What if Marilla and Matthew had adopted a boy? Who would Anne have become without Green Gables and all it represented? What of Gilbert growing up without the one who is his touchstone? How are they different and yet which things remain blissfully similar? And who is that red haired girl at Redmond? Sometimes Providence catches up with you. Traditional in tone; AU in concept!

In this modern AU, a present day Anne begins to experience very realistic dreams of incidences in another life nearly a century and a half before. Is it her imagination or a remembered reality? Is she tied to the past life of her ancestor and namesake Anne Shirley? Does love carry on through the ages? Content Warning: past lives, death/rebirth, souls, spirituality.

The spark of hope that flashed in Gilbert's eyes at Convocation had been dashed by the refusal of a simple dance. But what if Anne was to refuse something - and someone - else? And he was there to see it? A reimagining of the end of Anne of the Island, by way of Wonderland.

The year is '08 and Frederick Wentworth has returned to Kellynch. How will Anne Elliot take the news? What about the formidable Lady Russel and the smitten Charles Musgrove? Written as a follow on from 'When I Returned to England' but can also be read as a stand alone.

History hinges on little things. A proposal averted, a football game that someone was not meant to attend. When Anne and Gilbert begin their junior year, a mishap of Blythe/Shirley proportions threatens to undo everything that the two of them have worked for. The only way to get out of the resulting mess is the same way they got into it- together.

This is a story of how Anne of the Island, and subsequently Anne and Gilbert's days at Redmond, might unfold if the roles were reversed and Anne was the one pining for Gilbert while he was the one blissfully oblivious to her (and his own) feelings.

Gilbert Blythe is a little late to a party. But when he crashes into an unexpected pair at a crucial moment, he realizes being on time is overrated. Well, he realizes that for the most part, at least.

A close-to-canon story that imagines what happened between the pages - and during the summer - at the end of 'Anne of the Island', taking place from the time of Gilbert's near-death and recovery to his second proposal to Anne... and a little beyond! It begins at 'A Book of Revelation' and features the perspectives of both Anne and Gilbert.

Anne and Gilbert's M-rated wedding night and honeymoon moments from my story 'Let Love clasp Grief lest both be drown'd'. From both Anne and Gilbert's perspective, this is my contribution to that romantic, impassioned time that LMM left as a frustratingly blank canvas, as our two learn about themselves and one another. It contains a three-chapter arc. And a fair bit of Keats!

In the aftermath of World War I, Shirley, Carl, and Una face a new world that wasn't made for any of them. Together, they must face monsters of all shapes and kinds if they hope to win their happiness. A sequel to Glen Notes, Dispatches, and One Hour to Madness and Joy.

The Blythe and Meredith children are growing up, making friends, finding love, writing ill-advised poetry. Happiness is assured; war is unthinkable. A series of vignettes set between Rainbow Valley and Rilla of Ingleside.

"I did not become a nurse to help people. It is, simply put, the only thing I am actually any good at. Or no, that's not right, is it? It is, to be precise, the only thing I am better at than my sisters. That, then, is what set me on this path. And the path has led me right here." A different take on Rilla Blythe's war as an army nurse in war-torn Europe.

Anne regretted the way things were left after Gilbert proposed much sooner. Realising that Roy isn't right for her she is starting to ponder what is right around about the time of Diana's wedding. Ever the scientist, Gilbert sets out to show her what she's not seeing - love. Will a mutual change of attitude and a bit of fairy tale magic change the path of these two?

Golden Days is a collection of episodes that I imagine happened between the pages of Anne of Avonlea. Anne and Gil's deepening friendship had to have been a pretty amazing thing, and I always felt they deserved more page time! These are stand-alone chapters, and are not in chronological order. I am adding to these gradually, so you never know when one will pop up!

Gilbert Blythe couldn't live without Anne Shirley. But what if he had to? This AU asks what Gilbert would do if he lost Anne forever before they were married. Part I: "Within a Forest Dark" and Part II: "The Sun and the Other Stars." Content Warning: death, grief, anxiety

Gilbert has been the town's doctor since the death of his uncle, and finds himself now confronting his past and an Anne barely recognisable as the girl he once loved. Old feelings begin to resurface and the two of them must unravel the grief of the past to start again.

