I currently have 194 works archived at AO3.

Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 194 (the first thing I posted there), and I’ll tell you three things I like about it.

Thank you!

Me too! I remember being very baffled when I first read it as a teenager, because things I assumed were fades-to-black then revealed themselves to be actual non-happenings.

The film is weirdly miscast, isn't it, as if Merchant Ivory took one look at the novel's many descriptions of Maurice as dark and heavy-set and decided this cannot be for we are Merchant Ivory, purveyors of jam and crumpet fey Edwardiana to the general and we will cast a slim blond willy-nilly! And then Clive, who actually is fey and fair, becomes Hugh Grant.
