Summary
He looked out toward the sea. "I thought it better not to intrude by presuming your notice after--" he faltered, then said with effort, "after all that has passed between us. I believed it would be unwelcome."
"Is it your habit," she asked with the faintest smile, "to determine a lady's preferences without consultation?"
This was not the right thing to say, bringing up those things they would both rather forget. His expression shifted--perhaps embarrassment, perhaps frustration. "I did not mean to offend."
"No?" She arched an eyebrow. "Then you do it quite by accident, sir."
***
The summer after Mr. Darcy's disasturous proposal, Elizabeth encounters him at the seaside instead of at his home after her travel plans change unexpectedly. There, she discovers the pleasures of both the seaside and the man she unexpectedly shares it with.

Summary
"Welcome home," she said, and heard the brittleness in her own voice, the mockery of the sentiment.
"This has not been home for some time, madam. For either of us."
Then he was gone, and Elizabeth was left in her carefully claimed sitting room, staring at a book she could not read, wondering how they had arrived at this--two people bound together by law and circumstance, which neither could escape, circling each other like wounded animals in a house too small for their shared misery.
***
Trapped in an unhappy marriage, Elizabeth learns how to love her husband.

Summary
The smutty 'Trying to Tread Water' companion fic that people did ask for.
Though their marriage was in name only, offered in the dark hour of her father’s life fading and Mr Collins not listening to her refusals of him, as Elizabeth and Mr Darcy became closer they were always going to learn to understand each other – and themselves – better, growing both as individuals and a couple. Some things are inevitable.
And, sometimes, when the inevitable happens, it also gets heated…
Chapters are labelled with where you need to be up to in Trying to Tread Water to prevent spoilers for the main story. Everything here is expanded and bonus scenes from that fic.
