    Summary

    Beware: Maegor with teats has begotten Aerion the Monstrous.

    Prince Aerion Targaryen once drank a cup of wildfire, convinced it would make him a dragon. It made him a corpse instead—briefly. Fate (or the gods, or some bored Valyrian demon with a taste for jokes) spits him back into the world generations earlier, reborn as the twin brother of Prince Jacerys Velaryon, son of Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.

    He isn’t a dragon. Tragic.

    Still Aerion decides to do what he does best:

    Cause problems on purpose.

    Summary

    Charles Bingley takes residence of Netherfield Park for one reason: to give his friend Darcy a peaceful sanctuary after a brutal year. After Wickham’s scheme was revealed, Georgiana’s attempted suicide left her crippled and catatonic. Darcy, blaming himself, fell into self-destructive despair that even his closest friend could not break through. It is only when Darcy is alone in the countryside near Meryton that he finds a reason to hope: a beautiful young woman, walking alone, who he deliriously thinks is an angel. D/N, J/B - Trigger warning, discussion of suicide, depression and alcohol abuse.

    Summary

    When Netherfield Park is let to Mr. Bingley, the Bennets are amazed by his companion: an impoverished, handsome gentleman, whose fall from wealth has made him notorious. The local gentry are loathe to accept him as an equal, especially when his manners leave much to be desired. Only Elizabeth Bennet tolerates him, curious about the mystery behind his ruin: something about it doesn’t quite add up, and she suspects there is more to Mr. Darcy than meets the eye. E/D, J/B

    Summary

    "You do not think very highly of me, Miss Bennet. I must say I am surprised you have come to my door, but I have little idea of what you want from me."

    Elizabeth opened her mouth, then closed it again. Her heart beat furiously in her chest, and she was acutely aware of her own breath, which seemed to come in short gasps. "I am with child, Mr. Darcy." She couldn't look at him, couldn't bear to uncover his reaction to the news. "I didn't know what else to do."

    ***

    A passionate ending to the rejected proposal at Hunsford leads to unsought complications: a child. With no other options, Elizabeth seeks out Mr. Darcy.

    Summary

    He looked out toward the sea. "I thought it better not to intrude by presuming your notice after--" he faltered, then said with effort, "after all that has passed between us. I believed it would be unwelcome."

    "Is it your habit," she asked with the faintest smile, "to determine a lady's preferences without consultation?"

    This was not the right thing to say, bringing up those things they would both rather forget. His expression shifted--perhaps embarrassment, perhaps frustration. "I did not mean to offend."

    "No?" She arched an eyebrow. "Then you do it quite by accident, sir."

    ***

    The summer after Mr. Darcy's disasturous proposal, Elizabeth encounters him at the seaside instead of at his home after her travel plans change unexpectedly. There, she discovers the pleasures of both the seaside and the man she unexpectedly shares it with.
