Why this must be read: This AU (Matthew and Marilla are married, instead of brother and sister) takes place before Anne comes to Green Gables. It's more of a thinky double-drabble than a plotted story, though you can read between the lines to find the plot. This is Marilla, every day plain ol' Marilla, and her gentle, if naive, husband Matthew - completely believable from the first sentence. A lot of AOGG stays within certain boundaries, but when they crumble, some of the best work emerges. This is one of the best examples.

Really, the best AOGG stories come out of Yuletide, and there isn't enough of them. mk_not_r2d2 contributes to the fandom brilliantly, and defines a genre with this short work.

I highly encourage bringing a Kleenex.

I nearly keeled over in horror till I realised this was an AU, not an incestfic. Phew! Now to read it!
