You Know What Scenario I'd Love? If Anne And Gilbert Hadnt Been Able To Sort Out Their Misunderstandings

You know what scenario I'd love? If Anne and Gilbert hadn’t been able to sort out their misunderstandings and Gilbert became ill with typhus like in the books. He writes her, thinking he's dying, to let her know she's loved by him, because he cannot bear to die without making sure that Anne doesn't have to live a single day without knowing how wonderfull and loved she is. He sends his mother's wedding ring with the letter as a reminder of his love and because she's the only woman he'd ever want to wear this ring.

And because I'm a sucker for angst with a happy ending, Anne rushes to his side and nurses him back to health.

Celebrated my birthday with two of my closest friends. We're our own iron trio.

And because we're lame, lazy geeks, we did bordgames and DVDs that turned into a pyjama party.

Sometime around 1 in the morning my mate Marc, who reminds me a lot of George from Lockwood and Co, asks:

"Are you tired?"

"A bit. Why?"

"Because you have huge bags under your eyes that weren't there a couple of hours ago."

I glare at him.

"I removed my make-up when I changed into my PJs."

He: "Oh."

That could so be Lucy and George in 20 years.

It seems like Lockwood is totally oblivious about his feelings for Lucy, but what if he was not?

What if he knows he loves her, but thinks he can't give her what she deserves with them (especially him) in constant danger of dying and the agency barely getting by financially?

What if he is planning to make a move on Lucy when their talent has faded and the mortage is payed off?

He will totally confuse Lucy because after all these years of not showing anything beyond friendship he will ask her out and it will be a grand gesture - red roses, candle light dinner and him completely opening his heart to her.

I just realized that the Hogwarts Legacy characters are the generation of Newt Scamander's parents. Newt was born in 1897, so 7 years after HL.

Wizards tend to start a family early and we know that Newt's mother bread Hippogriffs and Newt was a Hufflepuff. That made me think: Could Poppy Sweeting - a Hippogriff loving Hufflepuff - be Newt's mother?

I think I know which fic you’re talking about in your last post!
