One thing the novelisation does with heartbreaking clarity is make it abundantly apparent that Sidney is miserable without Charlotte. He is deeply unhappy about his engagement to Mrs. C and is still very much in love with Charlotte.
If we don’t get a second season to fix this I’m going to have to riot.

Favorite Things: SANDITON Edition
For some reason, the first season officially ending its television run over here in The States has bummed me out even more, despite my having properly finished the season weeks ago and having already completed at least 5 full re-watches at this point.
I guess it just feels extra scary now about the fate of our dear Sanditonians? Sanditonites? Regency Cinnamon Rolls? Whatever you want to call them - I have this odd feeling of missing them even though I can watch them pretty much anytime I want. Is that weird? Am I weird? Don’t answer that!
Anyway, here’s a random, probably anachronistic list of some of my favorite Sanditon moments & things....
Every adorable Charlotte smile
The way Sidney says “Miss Heywood” whether in annoyance, anger, or secret desire
“New maid?”
Every annoyed Charlotte look - Rose has SUCH an exquisitely expressive face!
THAT SIDNEY EYEROLL
The way Sidney growls “What is it?”
The way Sidney softly questions “What is it?” to Charlotte when she’s birthing the Regatta idea
The way Charlotte & Sidney look so good standing or walking next to each other - they just look like they belong together forever
Young Stringer’s cartoonish accent in comparison to every other character’s “standard” English accent
When Esther’s all “hey you wanna walk with me” and Charlotte agrees but is too slow and Esther looks back at her after literally 3 paces like “BITCH, KEEP UP”
When Esther tells Charlotte she is “that bitch who will poison another bitch in my way” and Esther doesn’t break eye contact or her stride
Arthur talking about eating 6 or 7 slices of toast on the reg like it’s NBD
Arthur offering to make Charlotte some toast
The way Crow yells “BABERS!!” repeatedly
Crow just being an unapologetic drunken fuckboi
The Sidlotte pineapple luncheon party scene - especially how sweet it is that Sidney’s serving Charlotte soup
Arthur having about enough of Lady D’s insolence at his future BFF, Georgiana, and ravaging that rotten ass pineapple in vengeance
When Lady D calls out “Mr. Parker” and all three brothers turn around in unison - each one with their distinct personalities showing through
Tom and Sidney dressing alike for the Regatta - so cute
Basically the whole Cricket match & when Tom says “I really don’t think I am[out]!” (The timbre of his voice sounds exactly like how he spoke in "Love Actually" and I am always here for “Colin - God of Sex!” (But also FUCK TOM PARKER FOREVER, THO)
The way Sidney looks confused and aroused when Charlotte roasts him at the luncheon + tells him to STFU - she’s trying to concentrate - during The Cricket
How Sidney goes from stoic to cinnamon roll throughout 8 glorious episodes
Sidney’s soft voice
Georgiana not giving an ounce of a fuck about Edward & her immunity to his charms
"Who is your favorite poet?"
When it doesn't look like the laborers will show for The Cricket and Edward's all "CAN WE GO?!"
Every perfect thing Babington says to Esther
Esther's hair when she wears it down
The smile Esther gives when she & Lady D are playing cards after she didn't die
All the satin looks for the rich ladies (Georgi & Eliza's bitch ass)
All the WIND
The ROWING SCENE
The way Sidney says "Come on" to get Charlotte in the boat
THAT FUCKING ROWING SCENE
Sidney taking liberties and stealing body touches during that entire scene
"Keep your back straight..." & the impish laugh after he'd gotten away with such an intimate touch
Dr. Fuchs needing actual liquor to deal with Arthur & Diana's silly asses
WET SIDNEY
Charlotte's luscious wavy hair at the start of Ep 8
The Truest Self speech
All of Sidney's side eyes & spying on Charlotte's Young Stringer interactions
Young Stringer's bestie - that dude has balls and is so ride or die! Always supporting his bud in the fiercest way
The way The Beaufort girls say "Mr. Hankins"
The way the Beaufort girls always fawn over Sidney
"Admiral Heywood" - that whole adorable ass scene
Sidney's constant posing
The London carriage scenes with Char & Sid as a whole
The London carriage scene where Sidney emphatically says "I-COULD- NOT-HAVE-BEEN-ANY-CLEAR-ER..." That sounds EXACTLY how I imagine Theo actually argues IRL with people 😂
All the dancing
The brothel scene
Honestly - every Char & Sid scene is what I live for
Lady Denham ROASTING TOM'S USELESS NO-INSURANCE-HAVING ASS
Mary being so wrecked that Charlotte is leaving
Lady Susan's EVERYTHING
THAT👏MOTHER👏FUCK👏ING👏KISS
Sidney being awkward as fuck in general - but especially pre-💋
Charlotte being inquisitive & speaking her mind respectfully but also telling Sidney he sucks when he deserves it
The Char & Georgi friendship
Young Stringer & team winning the Regatta
Every profile shot of Sidney - good lord Theo is good from every angle!
BASICALLY ALL OF IT
Even though things are up in the air and I often say to myself "I kind of wish I never watched Sanditon..." (because FEELS, y'all) I'm so so so glad I did. I haven't been touched by a show or story or characters like this in a very long time. They will always be with me, I will always have random Sanditon quotes and scenes and images in my brain, and I will adore and cherish this series for the rest of my life.
FINGERS STILL MASSIVELY CROSSED THAT THE GODS BE KIND AND GIVE US A PROPER ENDING IN A SECOND SEASON.

Sandtion: The Sense and sensibility connection - a meta collab with @and-holly-goes-lightly
As some of you may have gathered, @and-holly-goes-lightly and I are salt mates (this is a tumblr term I have learned only recently and am planning to run into the ground. You have been forwarned. I don’t want any complaints down the line!)
