Those Prevailing Happy Stars
by Ameline_DuchannesXI
Edmund Bertram is hopelessly in love with Mary Crawford, but she won't agree to marry him unless he goes beyond the gap in the wall and brings back one of the two falling stars they saw during his last proposal of marriage. Tom Bertram, in debt and getting to be something of a wanted man in Wall, decides to accompany his brother on this magical adventure.Susan Price (cross after a really bad fall) just wants to get her injured sister, Fanny, to safety, and she has no patience with the two brothers who come flying into their lives and (quite literally) take them captive.Henry Crawford is a powerful warlock, hoping to obtain the heart of a fallen star for his uncle the Admiral, who desires endless youth, but he doesn't count on being completely beguiled by one of them, much less could he ever imagine he has a pre-engaged heart to attack...
