Sense & Sensibility drabble: The Scent of Christmas [Marianne/Colonel Brandon, general]
Title: The Scent of Christmas
Author: celandineb
Fandom: Sense and Sensibility
Pairing: Marianne/Colonel Brandon
Rating: general
Length: 100 words
Summary: The first Christmas after the marriage of Marianne Dashwood to Colonel Brandon.
Note: For ancarett, who suggested Brandon, spices.
Delaford had not known such a merry Christmas for years. With Elinor's help Marianne had planned a feast to be shared between the manor and the parsonage, with the welcome additions of Mrs. Dashwood and Margaret.
For her own gift to Colonel Brandon, she stuck an apple full of cloves and wound a piece of gold ribbon around it to make a pomander for his wardrobe.
As he lifted it to catch the scent of the sweet spices, Marianne whispered her joyful news to him; and ever after they both connected the warm fragrance of cloves with their eldest child.