It all started about a year ago, with this:
And progressed steadily until we ended up here:
Occasionally, between ogling pictures of naked men, we discuss serious issues as well. Those end up as metas for your consumption, most of the time.
It’s a colaboration that works well. I write long metas, she writes really good ones. We enjoy. We have fun.
Given that we both obssesively analyze tv content and that we tend to reach about the same conclusions, we have been planning on doing some project together for a while now.
I think if 2 months ago someone had told us that Sanditon would be the tv show that would see us join writing forces, we would have been more than a little shocked.
But here we are … hoplessly obssessed with Austen’s unfinished novel and ITV’s unfinished tv show (get the hint, ITV?!?! I hope you do. Chop, chop! You can’t live on Downton Abbey reruns for the rest of time, you know)
So on this most special of days, @and-holly-goes-lightly and I bring you the motherload of Sandtion metas. Two crazy writers, one tv show, one simple title:
Sandtion: The Sense and Sensibility connection
It’s no surprise to anyone, at this point, that Andrew Davies wears his Austen influences on his sleeve in Sanditon. You can find easter eggs for most of Austen’s work, from the famous Pride and Prejudice to the obscure Lady Susan.
However, Sense and Sensibility seems to be one work that hasn’t insipired much comparison from the fandom. And it’s perhaps for that reason that Sandion’s last two episodes were so hard to digest and why so many question marks were raised in regards to Charlotte’s characterization.
In this project we aim to dispel some of that confusion and attempt to put into prespective the character arcs of both Sidney and Charlotte in:
Sidlotte: A parallel journey between Sense and Sensibility by @fortunatelylori
As well as delve deeper into Charlotte’s POV through out the season finale in:
Charlotte Heywood - From Sensibility to Sense by @and-holly-goes-lightly
We hope you enjoy our take. Please don’t forget to leave us your comments in the reply section. This is a new format for us and we’d love to hear from you on how you like this kind of collaborative work.
Sidlotte: A parallel journey between Sense and Sensibility
As I was reading the now infamous Theo James interview, I was reminded of the “unusual” visual representation of Sanditon. It really does look quite different to most Austen adaptations which are defined by the sunny, sanitized domesticity of the English garden.
Sanditon doesn’t look like that. It’s rough and a little wild. It presents a world in the throes of change, with gales, nudity and darkness lurking around the corners. I think it’s those visual cues that made Theo link it to Wuthering Heights with its Yorkshire gloomy moors and harsh winds.
But that just goes to show you Mr. James has not done his proper Andrew Davies research (Tsk, tsk, me thinks he will need to do a few more nude scenes to atone for it) because the wind swept beaches, the wilderness of the English countryside, the cowboy motif? They all go back to this:
I imagine the visual style of Sense and Sensibility 2008 was in part generated by an attempt to separate it from the very famous 1995 version (the quintessential sunny English countryside film) and in part as a response to the earthier approach Joe Wright took for his now very influential version of Pride and Prejudice (2005).
But I do think Sanditon owes more to S&S 2008 than just its visuals. I’ve talked about this in the past but Sanditon, to me, is really Davies’ homage to Austen’s entire body of work so the more you dig and analyze, the more similarities and parallels you are going to find between Sanditon, its characters and the rest of the Austenverse (I really hope this is just a thing I say in a sarcastic way on tumblr. Not everything needs to be a –verse, people!).
Episode 8 really brought this theory into focus for me. In my review I said that the finale marked the tonal shift of the story from the naïve, hopeful and mostly comedic territory of Northanger Abbey and Pride and Prejudice towards the darker, more reflective tone of Persuasion and Sense and Sensibility.
Of course, comedy and witticisms are a core trait of all of Austen’s work. Her voice is so powerful that she is always an extra character in her own stories. However, Persuasion and S&S are also permeated with a sense of loss and angst that her other works don’t really have.
They’re more mature I suppose one could say. And it’s that maturity that plays a role in the shift that occurred in the season finale of Sanditon. Because Sanditon is really all about Charlotte Heywood. We enter this world with her and we follow her coming of age story throughout the season. And that story is marked by a pretty steep transition from the romantic, hopeful heroine represented by Marianne Dashwood to her restrained, sensible sister, Eleanor.
One of the things I liked the most about S&S 2008 was how much more balanced its view on Marianne and Eleanor was. In the 1995 film, it always felt as if Marianne was presented as a cautionary tale while Eleanor was the heroic nurturing woman who endures everything stoically and is rewarded for her restraint in the end.
But that’s not really, to my mind, the message Jane Austen would like us to get out of S&S. Just like with Pride and Prejudice, Austen is shining a light on the folly of both extreme sense and as well as extreme sensibility. It is not wise to jump head first into situations having only Lord Byron’s poems as your guide but it’s also equally unwise to constrain yourself to the point where you are unable to confide in anyone, to the point where you deny your feelings and end up a passive participant to your own life.
With Charlotte Heywood, we get to explore both those behavioral patterns.
The change from Marianne to Eleanor doesn’t occur in episode 8, by the way. It occurs at the end of episode 6 and carries through to the finale. That’s why people, including myself, were taken aback by Charlotte’s apparent change in demeanor in episode 7, from the girl who always spoke her mind (even when she shouldn’t) and wore her heart on her sleeve to the outwardly detached, apprehensive young woman who was waiting for the other shoe to drop even as the man she loved was about to propose to her.
It would be easy to blame this transition on poor execution and I do believe the shift was too sudden and it was a mistake to have it start off screen (in between episode 6 and episode 7). However, the arc itself is not a mistake and it’s actually very clever.
For one because it allows us to explore this story both from the naïve, romantic perspective as well as the angst filled one.
