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
He holds out his hand. “Jake.”
Bradshaw looks at him like he’s the dumbest man alive, his gaze sharpening with condescension. “You’re my engineer, I know who you are.”
“So sue me for being polite.”
His jaw works, but after an interminable second he steps forward and takes Jake’s hand. “Bradley.”
Jake hangs onto the handshake for an extra second and smirks. “Such an honor to meet you in person. The king of IndyCar, finally gracing us with his presence here in F1. Can’t believe it.”

Summary
So when Abby gets a job offer from Chicago, Frank doesn't even think about saying no. He owes her, he reasons, and besides ... there's nothing good about Pittsburgh anymore. Chicago, Frank hopes, will be the clean slate they all need.
(Or: Langdon moves to Chicago, gets divorced, deals with sobriety, and falls in love with John Truman Carter III. Maybe not in that order.)