AU story that begins at the very end of Anne of Avonlea and imagines what might have happened if Anne had realized, at least in part, her feelings for Gilbert before they left for Redmond.

"'Sometimes I feel like I don't even know him at all.' She doesn't realize she's said it out loud until she does. A click of his tongue. 'Get to know him then.' She remembers, now, why she never used to go to him for advice."

This story begins at the final chapter of Anne of Avonlea and follows Gilbert's point of view through to the end of Anne of the Island. From those hopeful first two years at Redmond, Gilbert's heartbreak when Anne refuses him, his determination to win the Cooper Prize, his joy at finally winning Anne's love and the first blissful week of their engagement.

When Tomorrow Comes is the sequel to my AU, One More Day With You. It follows Anne and Gilbert after their engagement, until the summer after the two of them graduate. With prizes yet to be won and dreams to explore, Anne and Gilbert work together to prepare for whatever awaits them around the next bend in the road.

This is an AU story for Anne of the Island…. What if Gilbert never proposed in the Patty's Place orchard? How would things have unfolded when Gilbert and Anne are still very much friends when Anne meets Roy Gardner? What happens when Anne has both Gilbert and Roy vying for her affection?

what does Gilbert really make of their lives, set in the days running up t their 15th Anniversary and that trip to Europe for a second honeymoon! I'd advise very late teens, I'll keep an eye on the rating!

The story is complete, it's sequel is the soon to come 'When Tomorrow Comes'. I hope you enjoy this, please review!

Gilbert's letters to Anne in Anne of Windy Poplars (Willows). I'm not attempting to write every letter back. These are taking more time then I thought because I would imagine he would write back in response to Anne and what she was going through so I'm having to read the book at the same time very very slowly. Feel free to review I think i may need the support!

This is the first direction I took OMDWY, and contains alternate chapters 6-9. I resolved the plot very early in this one, but when I decided to change it, I wanted to keep the original somewhere... This is somewhere! Moving new timeline chapters up now.

This is the story of what might have happened between the last two chapters of Anne of the Island, between A Book of Revelation and Love Takes up the Glass of Time. We know that Gilbert comes quite often to Green Gables after his recovery. But what exactly happened between him and Anne that gives him the courage to "try again."

This story explores what might have happened after Convocation had Phil not mentioned the gossip about Gilbert almost being engaged to Christine. Anne would not have torn off Gilbert's necklace. Would that have been enough for Gilbert to try again? It has much more from Gilbert's perspective. This was inspired by LMM and fellow fan-fiction writers and their creative stories.

Short snap shots into the insights of married life. Far too little was shown of Anne's and Gilbert's relationship and I don't mean THAT side (although...!) but just every day kind of things. I hope you enjoy them! Includes my previously published stories, Imagine and the Sickness, both chapters are named as such so feel free to skip them! Not particularly in any order!

L.M. Montgomery left much of Anne and Gilbert's relationship through all of the books to the imagination, with tantalizing little lines here and there. These stories will add some color to the empty spaces.

A filling in of the gap left by LMM in Anne of Windy Poplars, Year 2, Chapter 6. With a nod to both LMM's cannon and the excellent apocrypha on this site. My small first attempt at going Between the Lines. I refer you to Bertha Willis' original for a much more accomplished version. This is my first attempt at fan fic and my first attempt at fiction in about 25 years, so be gentle.

Anne and Gilbert have one week together after their engagement before they go their separate ways. This is the story of those sweet first days.

It's the morning after Anne and Gilbert have dinner with Christine at the end of Anne of Ingleside, and Gilbert regrets having taken Anne for granted. And he wants her to know how much he still loves her.

Anne Shirley has loved Gilbert Blythe all her life. Did he really need to catch the fever for her to realize it, or is there another scenario that would have brought he and Anne together? This time, Gilbert takes control of his own destiny. This is an alternate ending to Anne of the Island—a little more tension, a little more humor, and of course... a little more romance!

We know that Rilla has always been interested in Ken, but when did Ken start seeing Rilla differently?

Mr. Murry might be short-sighted but not short-sighted enough to have missed the kiss on Ixchel.

Calvin O'Keefe had woken up exactly 5,879 times in his life but never like this. Oneshot