Secondly, and most importantly, because it works in tandem with Sidney’s arc, who is going through the exact opposite journey from the emotionally repressed outlier to the open hearted tormented hero, representative of the Byronic romantic ideal.
What was supposed to happen is that by the end of episode 8, Sidney and Charlotte would meet in the middle, she as a more controlled romantic, he as a warmhearted stoic. What Davies gave us instead is two ships that passed each other in the night and have, by their last scene in episode 8, completely exchanged places.
So I think it’s important to go back to the beginning and analyze how the meeting between the naïve romantic Charlotte and the world weary Sidney ended up altering them forever and how, while deeply painful for both of them at the moment, their separation and behavior shift will end up benefiting them when their eventual reunion occurs (whether or not ITV decides to renew this series, Charlotte and Sidney WILL get married and have 2 to 3 adorable children because this is an Austen story and I will accept nothing less, damn it!)
One of the most important scenes in the whole season for me was the carriage scene in episode 6. I wrote a whole meta on it that you can find here and I have to go back to it in order to reference this extremely important exchange that sits as the lynchpin of this meta:
Sidney: And what do you know of love? Apart from what you’ve read?
Charlotte: I would sooner be naïve than insensible of feeling.
We’ve spent a great deal of time analyzing this scene and how pivotal it is in the story of Sidney as the motivator behind his lowering of his emotional guard. But I don’t think we’ve spent nearly enough time asking ourselves what this exchange tells us about Charlotte.
Because this doesn’t just announce a change in Sidney, it also foreshadows one for her. Sidney is correct in implying she doesn’t really understand love because she’s never experienced it. She is, however, about to realize that she’s in love with him and thus her assertion that she’d rather be naïve than insensible of feeling is just about to be tested.
And the surprising result is … Charlotte fails at her own paradigm. For the rest of the season, she will never be as emotionally open as she is in episode 6.
Charlotte is unable to remain the open book, expansive girl in the face of first supposed unrequited love and then as she experiences loss. She, instead, withdraws inward and begins building up her walls just as Sidney did after Eliza left him.
I think Davies understands Austen’s ultimate message that you fall into the extreme of sense or sensibility at your own peril, which is why he chooses to have his main two characters traverse opposite journeys so they can be brought closer by the end of the story (in season 2 of course).
That’s because at the core of all of the fights and misunderstandings between Charlotte and Sidney sit two problems:
Sidney Parker does not believe in the good intentions of other people. He is operating from a place of hurt and feeling under attack. He is essentially under the impression that the people he comes into contact with have ulterior motives, and none of them are good. And you can’t really blame him for that distorted image of reality when you consider what the two most meaningful relationships in his life have been up until this point.
On the one hand you have Tom who weaponizes even the most benign of compliments:
Tom: At least I have your prowess on the cricket field to be thankful for.
Sidney: Well in truth you have Lord Babington to thank for that. I am here at his behest to give him support in his time of romantic need. God knows he shall need it.
Tom: You’re a good friend, Sidney … I don’t suppose you could try just one last time… [to go ask for money]
On the other hand, you have Eliza Campion who says stuff like this with a straight face:
Sidney: You didn’t have to wait for me, you know.
Eliza: I’ve waited for 10 years. What’s another quarter of an hour?
While researching this meta and also trying to figure out my Christmas fic, I’ve come to realize that both Tom and Eliza are using a victim narrative to get what they want from the people around them. What Sidney has learned from these relationships is that nothing in life comes for free. Any compliment, any sign of affection comes with a price tag or an eventual let down.
For her part, Charlotte Heywood is suspicious of Sidney because he doesn’t make himself easy to understand.
Charlotte thrives on communication and she tends to empathize and like people who share, or overshare, information with her. Her opinion on Tom shifts the moment he starts including her in his Sanditon projects. She is apprehensive of Otis for quite a bit of episode 4 but ends up completely on his side the moment he talks about his past as a slave and making innuendos about Sidney, despite neither one of those things really resolving her initial reasons for being apprehensive.
This behavior is really down to Charlotte’s upbringing in a very large but very happy family. Or as Eleanor Tilney in Northanger Abbey would put it:
Eleanor: I think you have had a quite dangerous upbringing. You’ve been brought up to believe that everyone is as pure in heart as you are.
Incidentally another Andrew Davies adaptation …
In Charlotte’s mind, people who are open emotionally and speak their mind must be good people. After all, she is this way and she certainly always has the best of intentions. When someone doesn’t do that, or worse they evade and try to manipulate, she distances herself from them, as is the case with Edward and Clara.
And since Charlotte views meaningful communication as the ultimate sign of trust, it’s this withholding of information, this emotional barrier she can sense in Sidney, that makes her mistrustful of him. She can’t understand his emotional withdrawal for what it is – a response to trauma - because she’s never experienced it. And as such she will always fundamentally misunderstand him.
We see these two character hang ups rearing their ugly heads again and again in their conflicts:
Episode 1
Sidney: And what have you observed about me upon our small acquaintance?
Charlotte: I think you must be the sensible brother of the three. I may be mistaken but it seems to me that your younger brother, Arthur, is a very … contrary nature. Alternately over lethargic and over energetic. While your elder brother, Tom, could be called over enthusiastic. I’m afraid that despite his good nature, he neglects his own happiness and his family’s in his passionate devotion to Sanditon. Don’t you agree?
