Summary
Temeraire is dead.
Temeraire is dead, and Laurence’s reason for living along with him. He stumbles on, day by day, conscious of the concern of his friends and family, yet unable to care.
Until an unexpected letter leads Laurence to something even more unexpected still: a child.
What a Chinese orphan is doing on the streets of Edinburgh is anyone’s guess, including the orphan's. Tharkay, for his part, suspects foul play. Laurence can see all that is sensible in the man’s suspicions, yet once again he cannot bring himself to care. Not when the child reminds him so very strongly of that which he’s lost.

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
This is a simple prompt that has far outgrown my initial plans.
Thomas Bennet has a near deadly accident around the same time as the birth of his youngest child and death of his grandmother. The repercussions change the trajectory of the Bennet's social life, his marriage, and the lives of his daughters forever. With the support of his wider family he does his best to carve out a path for his children better than the one he walked. Even when it feels like a losing battle.
Nearly 14 years later, a visit from Thomas' closest friend, accompanied by his family, begins to change his perspective. But just as soon as he begins to gain hope for the futures for his children, new threats hover just out of his sight. Will the combined force of his community and family be enough to keep his daughters safe?
