Fanny: A Mansfield Park Story | 
pickThank you @bookandbedandtea for bringing this Mansfield Park story to my attention. I really enjoyed it. I always thought that Henry Crawford seemed to be redeemable and this alternate ending allowed him the growth to achieve it and become a decent character. I was also not-so-secretly satisfied with Edmund's ultimately unhappy marriage to Mary. He was always so blind to her faults that it makes sense he would think he could change her and fail

peanutnine I've decided that this is now how Mansfield Park ends, at least in my head 😅 #JaneAustenThenAndNow @Crinoline_Laphroaig 3mo
Ruthiella I‘d have preferred this ending too. I guess I like to believe in the redeemable bad boy. 😂 3mo
Austen_meets_Annie Love this! 3mo
bookandbedandtea @peanutnine @Ruthiella I agree that I much prefer this ending! I always felt that Henry came to see Fanny more clearly than anyone & I think they would have been very happy together under the right circumstances. Which would have to be: a lot of soul searching on Henry's part & Edmund's continued belief that his influence would erase those aspects of Mary that concerned him. 😄 In this book, I think all four of them ended up where they should! 3mo
