Little Women Fan Fiction: Something To Believe In

Friedrich is training their new dog in the woods when he suddenly hears an ominous voice.
It's no other than his sister-in-law in a rather distressed state of mind.
he storyline of Friedrich growing up without his father is from a fanfic called "travail" by @littlerumbird.
Jo's desire to get married, being lonely and wanting a family, can be found in Little Women chapters "all alone" and "surprises" and Louisa May Alcott's letters and diaries. Friedrich Bhaer is based on philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who Louisa was in love with. He appears in literal disguises in all of her novels.
Emil's dog Christopher Columbus is mentioned in Little Men.
Jo and Friedrich name their youngest son Theodore, I believe this is because Amy and Laurie are his godparents. Also, both Laurie and Friedrich were named after a German immigrant called Charles Follen. He was one of the founders of the Transcendentalist movement and a good friend of Louisa May Alcott's uncle. His full name was "Karl Christian Friedrich Theodore Follen". So both Friedrich and Laurie (and Jo's and Friedrich's son) are named after this one man. Charles also married an American female writer called Eliza (like Friedrich married Jo).
This is why I love history!

Please notice that Little Women podcast has it's focus on the book canon. Laurie is partially based on Alcott's ex Laddie Wisniewski and friend of the Alcott sisters Alf Whitman and Friedrich is based on philosopher Henry David Thoreau, who Alcott wanted to marry and the German poet Goethe (her favorite writer). I also firmly believe that Alcott planned the marriages in Little Women, years before she wrote the book, you can read more about that here archiveofourown.org/works/528...
For fan mail and brand deals msg [e-mail]
We have received violent threats from Jo and Laurie fans (and Gerwig fans). Please don't bother with hate mail, if you don't want a police raport made on you (also why would anyone do that? seriously). Don't be an idiot.

What a beautiful podcast! It’s so insightful and entertaining. It understands the characters perfectly (especially Laurie), I love it

As a long-time, die-hard Little Women fan, I LOVE this podcast! I stumbled upon it while doing research for a book series I was working on, and I am addicted! Niina is super knowledgeable in all things LW, from the book(s) to the movies and author Louisa May Alcott’s real life. I love that the discussions are based on the book and highlight the differences (sometimes controversial) between the original and newer adaptations. Highly recommended for anybody who loves getting lost in the world of Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March.

I love your Little Women content. Thank you for sharing all your studies and research! I read the book earlier this year for the first time and I fell in love with Jo and Fritz’s relationship. I’m so glad I binged listened to your podcast to further my love for them. It also kickstarted an obsession with LMA too, she’s such an interesting woman and moved around in so many circles.
