Title: When They Are Both Full Grown
Author: [archiveofourown.org profile] lesspopped
Link: AO3
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,191
Warnings: past parental death
Summary: "It was the Year of Our Lord 1784, though not for much longer, for it was the seventh day of Christmas, New Year's Eve. There were no letters, which came as no surprise but as a disappointment anyway."

Notes: The oldest fic for the pairing on AO3, and it's a gorgeous one. Beautiful winter atmosphere, a believably weary Ben, and a softly grown-up Felicity all ring true.

Stolen Breeches

โ€œI imagine you miss your family and friends back in Yorktown,โ€ said Felicity. โ€œAnd Iโ€™m sure they miss you, too. If I loved someone, I could never let him go away from me. I would be too miserable and lonely.โ€ She glanced over at Ben. Maybe he was lonely. โ€œYouโ€™ll be happier here when you have some friends,โ€ she said.

โ€œAye,โ€ said Ben. And he hid his face behind the sack of oats again.
