Summary
What if Ned wasn't beheaded in King's Landing and Catelyn didn't die at the Red Wedding? Just over two years ago I asked myself those questions, and with the encouragement of some wonderful people I started this story.
This story takes place entirely in the canon universe, diverging from GRRM's epic at two points--Ned's execution and Catelyn's murder at the Twins--and examines all the ways that the survival of these two people might have changed events both large and small in the world of Westeros. The ripples have far reaching consequences for many throughout the Seven Kingdoms, but at its heart, this is a story of two people, their marriage, their family, and the North.

Summary
When Elizabeth Bennet receives word of Lydia’s scandal while visiting Derbyshire, her world begins to unravel. A death in the family soon follows, and with it, the weight of duty grows heavier than ever. Now living in London with her relatives, far from all she once knew, Elizabeth must navigate grief, social expectations, and an unexpected proposal.
She is willing to do whatever it takes to protect those she loves, but at what cost? Can love still bloom when honor demands sacrifice?---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elizabeth is no longer the spirited girl we first met—grief, loss, and the burden of responsibility have altered her. And yet, even in her silence, her will to protect those she loves remains unbroken.
This is a tale of emotional survival, redemption, and the quiet power of enduring love.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope you’ll find in this version of Elizabeth and Darcy something both familiar and new.
