Summary
This picks up the Persuasion narrative from "Just an Earth-Bound Misfit, I" at the point when Frederick returns to his hometown of Detroit, having left the Air Force to move in with his sister Sophia because she needs him. Of course, he will run into Anne Elliot in their old hometown, and this story tells of their interactions, alternating between Frederick's and Anne's POVs. Meanwhile, both of them also have to navigate the territory of being thirty-something Gen X-ers (this is set in the 2010's) who have mounting adult responsibilities - work, looking after their respective siblings' kids - even though they still want to feel young. The songs also keep coming - in addition to being devoted to "Learning To Fly", this story features a diverse soundtrack of '80s, '90's and '00s tunes.

Summary
A modern-day prequel to Persuasion, which also pays tribute to the Pink Floyd song "Learning To Fly". Anne Elliot is a nineteen-year-old college freshman when she meets Frederick Wentworth, an Air Force ROTC cadet, single-minded in his pursuit of flight. Spanning the mid-1990s through 2009, this story covers the entire pre-Persuasion back story, focusing on the depth of Anne and Frederick's love, and how hard they both tried to do the right thing by each other. Yet, sadly, they land in unfortunate circumstances that test them beyond their limits, young as they are, which is how they end up in Persuasion. Canon and Diversity Easter Eggs and references abound! This will be a 2-part series with a HEA at the end of Part 2. Cross-posted from Derbyshire Writer's Guild and Fanfiction.net with a bunch of new edits.
