Turn: The Battle of Setauket

[lydiawoodhull]

Chapter Update 11/6/21 (It’s a Miracle!!!)

As far as her father was concerned, Lydia’s current feelings for Benjamin were simply that of a heartbroken girl whose childhood sweetheart had betrayed her. But the truth of the matter was that Lydia Woodhull would always love Benjamin Tallmadge, rebel or not. 

Chapter 11 - Christmas Eve

word count: 4.5K

It was Christmas Eve. Lydia typically adored the holiday because it was usually when Ben came home. But not this year. She knew that she should feel grateful that he had somehow managed the trip for her birthday, but she knew it would not be Christmas without Ben. She knew that she must keep a cheerful facade at all times, not only for the sake of the holiday but because her father had invited her fiance to Setauket and he had accepted the invitation. Because of this, Lydia found herself busy with preparations for John Andre’s arrival.

Lydia wasn’t sure how she felt about John lodging at Whitehall. She hoped he did not have any expectations of her beyond pretending to be happy with their engagement. She wished more than anything to call it off because it was a sham and she was presently married to another man, but it was a matter of safety. Her safety. If her father knew even a fraction of the truth, he would certainly find a way to marry her off in a heartbeat or find a way to annul her marriage to Ben and then marry her off. So, she must remain silent and engaged.

I'm so excited for more Lydia! It's been a while since the last time I read a chapter of the fic, but I'm so ready for the next! I hope you've been doing well and taking care of yourself <3

Well, it has been updated! I've been okay - could be better. Hope all is well with you! :)

The chapters going forward are going to be a bit shorter, which is more manageable for me, but I should be able to update a new chapter of Of Love and War either tonight or tomorrow!

[lydiawoodhull]

Thanks to NaNo - I’ve been working bit by bit on Lydia.  Since it’s been SO long since I updated her fic, I’ll give y’all a peek as to everything I’ve written for her so far. :)

Not that Ben would approve of such actions, but it was a risk she was willing to take.  Only if to end the conflict sooner so that she might finally be a wife to Ben.

you have no control: who lives, who dies, who tells your story?

And wow Lydia and Benjamin? I don't actually watch the show but WOW you've got me so totally in love with them! I always have a soft spot for period romance but adding in the Romeo and Juliet element is just hitting all of my favourites! I love that Lydia loves Benjamin so much but I love that she's still very much her own person with her own identity — I find it so hard to find good historical romances that really show that and you've done it brilliantly!

EEEE!!! D’awww!!! Thank you for including Ben & Lydia!  This made me smile.  They were my first foray into something historical and I’m glad you liked them. :)

Anonymously (or not) tell me at least one thing you like about one of my OC pairings. :)
