Summary
Miss Elizabeth Bennet is the respectable daughter of a respectable country gentleman of quite unexceptionable family and connections, except for her uncle in trade, her uncle the attorney — and her maternal grandmother, a formidable foreign lady whose control over her granddaughters’ dowries gives her what Elizabeth’s mother considers to be a thoroughly unwelcome level of interference in their lives. Her mother’s insistence upon guiding the education of the Miss Bennets, in Mrs Bennet’s opinion, threatens to ruin the prospects she worked so tirelessly to provide for her family.
The far north, after all, is rumoured to be a place where magic has never faded into obscurity as it has in England these past centuries, and even in quiet, pleasant Hertfordshire there are some who have heard stories of the imperious witch clans of the arctic...A P&P fic set in an magic-infused AU of Austen’s England, heavily influenced by the universes of HDM and JS&MN. Featuring occasional cameos from the cast of JS&MN, and a menagerie of original dæmons to delight and amuse.

Summary
“It’s not as though you are in love with Penelope,” Eloise says.
She catches the tiny change in Colin's expression: a barely there wince. It takes her a moment to grasp the implications of it.
“Oh,” she whispers.
—
“It’s not as if you would actually wish for Colin to court you, so his words from last season need not signify,” Eloise says.
Penelope cringes.
“Oh,” Eloise says. Again.
—
In which Penelope resolves to keep her friendship with Colin perfectly proper, Colin attempts to truly know Penelope, and Eloise knows everything.

Summary
Colin’s eyes creak open, and at the same time, he lets out a soft moan.
Night has fallen since last he was conscious, and only the faintest moonlight now illuminates the coach. He is not alone in said coach. A woman rides with him. A hooded cloak conceals most of her face—that is, until she turns at the sound of his moan, lowering the fabric with small, gloved hands.
“You’re awake,” she says, expression quickly changing from worry to relief. “Oh, Colin, I’m so glad. I did worry if perhaps the blow was a bit too hard, but—”
“Penelope?”
Or: The one where Penelope kidnaps Colin to keep him from spilling the beans about Lady Whistledown, and he...rather learns to like it.

Summary
A soft, kind smile grew on Aziraphale’s face. “Crowley, I love you. Of course, I love you”
“I don’t mean like a friend or a brother,” Crowley added hesitantly.
“Neither do I.”Bookmarked by lavenderandchai
