Discordancy by rosedark; Jane Austen's Emma; PG-13; Emma Woodhouse/Jane Fairfax/George Knightley; It’s like a broken clock she cannot set aright, somehow both too fast and too slow; or the draft from a carelessly opened door that she cannot place, sighing its sobering chill into even the gayest of parlours. And it is at its strongest, perhaps, whenever she chances to hear Miss Fairfax play.
