    Summary

    Tom Bertram meets Fanny Price in Portsmouth and is shocked by the state of poverty and neglect in which the delicate young lady lives. So he makes the rash decision to marry her and bring her back to Mansfield with him as his wife.

    After all, what good is having a clergyman for a brother if you can't get married when you want to?

    But Tom never stopped to wonder if Fanny would be welcomed in her new home, or if he'd be responsible enough to look after her (he's not).

    And when Tom suddenly falls gravely ill, Mary Crawford (who isn't even betrothed to Edmund yet) begins planning her future as Mistress of Mansfield, unthinkingly displacing Fanny, who she considers all but a widow already.

    It's most certainly not the fairy-tale ending Fanny or Tom envisioned for themselves.

    With the looming fear of an uncertain future for his wife, Tom realises he needs to put away childish things for good and become a man worthy of inheriting Mansfield at long last.

    Summary

    When the house in Camden Place has a delay in availability, Sir Walter and Elizabeth opt for a visit to his other Elliot nephew. The same Elliot and his Lady whose cottage near Dartford, Robert Ferrars spoke so highly of. This tale follows the train of consequences of two of Ms. Austen's more unlikeable characters finding a kindred spirit in each other. Many larger changes for our beloved favorites come from this one meeting.

    A crossover fiction covering characters from Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, Mansfield Park, and Pride and Prejudice.

    Summary

    Mrs. Elizabeth Darcy had learned her lesson well not to take gossip at face value, that both sides of a story must be told before action was taken – particularly if the bearer of the tale was the injured party. So when she heard young Margaret Dashwood’s account of her brother’s dismissal of their late father’s wishes, she made discreet inquiries before taking action. (John and Fanny Dashwood are tried in the court of public opinion and come out the worse for the wear.)
