    Summary

    Can you remember when you fell in love for the very first time?

    For Charlotte Heywood, the experience happened over two decades ago when she was the tender age of fourteen. Now thirty-something and single, she wonders why she can still remember the experience so vividly.

    Life throws her a curve ball when she unexpectedly bumps into the man she first fell in love with all those years ago. But after everything that has happened, what will it be like between them?

    A short romance which has drawn inspiration from Bridget Jones's Diary and Little Women... Oh, and Sanditon of course!

    Summary

    By a stroke of cruel destiny and brotherly incompetence, Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker have been torn apart. The sepparation takes its toll on them both, in different ways, until an old friend decides to step in and lend a helping hand.

    If the summer spent in Sanditon, was filled with adventure and blosoming romance, winter brings with it longing and feelings that struggle to come to the surface from beneath a web of strains and deception. But winter is also a time for comfort and joy. Can Sidney and Charlotte find their way back to each other this Christmas or is their love story destined to remain irrevocably gone?

    Summary

    Hi! This story is a modern take that places our Sidlotte in a somewhat Hitchcock mixed with gothic novel-inspired tale. At least that’s what I had in mind 🙃. Let’s see if it works! I don’t want to give too much away in the summary.

    If this Sidlotte story has been done already, apologies! I haven't read all the great works out there yet!

    As with everything I’ve put on AO3, there will be a HEA after some twists and turns. I typically update one or two times per week, work permitting. For those interested…Butter is included 😊 as if I had a choice!

    Oh, and it’s rated mature but I’m really bad at ratings so there might (will) be some E as well…and typos (is that the T rating?), there will be unintended typos—consider it part of the mystery we can all solve!

    Summary

    “Don't it always seem to go
    That you don't know what you've got till it’s gone
    They paved paradise
    And put up a parking lot”
    Big Yellow Taxi, Joni Mitchell, 1970

    What if developing Sanditon wasn’t such a great idea after all? A dark tale of Council corruption, dodgy developers, backhanders and murky deeds… not really, just a rather silly Sidlotte modern mash-up, with a slightly dark edge. It's inspired by Sanditon, but I can’t promise it’s very true to character, especially Charlotte’s. Anyway, it’s my attempt at a slightly political, slightly messy relationship story. Set somewhere on the Devon coast in the summertime... (Jane Austen liked to go to Sidmouth). There may be some sadness along the way, but there will be a happy ending.

    Summary

    “A white castle afar from the world…”– That’s Tom Parker’s Sanditon Grand Hotel. For Charlotte Heywood, the new management trainee, it’s a place of adventure, experience, discovery… and of a great love story. But is there a chance for true love in a world full of secrets, superficial fame and financial challenges?

    The storyline is generally based on Andrew Davies’ Sanditon, but since it's set in 2017, there are some twists and turns. The most significant twist is, of course, that no one is going to steal the happy ending (even if certain people will try everything they can to achieve just that).

    ❤️🌊Modern retell of Sanditon as we know it with several bonuses: seagulls, golf cart races, a happy ending - to name just a few 🌊❤️

    Summary

    AU, Modern, Steamy little story about Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker. For all of Charlotte's teenage years she's had a crush on Sidney Parker who worked for her father on his horse ranch. He's treated her like a kid since he's five years older than her. That changed when she turned eighteen and he finally gave in to all the flirting. Only it's not exactly how she pictured it would go. Now, four years later, she has inherited her father's horse ranch and she is forced back into the life she left behind.

    Lots of sex, lots of fighting, could be seen as quite aggressive at times, and Sidney will be looked at as a douche, I'm sure.

    Summary

    Charlotte Heywood returns to Sanditon, this time with her sister Alison, and things are not quite how she left them. The militia are in town and there are new residents to meet. What new adventures will befall her this time around?

    A few scenes which I have imagined for Season Two of Sanditon following the news of its renewal, mainly focusing on Charlotte's story.

    It will include the new and returning characters.

    Disclaimer: Whilst these scenes will allude to Sidney's absence, they will not resolve or explain it. I’ll leave that for the writers of S2 and S3.

    [[UPDATE: I have some news to share in Chapter 38!!]] Exactly what it sounds like: Josh and Lucy play the Starting Over Game. This is meant to read as a true to canon sequel and follows the first fifteen or so months of their relationship, picking up the day after the book ends. Buckle your seat belts, bitches. And go give THG a quick reread. I mined it extensively for details to build upon and I demand that you notice them all.
