His sister unhoused them, his mother insulted them, and his brother-in-law (their half-brother) stood by and let it happen. What right does Edward have to the Dashwoods' hospitality? He feels this keenly, especially considering the secret he keeps from almost all...</p><p>~~~~~~</p><p>This is my silly little headcanon made real. I've spent so much time thinking about this book (and all of Austen's works, really), that I'm surprised this is the first JA fanfic I've written. If you're reading this, I have no idea why. But thank you anyway!<br />Gifted to cupidsintern because without them I would never have posted this <33</p>
