turn meme: badass moments [1/4] Townsend Rejoins

"It is difficult to measure sacrifice. Often, it seems to me that it is a road with no end."

turn meme: characters [1/5] Benjamin Tallmadge

Things I love about this teaser:

Two of my favorite characters having real, substantial interaction at last!!! Just in time before the series is done!!! (They’ve technically met before, of course, and have both heard much about the other via Anna, but they’ve never really talked.) 

Hewlett comforting Abigail!!! Taking her hands, kneeling, apologizing for frightening her!!! I LOVE IT

And of COURSE he’s gonna help her get to Cicero. He is A Good Man.

~Anna mention~

Plus Ben mention = potential fake love letter mention...?

Abigail knows that Anna was engaged to Hewlett and legitimately had feelings for him (see 3.08). With the right prompting, might she tell him what Anna told her?

Even if she doesn’t, Abigail says she intends to go to Washington’s camp and appeal to Anna. In 4.01, Anna encouraged Abigail not to give up hope of seeing Akinbode again. Given that Abigail is now trying to do just that (reunite with Akinbode as well as Cicero, that is), and given the subtle parallel or two this season has seemed to draw between Abigail/Akinbode and Annlett, wouldn’t it be nice … if Abigail mentioned to Anna … that Anna has a chance to see a man Anna thought gone for good, too…

Did I mention I love both of them and I get so excited whenever characters who have always been in completely separate spheres of the narrative FINALLY intersect??

Things I do not love about this teaser:

AMC sets premiere date for final season of Turn: Washington's Spies

My Portion Forever | Chapter 1: Of Cabbages and Teas

Fandom: Turn: Washington’s Spies Rating: Teen Relationships: Abraham Woodhull / Robert Townsend Characters: Abraham Woodhull, Robert Townsend, Anna Strong, Selah Strong, Richard Woodhull, Samuel Townsend, Robert Rogers, Becky Redman, Freddy, Sarah Livingston, Philomena Genre: Modern AU / College AU (LOA verse)

In the face of deteriorating personal relationships, grief over his brother's recent death, and a fuckload of cabbages he doesn't have the first idea what to do with, Abe Woodhull impulsively attends a Thanksgiving dinner at the home of someone he's never even met. It goes about as well as he should have expected.

A sweet, salty, silly, serious, sad and happy little modern AU about meeting new people, coping with loss, and trying to figure out how to move on. Also, bickering and crushes and tea.
