𝐀 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐁𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 || Gilbert Blythe x Oc ||

Lydia Miller has spent her life searching for stability, never truly belonging anywhere-until the Barry family welcomes her into their home. Leaving behind the ghosts of her past, she travels to Avonlea, Prince Edward Island, alongside her best friend Anne Shirley, who has also found a new family. In this quiet town of rolling hills and close-knit traditions, Lydia hopes for a fresh start.

But fitting in is easier said than done. Reserved and fiercely independent, Lydia struggles to open up, haunted by the fear of abandonment and the memories of the past she refuses to speak of. Despite her sharp mind and academic excellence, she keeps others at a distance, guarding her heart behind walls she has spent years building.

Then there's Gilbert Blythe-witty, confident, and frustratingly charming. Their rivalry in the classroom is instant, a battle of intelligence and stubbornness that neither wants to lose. But as time passes, their playful competition transforms into something deeper, something Lydia isn't sure she's ready for.

As she navigates friendship, love, and the echoes of a painful past, Lydia must decide if she will let her fears define her or if she will embrace the life she has always longed for. Because sometimes, a new beginning isn't just about where you are-it's about who you choose to become.
