Oh man, this was absolutely delightful! I've never read Anne of Green Gables fic before, but good lord, this made me smile like a loon through the entire thing and it was just so, so, SO Anne that I felt such an affection for the prose. I can't even explain it. It's like the words were her, and I just wanted to hang out with the words forever and ever and be their bosom friend. Ooooh, the way she obsessed over wanting to call the wind a zephyr! The way she refused to acknowledge her fluttery feelings for Gilbert! And oh Gilbert. Oh how he stole my heart in this. Not that he didn't have it before, but still. You captured his sweetness and his glibness and his effortless yet frustrating love for Anne Shirley so beautifully. And I love the handkerchief moment and how it was completely simple yet so very romantic because it was Anne and Gilbert and Anne romanticizes everything, and yet she refuses to consciously romanticize anything Gilbert does, while at the same time she knows it's the most romantic thing in the world. I LOVED THIS! SO MUCH! Man, now I'm going to spend my whole day watching Anne of Green Gables, aren't I? I have a ton of stuff to do. *sigh* This is entirely your fault. &hearts
