    Summary

    When Mr. Charles Bingley rode into Hertfordshire to acquaint himself with Netherfield Park it was on a purely accidental recommendation. Bingley was the sort of open, easy young man whom people would not scruple to share their opinions with, and the solicitor who took it upon himself to advocate for Netherfield could certainly not be blamed for seeing a very desirable tenant in him. Bingley was at that time not yet of age two years and unmarried, but he had the sort of good-humoured and generous character that must recommend him to almost anybody.

    Summary

    The marriage of convenience fic no one asked for.

    The morning after the Netherfield Ball, while Mr Collins is proposing to Elizabeth, Mr Bennet collapses. With her father unconscious and apparently near death, her mother pressuring her to marry Mr Collins, and the gentleman himself ignoring her protests, suddenly saying 'no' is not so easy. Faced with poverty and homelessness if she continues refusing, the gossip soon reaches Netherfield that she will have to marry Mr Collins. Just as Mr Darcy is about to mount his horse and follow Mr Bingley to London, never to return, he overhears the servants talking. The thought of Elizabeth married to a fool like Mr Collins is unbearable to him, and he resolves to make her a better offer. But, when she refuses him, he finds that he's willing to do anything for love - even marry her without the hope of being with her.

    Summary

    One warm, rainy day in the library at Pemberley, Caroline overhears something wildly unsuitable for an unmarried woman’s ears. Though she knows it’s wrong, instead of walking away, she walks closer…

    (It's pretty easy to hate Caroline Bingley, even when it's clear she doesn't stand a chance against our dear Lizzie. I've often wondered if Caroline is naive or dumb, and also wondered what fate might await her if she were to get a little more knowledge at the right time in life. Here's my attempt to play with that idea.)

    Summary

    Hermione only wanted to help with the war effort, instead she finds herself tangled in things she shouldn’t. Making it through her final year at Hogwarts would be much easier if she didn’t have to worry about You-Know-Who, her N.E.W.T.s and having her soul being bound to Severus Snape.
