A summary of the canon: Chirpy Lucy Honeychurch meets a bohemian - an intellectually-curious but monoslyobic and depressive young man named George Emerson - while on holiday in Florance in roughly the spring of 1908. Staying at the same pensione, the young couple are inadvertently thrown together when George's unconventional father suggests Lucy and her chaperone trade rooms with the Emersons so the women can benefit from a view neither man cares much for and which Lucy craves.
Lucy and George - though they hail from completely different classes - are drawn together by mutual curiosity, loneliness, the beauty and art of Italy, and an act of heroism by George. It culminates in a sudden kiss in a field filled with corn and poppies during a day trip. They are torn apart by propriety - particularly the concerns of Lucy's older chaperone-cousin Charlotte.
Lucy returns home to Surrey and accepts the suit of Cecil Vyse, a mama's boy who lacks George's passionate nature and fails to appreciate Lucy for her true self. It seems as if Lucy's set for a passionless borgieous marriage - but then a mean-spirited trick by Cecil results in the Emersons moving into a vacant cottage on Lucy's very street. Thrown back into George's orbit - and leaning that the dithering Charlotte had not been circumspect about witnessing George and Lucy's kiss - young Miss Honeychurch finds herself caught between what society expects of her and what her heart and soul desire.
What do you love about this ship/these ships?: You can cut the UST with a knife in this one, and the characters are adorable and sweet and worthy of the ending they get. It's star-crossed romance combined with comedy of manners, and it's lavishly shot with great acting.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Anything from fluff to smut - I have a very long request list for the two of them.
Content warnings: Some extended cis male nudity; a scene where a background character is stabbed to death onscreen in a bloody fashion.
