A list of puns related to "John Willoughby"
I must have read it quite a while ago - maybe sometimes between 5~10 years ago. From what I can remember, the fic was unfinished and long-ish. I have also no finished reading it at that time, I think I only read one or two chapters.
[Description of what I remember]
The story takes place quite some time after the events of the book, maybe 10 years or so. Marianne has married Colonel Brandon, like in the canon, but Elinor has not married Edward, because he actually married Lucy Steel. So Elinor has remainded alone and was by now considered a spinster. In this story she is spending some time with a rich relative - not sure if Mrs Jannings or someone else - as a guest. While there she meets Willoughby again. I think Willoughby has married the rich lady, like in the canon story, but his wife has died, so he was a widower. He is also not the proud man he used to be as a youth and seem to regret the grief he has caused the Dashwoods. While Elinor still is very wary of Willoughby, she is being civil to him, and I remember they have a few discussion that makes her change her mind about him. I also remeber them talking in a greenhouse?!
From the description of the story I remember it said something along the lines: "x years after the end of the canon story, Elinor, now a spinster, meets Willoughby again, but he is quite a different person than she remebers." Or something like that.
[End Description]
I can swear this story existed once! I couldn't possibly have just imagines it myself (I'm notva writer). But I can't find it anywhere, and to be honest I can't find ANY fics at all with this pairing.
Maybe someone can help me here?
P.S.And if you know of any other fics that features this Pairing, I would be glad to read them :)
I understand they are similar but somewhat different writers. Which has more powerful feats over the other?
I think it must be Miss Taylor, whose marriage starts off the story in Emma. She'd been a governess for 16 years, so she must have been at least... 32? At the very youngest? More likely to be upward of 36. And I don't remember any remarks in the book about her being surprisingly old to have been married.
But can anyone think of anyone else?
John leaned in to the computer monitor to view the results of the latest test; he was relieved to see it held up with his theory. It had been long held true that just like energy and matter and pretty much everything else, information must be conserved. Every fundamental piece of the universe held a transcript of everything that had ever happened to it, starting from the formation of the universe, that would continue to expand to the far off inevitable heat death of it... And what was a consciousness except for an extremely complicated piece of information?
They called him mad, when he proposed that it might be possible to reconstitute all the information that had once made up a mind; told him it would be exhaustively costly to even try, that he may as well try to turn back time itself. The information may still exist, but it would be so thoroughly scattered by the time he could collect enough of it to fill in the gaps that it may as well have been destroyed. The words of his best friend rang in his ears soundlessly as his fingers achieved a significant fraction of C, skating across the keyboard like demented woodpeckers:
"You're playing God, you know that, right? This plan of yours breaks every rule nature ever made. Once a life is over that's it; no more. Please... stop before you drive yourself even madder with grief. You won't bring her back. Even if you could, she'd likely be a fraction of herself. She might even hate you for making her suffer through an existence like that. Let go, John. Nothing can turn back time." Little did his friend know, but those words would be the very spark of inspiration his grief needed to coalesce into hope.
He would be vindicated soon. This last test had confirmed the existence of a concept so foreign to even the most modern of physics that most would've said it bordered on scientific blasphemy: anti-time. The central idea of his theory was that if you could only find a part of the required information, then you could gather the rest by working backwards towards the completed whole. Normally this would be done by using deductive reasoning and physical evidence, but to reconstitute highly complex information required more drastic methodologies.
The way he planned to do it was a method he had named "Antitemporal Atomic Lattice and Energy Projection." Anti-time itself was highly difficult to work with. For one, it didn't get along well with matter. The only way to measure it was through the gravitational lensing ef

We see gossip and the resulting fall-out settle on Portman Square at Mrs. Jenning's house in London, where the Dashwood ladies end up, on Marianne's urging.
Q 1: As we found out more about Mrs. Jennings, are you surprised by her actions/reactions to the romantic fall-out or is she true to type? Did the interactions in the house go as you expected?
Q 2: A chance meeting at Gray's with their brother, John Dashwood, brings him back in the plot. How did the measure of his character add up in his interactions with Elinor? Do you find the male characters, on the whole, more obsessed with money than the usual stereotypes would assume?
Let's talk about those letters!!
Q 3: Were you surprised by the content in Marianne's letter? Was she right to be led by Willoughby's interactions with her or was she naΓ―ve in assuming more without a firmer commitment from him? We hear from others how their commitment looked finalized to those watching them. How did you find the content of his letter to her, returning her letters (and lock of hair!)? Why did he keep these mementos, if, as he implies, there was nothing serious between them? How surprised were you to find out about Willoughby's seduction and abandonment of Eliza, Colonel Brandon's young (14-15 year old!) ward?
Q 4: We see more of Elinor's sensibility as she tr

