A ficlet of the Austen kind

I recently rewatched the 1995 Sense & Sensibility film, then went looking for fanfiction of Marianne & Brandon’s romance, since there is so very little of what happened between them at the end of the film ( which is fair because I believe there’s even less in the book, but still!) Lots of great fics out there, obviously, but none of them did exactly what I wanted them to, so I had to write my own version. It's sort of an alternate/expanded ending, I suppose. Thought I'd share, just in case anyone was interested :)
