With You Forever
Chloe Liese
@KirBlacketer I'm a sucker for this one, typically in histrom. Evie Dunmore's PORTRAIT OF A SCOTSMAN is PEAK marriage of convenience. Chloe Liese pulled off a contemporary version of the trope well in WITH YOU FOREVER.

If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out
Cat Stevens
@rlove327 "If You Want to Sing Out, Sing Out" - Harold and Maude "Father and Son" - Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2 (Maybe I'm just biased in favor of Cat Stevens?)

The Antiquary
Sir Walter Scott
I am WOEFULLY behind on my word goal, but I'm proud of what I have written. Edgar and Cecily have now discussed Sir Walter Scott's The Antiquary and the flashback arc is getting precariously close to its crisis: https://t.co/lxx6sfpoRh https://t.co/fPJRxG20zf