Welcome to our first discussion. Let me start by asking if you've read any other books by Jane Austen.
Q 1-If so, which ones?
The themes that are running through the story, so far, are contrasts of sense v. sensibility, love v. money and selfishness v. generosity. Let's keep an eye on these various flavors as we read on further, but let me know any thoughts you have on them so far.
And just to get the definitions of our title in all the various possibilities: Sense, Sensibility and I did go old-school and looked the words up in an actual dictionary (an old Random House College Dictionary I have), just to cover all the options, and these particular characteristics stood out to me:
Sense: 6. Any special capacity for perceptions, estimation; 7. Usually, clear and sound mental faculties; good judgement; 9. Discernment, realization or recognition; 10. Recognition of something as fitting i.e. a sense of duty; 11. Sound, practical intelligence;
Sensibility: 1.Capacity for sensation or feeling; 3. Keen consciousness or appreciation; 5. Sometimes, liability to be hurt or offended; 6. Often, capacity for intellectual and aesthetic distinctions, feelings, tastes, etc.
Q 2- Money feels like the director of the undercurrent of action in the beginning of the novel. If John Dashwood had given his step-family the originally proposed amount (3,000 pounds), would the Dashwood family have remained at Norland?
Q 3- Would Edward and Elinor have stayed together if she inherited the money? Was their relationship real or just a passing fancy?
In fact, let's join the speculation and conjecture on pairings that is such part of the social scene at Barton Park
Q 4-Who is more/less likely to get together? Which connections are "real", so far, not just in the romantic sense?
One of my favorite parts of Jane Austen's body of work is her inclusion of sharp social observations that you feel she definitely picked up from her own experience. You can see why the family censored her letters! She obviously had a sharp pen and an vigilant eye.
Q 5-Which saucy opinion (mostly Marianne's) or witty passage was your favorite? The funniest? I've got a few but I'll wait for your responses.
Any other thoughts/feelings/opinions/ observations/ declarations/ citations/criticism? We are here for them.

Well, this'll be a long boyo so have this frontloaded conclusion:
Sir John Falstaff is the man who murdered Thomas Woodstock, the Duke of Gloucester. This off-stage assassination pits the tyrannical Richard II against his future usurper, Henry Bolingbroke, and consequently sets in motion the events of both Richard II and the second tetralogy as a whole. And yet, despite the initial intrigue surrounding the murder, the audience is never granted closure. At the end of Richard II, the audience only knows that Thomas Mowbray, Duke of Norfolk was involved, and that he was likely (though not certainly) acting on Richard's orders. However, Mowbray dies off-stage before he can clear things up, and Richard is too busy lamenting his fate to confess to anything specific. Other than that, the murder of Gloucester becomes a political football utilised by power-grabbing nobles to defame their rivals in the latter half of Richard II, and then is scarcely mentioned again in the rest of the Henriad. Therefore, it is interesting that, in 2 Henry IV, Falstaff is said to have once been Mowbray's page.
Now, there are elements that could diminish the significance of this, including Falstaff's origins in the historical figure Sir John Oldcastle, but all in all I think there is meaningful textual and dramatic evidence to suggest a connection between Falstaff and the murder of Gloucester. Moreover, I just find the role of continuity in the Henriad really interesting, and thought it would be fun to go full Game Theory on Shakespeare, so this is going to be a little long but will hopefully this will at least interest if not entertain you.
I'm going to assume you've not necessarily read all of the Henriad plays in order so let's start with a bit of an overview of the important information pertaining to Gloucester's murder to explain how I ended up thinking about this crack theory.
Richard II starts with Richard overseeing a dispute between his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, and the Duke of Norfolk, Thomas Mowbray. Bolingbroke accuses Mowbray of murdering the Duke of Gloucester, another member of the royal family. Mowbray's response is weird. He fully owns up to a prior conspiracy to murder John of Gaunt (Bolingbroke's father who is standing right there) but cryptically says he "neglected [his] duty" to protect Gloucester. Mostly, Mowbray seems outraged that Bolingbroke is calling him a traitor, and agr
