Why this must be read:

This epic 19th century farmhand AU builds a world far from canon, populates it with all our guys, and manages to be every bit as real and painful as the mini. It's not a light story, by any means, but it's a great one, full of rich detail and unbelievable UST. Gorgeous and haunting.

Nate arrives in Mathilda in late August. The harvest is in full swing and farmers are too busy to think about the school or the schoolmaster they hired to come all the way from Boston. Apparently Schwetje's wife doesn't want him in the house in town after all. They tell him he'll have to board with Brad Colbert out on his farm, since Brad has built a house and it's grand enough for a Harvard man.
