summary
The obstinate Marianne Dashwood realizes second attachments are quite possible indeed, and may come even stronger than the first, born of foolish notions of youth. It may be, however, that she has seen the light too late, for a newcomer in town may have stolen the heart which she now wishes belonged to her. Ironically, the loss of that which she did not know she wished to have is what brought realization unto her.