Sidney: Upon my word, Miss Heywood, you are very free with your opinions. And upon what experience of the world do you form your judgments? Where have you been? Nowhere. What have you learnt? Nothing it would seem. And yet you take it upon yourself to criticize. Let me put it to you, Miss Heywood: which is the better way to live? To sit in your father’s home, with your piano and your embroidery, waiting for someone to come and take you off your parents’ hands? Or to expend your energy in trying to make a difference? To leave your mark. To leave the world in a better place than you found it. That is what my brother, Tom, is trying to do. At the expense of a great deal of effort and anxiety, in a good cause in which I do my best to help and support him. And you see fit to … to criticize him … to amuse yourself at his expense.
Fortunatelylori: … I have a theory that the reason why Sidney’s been forced into prostitution by the end of season 1 is because he used the argument of the fucking patriarchy to defend Tom The Worst Parker. Gee, Sidney, us women would love to go out there and change the world but your male friends are forcing us to stay home with our pianos and embroideries to make sure they take full advantage of our ovaries. Please take several seats!
Fortunatelylori: Also … fyi … Tom isn’t protecting England from the French or helping Warren de La Rue develop the freaking light bulb. He is trying to run a dime a dozen seaside resort and failing miserably at it so spare us the change the world one naked ass at a time speeches.
Charlotte is baited by Sidney, the emotional recluse, into oversharing which she can’t help herself from doing because even at this early stage she has a crush on him and wants to impress him with her insight. He takes that rather kind take on his brother Tom and spins it into a narrative of inexperienced superficiality and mockery because that’s what he’s conditioned himself to think about people.
Episode 2
Charlotte: Our conversation at the party … I expressed myself badly and I fear you misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to disparage your brother or to offend you. Indeed I have the greatest admiration for what you and he are doing here in Sanditon. You were right to rebuke me and indeed I am sorry. I hope you won’t think too badly of me.
Sidney: Think too badly of you? I don’t think of you at all, Miss Heywood. I have no interest in your approval or disapproval. Quite simply, I don’t care what you think or how you feel. I’m sorry if that disappoints you but there it is. Have I made myself clear?
Fortunatelylori: Badly done, Sidney! Badly done indeed!
Not much to say about Charlotte in this one as this argument is ALL on Sidney and his trust issues. In his world, this kind of earnest apology and brave taking of responsibility is always a precursor to a guilt trip or a victimization episode. So he has become very adept at shooting down any such attempt forcefully.
It’s only in episode 3, when he sees Charlotte helping Mr. Stringer without any expectations of reward and her accepting his apology without any hint of emotional blackmail that Sidney is able to lower his guard and begin to see Charlotte for the honest, kind and generous human being that she is:
Fortunatelylori: Awwww! This is Sidney essentially seeing his unborn children in Charlotte’s eyes. (that is the most romantic lyric in the English language and no one will convince me otherwise)
However, what ends up happening? Sidney lowers his guard just in time for Charlotte to reactivate her suspicions which leads to their most explosive fight to date:
Episode 4
Sidney: Did we not agree that you would look out for Georgiana? Keep her out of trouble? I should have known you weren’t to be trusted.
Charlotte: And I should have known, despite your professed concern, you care nothing for her happiness.
Sidney: I would ask you to refrain from making judgments about a situation you don’t understand.
Charlotte: I understand perfectly well!
Sidney: Of course you do! Even though you’ve known Georgiana but a handful of weeks and him but a matter of hours.
Charlotte: That was time enough to learn that Mr. Molyneux is as respectable a gentleman as I have ever had cause to meet.
Sidney: You seem to find it impossible to distinguish between the truth and your own opinion!
Charlotte: The truth? You wish to speak of the truth, Mr. Parker? The truth is you are so blinded by prejudice that you would judge a man by the color of his skin alone.
Sidney: You speak out of turn.
Charlotte: Why should I expect any better from a man whose fortune is so tainted with the stain of slavery!
Sidney: That is enough! … I do not need to justify myself to you.
They essentially spiral out of control in this scene. Sidney’s trust issues come back and his lack of feed-back to Charlotte’s accusations make her provide increasingly horrible explanations to fill in the blanks.
Because their fights tend to be very intense (they are both people with very strong personalities), it’s easy to think of the two of them as simply not being compatible.
But their issues aren’t a matter of compatibility but rather an inability to find the right channels on which to communicate with each other, despite both wanting to.
Which brings us to episode 5
I love these little acting choices Theo James makes. This sigh is so evocative because it’s pretty clear it’s not frustration or boredom, but rather Sidney still reeling from her accusations in episode 4.
On the other side, Charlotte looks at him and thinks he is distant and non-affected and because, despite being angry, she still wants to connect with him, she tries so hard to use Sidney’s acerbic wit against him and keeps attempting to poke the big grizzly bear:
Charlotte: I assume you are here for the cricket.
Sidney: Never short of assumptions, Miss Heywood.
Unable to find a chink in his cold shoulder, Charlotte tries again at the cricket match:
Charlotte: Good luck to you too, Mr. Parker. Although I imagine you don’t think you’ll need it.
Sidney: Yes more assumptions, Miss Heywood?
Sidney is so pissed at her in this episode, not even her low key flirting with James Stringer galvanizes him.
But then something quite unexpected happens … Without actually realizing it, Charlotte manages to find the right channel to communicate on:
Stringer: You haven’t got another player to replace him. We win.
Charlotte: I’ll play.
With the wide eyed enthusiasm of a true romantic, Charlotte taps into the core of what Sidney desperately needs in his life. She doesn’t just help and support him when he needs her to but crucially she doesn’t put a price tag on it.
Charlotte: Is that a smile I detected?
Sidney: Oh, I doubt it …
Charlotte doesn’t enter the cricket match because she wants to use that gesture to ask Sidney for money for her pyramid scheme or gaslight him into thinking her betrayal was actually her “waiting” for him. Charlotte does it because she wants to see him smile. And just look at him …
Unfortunately that momentary progress is derailed again when Georgiana is kidnapped which will eventually lead to the carriage scene in episode 6 where Charlotte’s need for feed-back clashes with Sidney’s trust issues in their most revealing conversation.
