This is sweet -- it's nice that Margaret found love even when she wasn't necessarily looking for it, and I especially like the idea that Margaret grows up a little wiser for the heartache her sisters went through.

Thanks :) I like to think Margaret learnt from her sisters and plotted the middle path between sense and sensibility ;)

Aw, cute! And now I want to read your fic about the Brandons and Margaret in London for the season. :)

Thanks I'm glad you liked it! I'm actually becoming quite fond of Margaret (my version of her anyway), maybes I'll write some more of her for day_by_drabble should the right prompt come up ;)

I just loved your style of writing here. It was lyrical. Almost musical. And very, very Austen.

Thank you! I'm really pleased you liked it and absolutely made up you think it was very Austen! Thanks for commenting!

I love the thought of grown-up Margaret! Being so sensible!

[katyscarlett76]

I do too! She's at a pretty impressionable age really during the book (is she supposed to be about 12/13??? I'm not quite sure but that's what I guessed) and her sisters' experiences must have some affect on her particularly Marianne's. I'm getting quite fond of this version of Margaret, I may write more about her at some point :)
