Seldom Make History (An Anne with an E/Gilbert Blythe Fan-fiction)
It has been said that "Well behaved women seldom make history."
In the case of Charlotte Brunswick, this could not be more true of a statement. After running away from her abusive and neglectful household, she survives on her own the only way she can: By pretending to be a boy. No one ever questions a boy's capabilities. A boy can be employed anywhere, doing anything, no questions asked, and while Charlotte is every bit as strong and capable as a boy...no one will allow her a chance to prove that unless she poses as one.
After being employed by the Blythe family, and telling them of her situation, she is welcomed into their home with open arms...though none of them know her true identity, except for Mr. Blythe, who is unfortunately on his death bed.
However, everything seems to shift when Orphan girl Anne Shirley moves to Avonlea and begins to show the town and the world just how capable girls can be. She may even be enough to encourage Charlotte to embrace her femininity rather than hide it.
Though with the revelation of her secret comes its own complications; namely the feelings of betayal that will inevitably be felt by her best friend Gilbert...along with the romantic feelings she's always harbored for him. The entire situation is unorthodox, and not something that a well-behaved young lady should be involved in.
But as the saying goes..