It’s tempting to look at this argument and think Sidney is the only one who is in the wrong and who needs to change. But that would be missing a few important aspects of the story.
Charlotte: Otis never meant to place Georgiana in harm’s way. Any more than I did.
Sidney: And yet you both did.
I think a lot of people, Charlotte included, fall into the trap of believing that if someone didn’t intend to harm someone else that means they haven’t actually done something wrong. Which is why there are still people in the Sanditon tag that are resisting the idea that Tom Parker is a villain. Surely he never meant to hurt his brother and he didn’t force him to propose to Eliza, so why is everyone so hard on him?
But like Charlotte had to learn with Otis, just because Tom didn’t intend to cause Sidney harm doesn’t change the fact that he very much did.
In this case, Charlotte’s major mistake was not that she helped Georgiana stay in touch with Otis. Charlotte’s mistake was in assuming she had the whole 1000 piece puzzle completed when she only had about 200 pieces in place.
Charlotte: All I ever cared about was Georgiana’s happiness.
Sidney: What did you think I cared about?
Charlotte: That is anyone’s guess!
Sidney: I’ve done the best I can by Georgiana.
Charlotte: No! At every turn you have abdicated responsibility. If you truly cared for her welfare, you would have watched over her yourself.
Sidney: It is a role I neither sought or asked for.
Charlotte: Of course not! Because you are determined to remain an outlier. God forbid you give something of yourself!
Sidney: Please do not presume to know my mind, Miss Heywood.
Charlotte: How could anyone know your mind? You take pains to be unknowable. All I know is that you cannot bear the idea of two people being in love.
Despite admitting she doesn’t know his mind, Charlotte can’t help herself from filling in the blanks with what she assumes is a conscious desire to be uncaring. Because she doesn’t have the life experience to come up with another answer.
For his part, Sidney is hurt by her lack of trust in him but unwilling to trust her enough in return to tell her the whole story. Still her words do affect him enough to make him begin to lower his barrier and give Theo James one of his best acting moments:
Sidney: And what do you know of love? Apart from what you’ve read?
Charlotte: I would sooner be naïve than insensible of feeling.
Sidney: Is that really what you think of me? I’m sorry that you think that. How much easier my life would have been if I were …
Fortunatelylori: I just … he’s very good … that is all
It would be very tempting to assume that since Charlotte admits to being naïve once the whole Otis and Georgiana’s situation is revealed:
Charlotte: It’s all so overwhelming! I hardly know what to think anymore. (beat) About anything! I’ve always felt so certain of my judgment. But now I see that I have been blinded by sentiment and naivety. How could I have gotten it all so wrong? No wonder your brother has such a poor opinion of me …
and Sidney begins to show more outward concern for the people around him and validate Charlotte in ever increasingly romantic ways:
Charlotte: I know … I’m too headstrong. I’m too opinionated. I’m too …
Sidney: No. You are not too anything. Don’t doubt yourself. You’re more than equal to any woman here.
That their clashing world views are now aligned. But the truth is, Sidney isn’t the one to explain to Charlotte how it was that he became “insensible of feeling”. It’s Tom that tells her that story (and then promptly bungles whatever help he might have provided his brother). Sidney’s trust issues remain which is evident even as late as episode 8:
Babbington: I believe she’s tamed me.
Sidney: Yes … I just imagine how that might feel.
And
Sidney: I have never wanted to put myself in someone else’s power before.
Don’t get me wrong, I melt every time I hear that second line but it is indicative of the fact that love still feels like an inherently risky and dangerous thing for Sidney where he is obliged to hand over his power to someone else and pray that person doesn’t abuse it the way Eliza did.
For Charlotte’s part, Sidney beginning to reveal more of himself and show her the true man underneath the armor, makes her fall more and more in love with him. And the more she loves him, the more afraid she is of outwardly showing it. His confusion over his feelings for her and Eliza’s reappearance in his life, cause her to attempt to fill in the blanks again in episode 7. First by proxy, while talking to James Stringer:
Charlotte: You are far too sensible to form such a misguided and futile attachment.
Stringer: Why should it be futile, Miss Heywood? For all you know your feelings are repaid 5 times over.
Charlotte: I allowed myself to believe so for the briefest of moments. But I cannot deny the evidence of my own eyes.
And then directly:
Sidney: I hope you weren’t too offended by Mrs. Campion. It was only meant in jest.
Charlotte: Is that all I am to you? A source of amusement?
Sidney: No. Of course not! You’re … Forgive me.
Charlotte: On the contrary, you’ve done me a great service. I am no longer in any doubt as to how you regard me.
So what happens in episode 8? Well, they essentially trade places, going from this:
Charlotte: I hope you won’t think too badly of me.
Sidney: Think too badly of you? I don’t think of you at all, Miss Heywood.
To this:
Sidney: Tell me you don’t think too badly of me.
Charlotte: I don’t think badly of you.
In one of my metas I made the point that Sidney Parker IS Charlotte Heywood’s coming of age story: he is her first love, the first man she is sexually attracted to, her first kiss and well … unfortunately also her first (and hopefully only) heartbreak.
By being forced to deal with her own sense of loss and the pain of being separated from the person she loves, Charlotte will finally be able to understand the true nature of Sidney’s insensitivity of feeling. Instead of causing her suspicion or apprehension, she will be able to connect with it because she’s lived through it herself.
As for Sidney … I don’t think it’s a coincidence that in the end he is forced to do to Charlotte what Eliza did to him all those years ago. He chooses to marry a wealthy woman he does not love and disappoint a poor woman whom he does love.
