    Summary

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    Summary

    Fitzwilliam Darcy was four and twenty when he married Anne de Bourgh. In doing so, he fulfilled his duty to his family. Life with Anne was comfortable, if not joyous. However, a year into their marriage she died fulfilling what she saw as her duty - bearing him a child.

    Fitzwilliam Darcy was eight and twenty when he accompanied his oldest friend to Hertfordshire with his sister and daughter. It was widely known that he had no intention of marrying again. His duty was, after all, already fulfilled. But that firmly held conviction will not hold long against the charms of one Elizabeth Bennet.

    Summary

    "It is a truth universally acknowledged that when Charles conceives a so-called “adventure” it will inevitably end in humiliation for him and discomfort for me."

    So this originated from a Tumblr textpost and a belligerent best friend who implored me to imagine if Fitzwilliam 'Human Disaster' Darcy kept a journal of his time in Hertfordshire. I thought it was going to be super boring, but lo and behold, I can't stop writing this. I'm sort of blending the events of the 2005 film and the book, with some direct quotes from the film. Chapters are short, but there will be many. You have been warned. Enjoy! :)
