They’d shared a two minute conversation during which she’d managed to call him stupid a number of different times in an exciting variety of ways. And still, he’d found himself sat behind the typewriter (...) as he wrote about anything. But kindly it wasn’t about anything. Mostly it was about her, in some way or another. Or rather, the feeling of her.
THIS. This is so in line with the canon. I immediately thought of the scene during the conservatory ball. Kate gives her monologue, tearing Anthony to pieces and he is completely smitten with her from the get-go.
I bet he still has the initial pages written way back then. Maybe they even made it to Snow Filled Paper? But the originals are surely hidden in his desk: yellowed, crumpled and tattered, since Anthony has been rereading them all over again.
A version of some of them are in Snow Filled Paper but most of them are tucked away in Anthony’s desk drawer, folded and unfolded and tearing at the edges.
Anthony takes them out and reads them from time to time and Kate has no idea they even exist until they’re nearly two months into their relationship and she’s looking for something else in his desk. She finds them in an old tin from the Jane Austen Museum and it makes her chuckle as she opens it. It’s such an Anthony thing to own, and she can’t resist knowing what’s inside.
There’s a lot of things in there from there uni days actually, there’s a coaster with the mark of a beer bottle from the pub they used to go to with their friends and there’s a daisy chain that’s been pressed into a notebook that has Anthony’s thoughts in. She chuckled as she read
Grow moustache? Might look cultured and distinguished? Set me apart from D.
Her brow furrowed as she looked at the D printed there, trying to remember who that might have been. She moved on, unfolding one of the sheets of paper at the back and her heart stuttered in her chest.
It was about her, she was sure it was. She remembered the day he’d written about, when they’d met in the library to work on their assignment and her breath caught at the way he described it.
“Are you snooping?”
She dropped the paper in surprise looking up to see Anthony leaking against the doorway, sipping a cup of tea.
“Maybe a little?”
She held up the pages, “Did you really feel this way about me?”
Anthony groaned, leaning against the edge of the desk, “please don’t read that. I was still finding my style.”
“I like it.” She said gently, pressing her lips to his. “It’s very sweet.”
“I… Please don’t read too far. I think in that one I used the phrase Aphrodite would be a poor muse compared with her.”
Kate bit back a laugh, “I’m obsessed with this.”
“Is there anything I can do to convince you not to read it?” Anthony wiggled his eyebrows, “I’d be willing to show you just how close you are to Aphrodite.”
Kate hummed, tapping her finisher on her chin. “Tell me who D is? I don’t remember you being friends with a D in uni. But you fucking hate him.”
Anthony raised his eyebrows, “You don’t know a D from first year?”
It dawned on her and her mouth fell open with a gasp, “Oh you wanted to grow a moustache to set you apart from Dan?!”
He flushed, “He had a motorbike and I was jealous! He was dating my dream girl.”
“That’s very sweet.”
Anthony hummed, leaning into her, “Would the moustache have worked?”
Kate grimaced, “It would have set this timeline back at least 5 years. Now I might be into it.”
“Interesting.”

Omg I can totally see Kate getting a fidget ring to wear for Anthony to play with 🥹
https://x.com/brokebackboys/status/1783011823845097597?s=46
Mile High Kate definitely would. And can you imagine when he looks down and realizes the ring on her thumb is spinning where he normally rubs circles against her skin while they’re standing in line at a coffee shop.
“Ant, what do you want, Babe?”
Anthony startled at the sound of his name, Kate and the Barista both looking expectantly at him. “I um…” he spun the ring on her thumb a few more times. “Just my regular, it’s not a new things day.”
Kate finished ordering and kissed him quickly before she tugged him to the side to wait still not saying anything about the ring on her hand. Anthony swallowed.
“You have a ring.”
Kate chuckled, leaning against the wall, “Not yet, I’m waiting for him to propose.” She gave him a wink and Anthony smiled despite himself.
“I meant on your thumb.”
Kate shrugged, “I read that they were really good for anxiety, and I know that you’re not a jewellery kind of guy so I got one for me to wear.”
Months ago, when they’d first started all of this it might have made him embarrassed, or angry, or anything in between. Mortified that she’d noticed but her eyes were so gentle when they looked at him. Soft and understanding and he knew this was just another way Kate was telling him she loved him.
“Do you not like?”
Anthony swallowed the lump in his throat, is thumb absentmindedly spinning the circle on her finger. “I um… I like it. I love you obviously as well.”
She smiled at him, leaning forward to press their lips together gently, “Yeah, I love you obviously too.”

Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think it’s Lavender Haze Anthony, Viscount Daddy. He’s in his comfortable in his skin era now that he’s with Kate and their his and hers Aston Martins and a little couch for her dog in the living room.
He’s living his best life. He’s thriving.

