Oh dear God, that was so DELIGHTFUL.

She swooned! INTO HIS ARMS.

He may not be her friend, but she's his!

OH GILBERT BLYTHE, WHY ARE YOU THE GREATEST EVER?

There has to be a sequel where she finally pierces her ears and wears the earrings and Gilbert remembers and is all smirky and dashing and charming and I think I have the vapors.

*Fans self*

YOU WRITE THE BEST AOGG FICS EVER. SIGH.

I loved this whole thing, but especially the Matthew and Marilla parts.

"Well now," Matthew says, "I don't rightly know," even though he does and there aren't any Aunt Imeldas. When Anne goes off on one of her rambles like this, it seems a real shame to slow her down.

Aw I can just hear Richard Farnsworth's voice. Sniff.

And this whole exchange was just perfect!

"Oh, come now," Marilla says, trying to sound impatient. "If this were a dream, Anne Shirley, I reckon you'd have put much less geometry in it. Not to mention far fewer chores."

"Good point," Anne agrees. "Oh, Marilla. You make even sense seem wonderful sometimes."

"Why, thank you," Marilla says dryly.

Thank you so much! ♥ I am glad you liked the Matthew and Marilla parts; I hadn't given them any attention in AoGG fics yet and felt like it was finally time to start, because by jove, they make my soul all mushy like nothing else!
