    Summary

    The marriage of convenience fic no one asked for.

    The morning after the Netherfield Ball, while Mr Collins is proposing to Elizabeth, Mr Bennet collapses. With her father unconscious and apparently near death, her mother pressuring her to marry Mr Collins, and the gentleman himself ignoring her protests, suddenly saying 'no' is not so easy. Faced with poverty and homelessness if she continues refusing, the gossip soon reaches Netherfield that she will have to marry Mr Collins. Just as Mr Darcy is about to mount his horse and follow Mr Bingley to London, never to return, he overhears the servants talking. The thought of Elizabeth married to a fool like Mr Collins is unbearable to him, and he resolves to make her a better offer. But, when she refuses him, he finds that he's willing to do anything for love - even marry her without the hope of being with her.

    Summary

    She will have one chance to do this. One chance to escape him, to earn more time to figure out how to defeat him. “You’ve shown me your hand,” she says, her core heating as she goes so bright that the tent’s occupants hit the ground to hide from it. The Darkling doesn’t, but she’s caught him unawares. His shadows are wild, uncontained as they attempt to thread through her light, to get to her. He’s scrambling. “Now I will show you mine.”

    Then she sends a quick prayer to whoever is listening, brightens her light to the point where she can only hold it a few seconds without harming anyone, and bends it away. She only has a moment to throw herself into the crowd of Grisha on the floor, masking herself in the frantic heartbeats, before the Darkling lets out an inhuman, almost keening sound, slams his hands together, and sends them all into darkness.

    Summary

    Percy learned he wasn't a normal human on one ordinary day at the beach. First he thought he was a waterbender (like Master Katara), then he thought he was a demititan (why else would Triton be so worried about his parentage?), and then he was told he was a demigod. Now he's got to deal with the rising conflict and a war on the horizon while learning how to be a good prince of the sea.
