Inspired by Jane Austen's Emma. There are always two sides to a story. Let's hear Knightley's version.

It's intended to be more short stories from George Knightley's POV as Emma fans already know what happens. I didn't want to re-write what was already known or written (I would highly recommend reading Emma first). In the future I plan to connect it into a novel.

The Choices I've Made (By the Bay #1) by authorjlberg

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.

What's Wrong with Emma? by writelover86

I was happy with all the simple things I had, cherishing the way life flowed effortlessly, never complaining or asking for more. Everything felt normal. Everything was beautiful. Everything was perfect-until it unexpectedly turned worse. Just like that, without warning and without preparation. Destiny proved to be merciless. It stripped me of all the precious things I held dear, leaving me with nothing. Emma Anderson had lost her zest for life after an accident that shattered her world. She tried to start anew, but the nightmares of that fateful day haunted her, lurking in the shadows of her mind. Things grew even more complicated when she unexpectedly crossed paths with her childhood friend again. He resurrected all the bitter memories she desperately sought to forget. Jason Williams had always taken Emma for granted, viewing her merely as a friend. But as life unfolded, they lost touch, and the void left behind felt insurmountable. After dating countless girls, Jason came to a profound realization: Emma was the only one who had ever loved him for who he truly was, not for his wealth or fame. He missed his old friend. Now that she had reentered his life, he was determined to rekindle their friendship. But what would happen when he discovered that the girl he once knew was no longer the same? What changes had taken place during the years they spent apart?

Sincerely Yours by tehyayoung

In 1800s England, a well-meaning but selfish young woman will do anything to avoid matrimony to the county's finest suitors and to justly prove she doesn't need a husband to find her way in society. Even under the peril of her uncle losing his property and business to debt. In all but two months, she must prove to her family she's more than capable without a husband and can, in fact, exceed society's expectations of the female sex. But what woman can write what she hardly knows of the world, and its secrets? And most of all, how far is she willing to prove herself toward society and the Lord? At what cost for love? Maxmillian Knightley has returned from university in London, now facing the looming title of marquis. With that title comes responsibility to interact with those he despises most, and with which he must fight for his inheritance. But how far will he go in order to grow favor in the scrutiny of society and his stiff-neck father? He may be everything a woman of the ton looks for in a husband - titled, wealthy, and cheek bones that can draw in any woman - but he is in no mood to humor eligible women by participating in all things reformed. The question is: how far will he go to do everything against his own sensibility and judgment? For inheritance ... or for loyalty and love? The only common enlightenment between two entirely different sexes? A fondness for penmanship and our humorous Lord who writes the very novelty of life itself. And what happens if proving oneself leads to something quite worse? When it comes to love, making the right choices, these two are their own worst enemies.

Covet - Miles Bridgerton's story by miss_islemeadow

Geoffrey Dorset has always shared everything with his best friend, Miles Bridgerton, except for the fact that he has been hopelessly and unrequitedly in love with him from the first day they began studying together at Cambridge. After both Geoffrey's and Miles' marriage plans fail due to Miles' older brother's affair with Geoffrey's fiancé, Miles flees to Vienna and abandons Geoffrey to deal with the aftermath alone. Sworn to forget about Miles, and perhaps even about his inclination towards other men in general, Geoffrey marries and even fathers a child. But when Miles returns to England after having spent nearly two years abroad, their rekindled relationship seems to quickly evolve beyond friendship into something much more perilous... How can a budding romance survive in a hostile world that is set upon obliterating all men like Geoffrey? And is it really worth risking one's dearest friendship for a thin hope of a chance for something even greater?
