Summary
Mary drew her awareness to the way her shoulders relaxed and her heart rate slowed as she dutifully performed the sham effort of joining the back of the long line to the counter. It didn’t seem to matter that she was always dressed in unflattering bright blue scrubs, or that she wore a garish surgical cap featuring Bluey characters, Tom reliably caught her eye, gave her a slow, admiring wink, and set about prioritising the order he knew by heart over the demands of all the other waiting customers.
Dr Mary Bennet, paediatric trauma surgeon, knew of only one source of reprieve for the heavy burden she daily bore in the operating theatre - the kind eyes and easy charm of the Irish barista at Cup & Clover, the hospital café.
(Someone who has worked for all he has and made a success of himself would surely be far more attractive to a current-day career woman than some manchild with a trust-fund.)
Hence I give you the Surgeon/Barista AU you never knew you needed.

Summary
The Gardiners make the match.
It is not love at first sight, or second, or third.
It is love that comes later - in the accumulation of shared steps and conversations in the dark. In a stranger becoming, without your noticing, the first person you want to tell things to.
In having the deeply inconvenient realisation, somewhere in your marriage, that you have a crush on your spouse.
OR: Mary and Tom have a regency era marriage of convenience

Summary
Mary Bennet spent years loving Tom Hayward quietly. Quietly enough that nobody noticed. Not Tom, who only ever saw his best friend's younger sister. Not Jane, who never realised how carefully Mary stayed out of the way.
University changed everything. By the time Mary returned, she learnt how to take up space; she became someone she finally recognised in the mirror. Then she moved into the spare room of Tom’s flat.
Tom can't understand why the friend he remembers so fondly now keeps him carefully at arm's length. Mary can't understand why the boy from her past suddenly seems determined to learn every version of who she's become.
Some people grow apart. Others simply need to meet each other twice.

Summary
It wasn’t as if Mary was moving to another country, London was barely an hour and a half drive from her childhood home. It would be a bit longer now that her mother was moving into Jane’s guest house, but even then it really shouldn’t have been such a big deal. It wasn’t like her mother liked her very much anyway.
Mary sighed again, and her uncle looked into the rearview mirror to ask “You alright back there?”
There was concern in his eyes, something she never seemed to find when it came to her mother. They looked alike, but in moments like this it was obvious how different they were.
“Yes, just nervous.” Mary responded.
Her aunt reached back from the passenger side to give her hand a tight squeeze.
“It’s normal to be nervous, Mary.” She smiled, “But trust me, you’ll thrive here.