I think given that his motives are obviously altruistic while Eliza’s were not (both per Tom’s story as well as her general character as revealed in the show so far), the point of the similarity is not to bring him closer to Eliza. Certainly not when he’s looking at Charlotte like this:
Which means that him being forced to contend with what happened 10 years ago by reliving the incident, this time in the role of the aggressor, is there to increase his level of vulnerability and put him in the place of the earnest person trying to reach out for emotional connection and having to fight to pull down the walls he himself helped put up in Charlotte.
You know what they say … If you really want to know someone, walk a mile in their shoes. No one ever said those shoes would be comfortable.

Posters for my children of “In Between”: Babbers&Esther, Crowe&Anne, and ... hell if I know... My eternal struggle, to #teamstringer or to #sidlotte. tbh I don’t know what route to choose for "The In Between”.
There are times when I want Charlotte to end up with Sidney, no Austen heroine should forever lose her lover. They’ve both learned so much during their time in Sanditon, Sidney’s grown so much and he finally learnt to love and trust again, even though Charlotte was only halfway through her growth and ends up insecure and drawn inwards by the end, she would’ve reached her personal development in a couple of months. They’re the Elizabeth and Darcy of Sanditon, and as an Austen fan, I ship it, even though I admit to calling Sidney a moody emo boy and an asshole an awful lot.
On the other hand, both Charlotte and James were utterly destroyed at the end of Sanditon, they lost people they cared strongly about, had their hopes and dreams torn from them, and both lost their smiles. It would be so wholesome to see them growing and recovering together. Austen is great, I’m a sucker for happy endings, but the guys are either good, or they’re fuckboys the girls fell in love with first, before coming to their senses and falling for the right one. But in the real world, two men can be equally good, Sidney wasn’t a bad man, but neither is Stringer, and sometimes who you end up with is just a matter of circumstance. I do believe she could be happy with Stringer. They both started out like Marianne from S&S full of hope and joy and romantic notions, and lost all of them by the end after being confronted with some awful situations. Argh, my heart. I don’t quite know what couple to compare them to, I don’t think there’s any Austen couple with their potential kind of dynamic, perhaps a bit of Charles Hayter and Henrietta Musgrove, since she’s been pining after Sidney and he’s been a hopeful suitor yet one who respected her decision, anyways.
Anyways, if anyone follows my fic, enjoy the edits, I’ve yet again wasted an hour I should’ve been papering on this :p

Hi!! I was rewatching sanditon (obviously) and I noticed that Sidney got hella drunk after the little accident with Charlotte by the sea, we see him with a terrible hangover the day after. I was wondering if I was the only one who thought he did so to forget/ignore his growing feelings for her. He did end up talking about her to his mates when he was drunk after all
Aight, here’s what I think happened.
Remember this scene? Where she first turned him on with her wit and self-respect:
And then gave him goosebumps because he started to realise she was everything he ever wanted in a woman, when she demonstrated that she isn’t just intelligent and opinionated, but also selfless and romantic? And isn’t actively looking for love, but love is the only reason why she would want to marry someone?
And then how he perks up at the mention of her when talking to Crowe and Bubz:
And it’s curious that he makes that face. Like, he’s annoyed and prepared to fight Crowe if he were to say something insensitive or dirty about Charlotte (like he ended up saying about Georgiana).
So, as all of this is happening, my guess is that he started to regret ever having shouted at her for criticising his family because now he thinks she hates him and wants nothing to do with him, while he’s starting to fall in love with her. His behaviour at that time kind of has the vibe of Lizzy Bennet’s realisation that Mr Darcy would actually be perfect for her as a husband:
She began now to comprehend that he was exactly the man who, in disposition and talents, would most suit her. His understanding and temper, though unlike her own, would have answered all her wishes. It was an union that must have been to the advantage of both; by her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved; and from his judgement, information, and knowledge of the world, she must have received benefit of greater importance.
If that isn’t Sidlotte amirite?
So, while he’s mulling all of this over, he decides to take a swim, right? Chooses a secluded spot where Charlotte, nevertheless, ends up finding him. And what I absolutely love about the scene is the expressions on his face after she says that he’s the last person she wishes to see. (Again, had to gif it because no still would do to represent what his face does in that scene).
You can actually see him think, “Well, shit, that stings. A lot.”
And it’s interesting because, had this happened before Lady Denham’s luncheon, he would’ve just been annoyed with her. But he was already realising that he liked her, not just physically, in terms of attraction, but like, as a person. He wanted to get to know her, and he wanted him to be the person she would want to see.
So the embarrassment of the situation, plus the sting of the fact that he has ruined something that could’ve been really good (he didn’t really ruin it as we know, but that’s how it felt to him at the time), makes him just... sad?
Because when I was watching this episode for the first time and wasn’t familiar with the characters yet, it weirded me out that he was the one apologising. Just think about it: he’s standing there naked, his alone time interrupted by her (not on purpose, but still). He has every right to be annoyed. Yet, he is the one to apologise because he’s like, shit... what have I done. I’m an idiot. Try to be polite! Now!
And then she runs away, and he makes this face:
Which, honestly... to me it comes across as him just feeling really sad and thinking like, “What do I do now? She’ll hate me forever because I treated her like trash.”
So, he goes to the bar to get drink his feelings away I guess.
And it’s interesting to me that he literally got blackout drunk!! Because when Crowe and Babington come in next morning, he’s sleeping on a table in the pub? Like... lmao how much does one have to drink to just pass out on a table at a bar?
And I agree, Sidney doesn’t strike me as someone who shares his feelings with friends a lot, so he probably did only tell them of it because he was drunk af. They would’ve asked him why he was so distraught, and he would’ve blabbered about it.
So, there you have it?

