    Summary

    Mary Bennet was quick to resign herself from the prospect of romance. In what she considered a logically defensive measure against rejection, or worse, indifference.

    When Mary comes to understand that matrimony appears to be the very thing she must enter to shun the threat of society’s tender feelings entirely, will she be able to act in accordance?
    —-
    “I have little expectation of you Miss Bennet that is concerned more with you than it is of me. To put it concisely, I wish to be friends with you because I am of the theory that similar history makes for good company and I am of the impression that we are both interlopers.”

    Summary

    Kitty Bennet has always lived under her sister’s shadow. After a life of being an unwilling accomplice to Lydia’s greedy schemes, she struggles to find her own way after her sisters are married. Although her quick sense of humour makes her a social butterfly, she struggles to free herself from Lydia’s ruthless control and the whisper of scandal that haunts her. A crippling accident forces everyone to see Kitty as more than just the family fool - but how can she win this new fight, when she cannot conquer the old? D/E, J/B, C/?, fluff and scandal. COMPLETE! Now adding BONUS CHAPTERS at the end, because I'm enjoying writing the characters too much to end it just because the actual plot has finished. XD

    Summary

    Rather than simply never speaking her to again after Elizabeth refuses Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet casts her out of the house. No one is to allow her back in or even go search for her. As Elizabeth formulates a plan, a storm blows through Hertfordshire, bringing with it torrential rains and heavy winds, which fell trees and topple fences, not to mention drench the ground, making any kind of travel impossible. Caught out in the woods, Elizabeth is struck by a fallen tree searching for shelter and found by Mr. Darcy the next morning, but she has no idea who she is, where she is, or what happened to her. As she recovers and her memories slowly begin to return, unsure of who or what to believe, Elizabeth places her trust in her rescuer, who is all too happy to protect her when outside influences seek to manipulate and control her. Yet Mr. Darcy knows they can never be, but that doesn't stop him from falling deeper in love with her, and her with him. When she finally gets her memories back, what will Elizabeth do?

    Summary

    She regarded him for a moment, then asked, without ceremony,
    “Do you pray?”
    The question cut through the gentle hum of conversation around them. He straightened slightly, more startled than he cared to show.
    “Yes… as often as one ought,” Darcy replied, surprised by his own honesty. The words felt clumsy; he wished he had been more precise.
    “Good,” she said, her tone neutral yet approving, as though assessing him. She glanced toward the door. “Then I shall await the particulars.”

    Summary:
    When Fitzwilliam Darcy meets Elizabeth Bennet in a quiet hotel bar, their connection is instant—until pride, suspicion, and a shared family entanglement threaten to unravel it all. What began in honesty now teeters between misunderstanding and desire.
