    Summary

    One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.

    (A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

    Summary

    Catherine Morland, girl reporter (well, Bath Weekly’s junior weddings reporter and photographer), has always longed for something, anything exciting to happen to her. When she meets the Tilneys, it does.

    1930s screwball comedy AU... though Catherine thinks she's in a Hitchcockian murder mystery. Otherwise known as "It Happened One Night At Northanger Abbey."

    Summary

    Summary: Brienne Tarth, Ph.D., is lucky to get even a one-year position at a small college deep in the Riverlands. Unfortunately, the man who represents everything she hates about the devaluation of scholarly expertise is there too. And she has to work with him. She hates everything about this until she doesn’t. Then things get complicated.

    [Note: this is what happens when a gnc survivor of the academic precariat falls embarrassingly into a whole lot of feelings about this ship (and gets enabled into writing by a friend.) This fic was going to be short, and it was going to have plot, and now it’s just roughly 30k of mutual pining. With a little plot on the side. As a garnish. ETA: 40k? ETA: 50k?? ETA: 50ish. Ish.]

    Summary

    Jack Cade's wife narrates how an unlikely soldier joined the rebels' party. "I did not think it sensible to turn to one young Richard son of Plantagenet and say, 'Excuse me, what the bleeding fuck are you doing here and have you brought guns to kill us all?'"