Ever After/2
Fanfiction
Part 2
Sidney Parker x Charlotte Haywood
ft. other Sanditon characters and Esther Dehnam x Lord Babington
🌹
a/n: I introduced Helena Haywood as Charlotte's sister in part 1.
Also, Esther is now Lady Dehnam as the old Lady D died and she inherited the Sanditon Estate. And Esther and Babington are not married yet.
I don’t know yet how many parts this story will be. One thing is sure. There will be HEA for Sidlotte.
Thanks so much for reading and all your likes.
😘💕
🌺🐚
Denham House, London
"Your brother is here your Ladyship."- the footman ssid as he walked in the salon.
"Send him away."- Esther said.
"Can you get your guard dogs away!" - Edward now barged in past the other footman that was more a bodyguard of some kind.
The footman that was outside followed Edward in, trying to get him out.
"You are worse than the old witch herself." - Edward shouted.
"You dare come here and - . Out!" - Esther said with a face blazing with fury.
"This is not over. Not by far."
"What are you going to do? What? You think that your lawyers will overthrow the Will?"
"I have witnesses that will testify that you coerced our aunt on her death bed to make you her sole heir. I have come here tonight to negotiate a peace offering, but I see that you have struck me off like I am nothing." - Edward narrowed his eyes at Esther.
"Once - you were everything to me - but now you are - you are right- you're nothing to me. So please leave. I am expecting guests -"
Esther walked past her half-brother trying to keep her composure in tact. But as soon as she was in the safe harbour of the drawing room, she sat down on the chair trembling like a leaf. Taking a deep breath, she now whispered to herself-
“I will conquer this.”
To erase the feelings she had for Edward was not as simple as she thought it would be.
Flashback
Some time ago
London, St. James Park
“This will take time.”- Lord Babington said-”take one step at a time.”
“Time is all I got.”- Esther said.
“And friends. You’ve got good friends. And we will stand by you. You are not in this alone.”
“Thank you, Lord Babington. Sincerely.”- Esther nodded a little.
“At your service, always, Lady Denham.”
The knock at the door and the footman now entering, broke her thoughts.
“Is he gone?”
“Yes, your Ladyship.”
“Right. Anything else?”
“Your guest have arrived.”- the footman said referring to Charlotte and her sister.
“Ah- good.”
Esther got up and straightening her garment a bit went to meet the Haywood siblings.
🐚
The Parker House, London
“Charlotte and Helena should be arriving tonight?”- Arthur Parker asked his brother.
“Yes. If the coach is on time, they should now be at Esther Denham’s house. She will send a message.”- Sidney said.
“Grand. So when exactly will the wedding be?”
“A week Saturday.”- Sidney replied.
“It will not give Mary and Diana time to organize everything.”
“Charlotte and I discussed it. We do not want a big wedding. We want it to be in the family circle.”
“A small affair it is dear brother.”- Arthur said.
Sidney now passed a glass of Port to Arthur and sat down, taking a sip of the rich drink.
“I have not had the chance to thank you.”
“Thank me? Pray- what for?”- Arthur was baffled.
“For always being so very kind - and - for not giving up on me when I was at my lowest. All these years I have taken you for granted. In truth I was always the closest to Tom, but - I’ve always appreciated both you and Diana.”
“Well, thank you. This is so very kind of you. There is nothing we wouldn’t do for you. You are our brother and we could not leave you to your demons. Putting the money together was the easiest things to do. But to see your heart mended was not an easy task. But then there are angels walking amongst us - and Miss Haywood is one. Diana thinks so. I do, too. She brought you back to us.”
“She is - yes. She is an angel.”- Sidney said with a smile curling up at the thought of his fiancé.
“Ah- I am so sorry that it took me so long to get ready for dinner.”- Diana said as she walked in the room where her brother’s were sitting, now passing the note to Sidney.
“This has just arrived for you.”
Sidney unfolded the note and said that Charlotte and her sister were at Lady Denham’s house.
“They could have stayed here.”- Diana then said-”I would have made sure that everything is proper.”
“It is better so.”- Sidney said-”I want to do everything right. Especially after that letter - I want Charlotte’s family to be sure that I am a man of my word.”- Sidney said.
“They will be here for luncheon tomorrow, anyway.”- Diana said.
“Yes, they will”- Sidney said and folding the letter, he turned to his siblings -”Shall we go and have supper.”
“Yes. I am famished.”- Arthur said getting up.
🐚💕
The next day
Parker House, after luncheon
As Arthur and Diana, together with Helena left the sitting room, finally leaving Sidney and Charlotte on their own to have a moment to themselves, the two went to one another, grasping their hands as if they had not seen one another for months.
“Finally, I have you all to myself, even if it is only for a little while.”- Sidney said dearly his eyes dancing lovingly over Charlotte’s who gasped, sweet butterflies rising in her stomach.
“But soon we will be together - forever”- Charlotte said with a dreamy look.
“Yes - it can’t be soon enough”-Sidney said, brushing a streak of her hair away, lost in her glistening chocolate eyes. Leaning gently in, his lips touched hers like a whisper. Beaming up at him, they both sucked in a breath, staring deep into each other's eyes, full of wonder and love.
Charlotte shut her eyes, feeling his lips ghost over hers,tingling with anticipstion.
Unable to contain himself anymore,Sidney now drew her into a fiery and passionate kiss, causing her body to flush with heat. Just as she felt a rush of euphoric bliss envelop her, making her heart sing, he drew away. With her cheeks still blushing hotly, she glanced back up into his captivating eyes. He rested his forehead against hers.
"Charlotte- I -" - Sidney muttered, catching a bit of breath back-"I apologize for having overstepped the line- acting improper. I don't want you to think that I -"
"It's fine - we are engaged." - Charlotte said wrapping her arms around his neck and now pulled him into a kiss.
