Early Christmas gift to everyone who has been asking for more long-form content. Thank you for your support!<br /><br />It might come as a surprise to some people but there are actually quite a few sex scenes in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women.

She was 28.<br /><br />Friedrich and Jo essay collection: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/qumo5kv" rel="noopener">https://tinyurl.com/qumo5kv</a><br />Amy and Laurie essay collection: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/yx5tdxnn" rel="noopener">https://tinyurl.com/yx5tdxnn</a><br />My Little Women art corner <a href="https://tinyurl.com/upqqrj5" rel="noopener">https://tinyurl.com/upqqrj5</a><br /><br />20% off everything from my shop with the code "LittleWomen" <a href="https://www.fairychamber.com/shop.html" rel="noopener">https://www.fairychamber.com/shop.html</a><br /><br />Subscribe to Small Umbrella In The Rain <a href="https://tinyurl.com/yavaneua" rel="noopener">https://tinyurl.com/yavaneua</a><br /><br />Say Hi on Social:<br />Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/small_umbrellaintherain" rel="noopener">https://www.instagram.com/small_umbrellaintherain</a><br />Tumblr: <a href="https://www.tumblr.com/blog/fairychamber" rel="noopener">https://www.tumblr.com/blog/fairychamber</a>
