    Summary

    A belated contribution for the Janeuary prompt 'Dearest' as requested by an anon <3

    Miss Catherine ‘Kitty’ Bennet was the dearest child of neither her mother nor father. Those positions belonged to Lydia Wickham and Elizabeth Darcy, respectively. Yet Kitty did not mind, because that honour seemed to come paired with being the least dear to the opposing parent.

    Kitty, accompanying Georgiana in town for the season and staying with Elizabeth and Mr Darcy in their London home, falls in love... with Colonel Fitzwilliam. But his father has certain expectations of his prospects, and Kitty has some realisations about her family to make. Yet her heart just keeps falling for him deeper and deeper.

    Summary

    Another imagining of the final chapters of Pride and Prejudice.

    In this variation, Elizabeth never hears the truth of Darcy’s involvement in Lydia and Wickham’s wedding from Lydia or the Gardiners, and Lady Catherine never comes to call. Instead, Elizabeth and Darcy must resolve their feelings without this external assistance. And when Darcy and Bingley come to call at Longbourn, a suggestion from Mrs. Bennet that they go walking leads to an earlier and more open conversation between Elizabeth and Darcy.

    Summary

    Anne de Bourgh decides that she will never marry, and enlists the help of the Earl of Matlock to find her closest relations on her father's side. The Bennets of Longbourn sound respectable enough, and when Anne asks for help in making an introduction and, perhaps, even choosing the heir of Rosings from amongst them, the Fitzilliam family insist on helping her. Anne might yet regret asking.

    Alternatively: what if Darcy's embarrassing relations did not stop at Lady Catherine?

    (Eventual E/D, other pairings to be decided.)

    Summary

    When Elizabeth receives a letter from Jane during her stop in Derbyshire, its contents no longer threaten her hopes with the newly-amiable Mr. Darcy. But what does it say, and how could it change the course of her journey, her relationships, and her future?