~~~~
🐚 Elsewhere
Campion House
"Can you not forget the damned Parker and just marry me. You said that I satisfy you more than he ever could."- Edward said to Eliza, who got up from the bed.
"I will help you find a wife that can pay your way. When I marry Sidney, we can still see each other. Like we did back then. One thing is true. You are an excellent lover."- Eliza said.
"Right. Whatever."- Edward got up himself pulling his trousers back on. "Are you still going to fight ypur sister over the Will?" "Maybe. I am not sure."
Edward now snaked his hands around Eliza's waist drawing her to him into a kiss.

thank you for the tag @captainmorningstar !! <3 <3 <3
1. sanditon
2. emma (2009)
3. anne with an e
4. skam france
5. a discovery of witches
who is your favorite character in 2?
Emma. Romola Garai plays her beautifully. But I also really love how sassy Knightley is in this version!
who is your least favorite character in 1?
I guess Tom Parker..bc I am forever SALTY :|
what is your favorite episode of 4?
I have favorite clips more than favorite eps for this one...Episode 2 has The Piano Scene that remains my favorite scene in the entire show...but also gotta give a shout out to Episode 4 bc I have never anticipated a kiss scene so much and boy did it deliver (though that award has since moved to awae).
what is your favorite season of 5?
Excited for season 2! Looking forward to Elizabethan England and more magic!
who is your favorite couple in 3?
Anne and Gilbert, no surprise there
who is your favorite couple in 2?
Again, in a stunning turn of events, Emma and Knightley
what is your favorite episode of 1?
1x06? I mean, the BALL. But also episodes 7 and 8 are great. First half of 1x08 should really win, but, you know... *sigh*
what is your favorite episode of 5?
1x03. Also like seeing Matthew Goode going absolutely feral in vampire protectiveness in 1x06.
what is your favorite season of 2?
That moment when you realize you watch a lot of miniseries/1-season shows :| For (3) and (4), the answer is Season 3, without question!
how long have you watched 1?
Since 1x02 I think? Heard about it via tumblr when the trailer came out, then didn’t realize it had started airing already. figured out vpn, and unlocked the obsession lol
how did you become interested in 3?
Heard about it being in the works at CBC, and binged it when it came out on Netflix.
who is your favorite actor in 4?
Probably Axel Auriant, who did a wonderful job as Lucas. But special shout out to Maxence Danet-Fauvel, since this was his first acting job!! He had big shoes to fill with the Even character, and he was absolutely lovely! Excited to see more of him in Season 6.
which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5?
I rewatch emma (2009) basically once a year, so I think that one wins.
which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?
I’ve seen all the episodes of both.
if you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
I don’t really know...Imane? Lucas? I don’t think I’d want to be any of them tbh, too much drama in that high school, and I don’t want to go back to high school lol
would a crossover between 3 and 4 work?
Haha can you imagine? That would be wild.
pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple?
I mean, people have talked about it, but Georgiana and Arthur? Idk, Sidlotte remains the best-developed couple. I would love to have seen a Heywood sister fall in love with James Stringer in Season 2 tho!! My boy deserves it!!
overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5?
awae
which has better theme music, 2 or 4?
skam france has some great song selections, but no real theme music. But even choosing among all five, emma (2009) wins. I ADORE that soundtrack. I can play the theme on piano and everything :)
Tagging: @admiralheywood @celiabowne @ardentlyenchanted @estherdenham @diana-clermont and anyone else who feels like doing this! <3 <3 <3

What do you hope happens in season two of Sanditon if/when we get it?!
Great question, Nonny! I’d love to know yours and anyone else’s thoughts on this as well!
Firstly, it’s a tie between wanting to see Sidlotte happen in a THEY ARE FOREVER SECURE, SHOW ME A WEDDING kind of way and wanting to see Tom be held responsible for his choices. If that trial by fire, come to Jesus moment includes a redemptive character arc for him, so be it. But man must own his choices.
As a caveat to my first choice, I want the story of Sidney and Charlotte. However they get back together, I want to SEE it happen - give me all the angst, the heartbreak, the back and forth, the will they/won’t they as long as SIDLOTTE is endgame.
Secondly, I’d love to see more Esther and Babington, especially to see Esther processing her abuse from Edward. I stan healthy, communicative relationships!
Thirdly, I’d love more Lady Denham and Lady Susan - both wealthy, sassy, and wise in their own ways and growing more dear to me by the minute.
Fourthly, it’d be fun to see Willingden and Charlotte’s family. Her elder sister and father have been mentioned numerous times. I’d love to see how she tries to adjust to being back home - show me copious letter writing, Charlotte walking the woods and pondering, conversations with her sister, mother, and father, Charlotte hunting for game again, her family all trying to navigate the new Charlotte who returned to them.
Anything else anyone wants to see in season 2?

Sidney is working as a food deliverer for his brother's restaurant on Valentine's Day because he's short handed. Sidney has an unexpected delivery during the night that he can't get out of his mind.
This is a short oneshot story for Valentine's Day. It's pure Sidlotte explicitness. Perhaps it'll serve as motivation for some couples on Valentine's Day.😉❤️
If explicit stories aren't your thing, don't read it.

by JazzyOz
All this talk lately of anger and disappointment still hanging around. It saddens me and it also saddens Sidney Parker.
He wants you to know that just because he may not be returning to the TV screens, it doesn't mean he is lost forever in the Fiction World. The fiction land of Jane Austen. He will keep fighting to be a hero and keep fighting for love and for his Charlotte.
Above all keep fighting to remain on the written pages of so many authors.
Keep soldiering on! 🎩
