How to Be This by HimbleBo for kitnkabootle
Fandoms: Anne with an E (TV), Anne of Green Gables - L. M. Montgomery
25 Jan 2026

Summary
It was strange, she thought, that so much could change, and yet nothing around her looked any different. The kitchen wasn’t just the kitchen anymore, it was where she and Muriel had spent countless hours talking. Where the two of them had begun to learn each other. The kitchen table wasn’t just a table, but the central point from which everything else had begun.
In which we pick back up the morning after the events of "Push and Pull," and Marilla & Muriel begin to navigate their newfound love.
For kitnkabootle, because I rewatch her "this is me" Marilla/Muriel edit on a concerningly regular basis and it managed to rekindle the muse from Push and Pull with some serious energy (it only took 5-ish years).Series

Summary
If CC had a nickel for every time she got into a fight at an Indigo Girls concert, she'd have two nickels—which wasn't a lot, but it was odd that it had happened twice.
Written for the "bye mummy kiss kiss" dialogue prompt challenge.

Summary
“Did Rebecca ever do that?” I whispered, a second story unfolding within my memory of the last few months, of Mrs. Danvers’ reverence for Her: not just devotion, I now realized, but something more complicated. Deeper.
Adoration. Ardor. Need.
"No."
“But you wanted her to, didn’t you?”
She didn’t make a sound. Refused to look up at me.
“Answer me, Mrs. Danvers.” -

Summary
“Is this all your things?” Rebecca asked with revulsion. “Nothing else?”
“Yes, miss.”
Rebecca pondered this for a moment.
“That’s sort of pathetic,” she concluded, this time without any laden judgment–it was merely a fact, truly stated, and one that Mrs. Danvers could not bring herself to refute.
“I agree, miss,” she said, nodding, her face twisting in some semblance of a half-smile.

Summary
Why did everything surrounding marriage have to have its own special name? Why couldn’t it just be “her things?” Why was there not an entire separate vocabulary for men preparing for marriage?
Why had she said yes to him in the first place?
Why could she not go on as herself, only herself? -
Der macht des Todes // The Power of Death by HimbleBo

Summary
The French call it “la petite mort”—that’s what Mrs. van Hopper told me once, when she had asked if I had ever had any liaisons of my own. Before, in Monte, I hadn’t. I had never wanted to, had never found the idea all that appealing to begin with. The little death… Well, it sounded perfectly gruesome to me.
But that phrase, “la petite mort,” never left me from the moment I accepted his proposal.
In this place of dead things, though; here in Manderley, with her hands on me, I understand. -

Summary
When Lizzie frees Adele from her living burial in the barn, she sees how eager--and how broken--the poor thing is. All she wants is for her sweet girl to behave. That shouldn't be too much to ask, should it?
An alternate ending to the scene in 1x03 (Flowers). I wrote this in 2015 and it's been sitting in a dark dusty corner of my Google Drive since then because I was embarrassed by it, but now it's 2021 and we're all fully off the rails so I thought I might as well post it (especially since the LIZZIE the Musical fandom has grown so much). -

Summary
After Mrs. Lynde says some hurtful things at church, Marilla and Muriel have tea together anyway. It's become their routine. Besides, Marilla doesn't mind the fact that her friend wears trousers (if she were being honest, they were quite becoming on her). When Marilla breaks out her infamous currant wine, the emotions start to flow. Memories come back. Foundations shift by degree. In the dark, warm parlor of Green Gables, sat on the sofa next to Muriel, Marilla finally understands.

Here's a little quick write. I'm gonna try and start doing these more often so I can get in the habit of writing every day, and at some point they'll become a warmup exercise before working on a few longer pieces I've had planned for awhile. -

Summary
“Oh but darling…” She slid her hand down to squeeze Therese's arm. “The trouble is, I like to indulge you.” Carol breathed out. “It’s not a vice if I’m indulging you.” Her grip on Therese’s arm shifted, her fingernails trailing down the pale skin to her hand and leaving goosebumps in their wake. “And I would particularly like to see you in it.”