Ok I’m a sap but poor baby uni student Anthony. That love at first sight or the literal fall have got him actually loco already. Iconic. I am here yet again begging for a snippet a crumb of happier times in these two’s future to sustain us through these angsty times. Peace and gratitude as per ✌🏼
Oh boy, imagine how excited Anthony would be to share the story of how they met with their children though.
He’d sit with Neddy on his chest, flat out on the sofa, nose to nose with his three week old son.
“Neddy boy, let Papa tell you a story. It’s the greatest love story that was ever told.”
“If it’s Wuthering Heights, I’ll scream.” Kate said from the floor beside him, watching them carefully as she folded washing.
Anthony scoffed, “Heathcliff and Cathy have absolutely nothing on us, thank you. Now, When Papa was young and virile-”
“Don’t say virile to our son”
“Me being virile is how he came to be. It’s pertinent.” Anthony plotted on, “Let me tell my story please, I’m an award winning author. I know how to tell a story.”
“Oh, by all means, proceed then master wordsmith.” Kate chuckled, running her hand over Neddy’s hair gently.
“Thank you for calling me a master wordsmith.” Anthony said quickly, kissing Neddy’s forehead before he continued. “When Papa was young, he was playing a game with Uncle Simon, he looked very cool doing it by the way. And while he was playing this game he ran into the prettiest girl you’ve ever seen in your life.”
“You trampled her is what you did.”
“There was minor trampling, Neddy, it’s true.” Anthony allowed, “And I fell in love with Amma right away but she didn’t care for poor old Papa. She thought he was an idiot, a fool, a buffoon.”
“I don’t think buffoon is fair, I had narrowly escaped with my life.”
“Semantics. Anyway, Papa waited and waited and they became best friends and finally Papa wrote a book to tell Mummy how much he loved her and finally she fell in love with him too.”
“I loved you much sooner than that.” Kate scoffed, Kissing Anthony’s cheek. “You know that.”
Anthony squinted one eye at her, “How soon would you say?”
Kate scrunched her face up at her husband, “We’ve had this conversation before, you really want me to tell you?”
“I always love to hear how irresistible I was to you.”
She flicked the end of his nose playfully, “I think I started falling in love with you that first night at that seedy pub not far from my dorm. You had written me a short story, because I made that crack about you being a bad writer and I… Well, I’m glad I was wrong. It was beautiful, and… you… had no reason to write that for me. You had no reason to have it in your bag that day and you slid it under my glass when I was at the bar and… I never would have said it at the time but I’m glad you ran into me that day. I’m glad I met you. Almost every thing good I have in my life is because of you and I love you.”
Anthony swallowed the lump in his throat. “We did make a great baby. I don’t think it’s any exaggeration to say he’s a genius.”
“Clearly not.”

Did Kate ever have a specific person in mind for Sarah? An ex she knew or a nameless person from before she was Anthony’s editor.
We’re going to see more of this as we head towards the next chapter (it will continue in this pattern: Anthony present, Anthony flashback, Kate present, Kate flashback)
Kate doesn’t really know who it’s about and that’s part of what stings for her. She thought she knew everything about Anthony. She thought they were so close these days, he’s literally her best friend. And here he is dedicating this beautiful book to someone else. And she knows nothing about it. It fucking hurts. She told him about going out with a guy who asked her if he could X-ray her after dinner. And yet he hasn’t said anything about this to her.
It feels so… fucking stupid to be jealous of a woman she only knows as a fictional character but she also desperately doesn’t want to know who this book is about. Because it’s not her, and the way this book is written it feels like forever and she’ll have to finally admit that nothing’s ever going to happen between her and Anthony. So right now she’d rather not know.

Heyo Molly, I am so enjoying the glimpses into your life recently, you have such a witty way about you!
I'm just seeing Kanthony in a Sitcom called "Dirty and (almost) 30" or something sharing your adulting-experiences. They keep bumping into each other like comparing thread count of new-bathtowel-contenders, running with their hydration vests, buying educational storybooks for friends/siblings kids or responsibly sitting in the waiting room for their dental cleaning where they bond over lawn mover upkeep or something. Just thriving as grown-ups - just like you are!
That fact that I have managed to fool you into believing I’m thriving in adulthood is hilarious to me. I am embarrassed filling up the fuel can for my mower, Mate. I find that embarrassing for some reason.
Anyway, that’s not a problem Kate and Anthony have I don’t think. They’re 100% thriving, comparing reviews of lawn mowers and dutifully taking it in to be serviced and the blades sharpened. And you know Anthony has a thread count minimum on his bed sheets which is something Kate doesn’t think she’s supposed to find sexy, but she sort of does. She finds it really sexy that Anthony has a starch spray he uses on his collars when he irons and he wears an apron in the kitchen and she can talk to him about the nutritional content of Kale without him getting bored. Anthony B’s a catch.

Why does it seems inherently mortifying to buy petrol for a mower?
“Like yeah just this 5L thanks mate.”
And my stupid little fuel can’s on the floor while I fill it up. So mortifying!
