A continuation of "After the Storm" in which the Colbourne family expands and we find out what happens when Leo grows up. Rating is T, but M for Chapter 1 and the ending of Chapter 5.

A collection of five small scenes-each beginning after a particular line from the show. An exploration of how a scene can turn on just one word or phrase to lead to a HEA. Basically a "How it Might Have Happened" fic.

Based upon a quote from Augusta: "She brought light to a house which before her knew only darkness." There is a storm, and a horse, and a dog, and our bold heroine and her conflicted gentleman.
