Summary
Elizabeth Bennet finds herself at the edge of a cliff, on her tiptoes, ready to dive. In 1942, the world is in the midst of a brutal, cruel war, and England faces heavy bombardment. Elizabeth knows she must swim to that somewhere. They cannot lose.
The problem is - as a woman, she has been swimming to that point her whole life. Now, she must work alongside Fitzwilliam Darcy, who she has loathed since her days at the University of Cambridge. Circumstances, however, force her to put her prejudices aside, and perhaps their lives - and England - will be better for it.

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
Yuuri jumps when someone hurries into the elevator, apologizing profusely.
The apartment complex is full of eccentrics, seeing as it's only a few miles from the artistic center of town. It isn't the first time that the concert pianist has run into someone who's late for work, fussing with their hair, or adjusting the lapels of a suit. Yuuri taps out a rhythm to fill the silence, something original.
When he sees the silver-haired man pull out a notebook, he recognizes the handwriting. Notes had been slipped under his door in that loopy script for weeks now.
This handsome man is his upstairs neighbor.

Summary
Viktor Nikiforov runs a 5-star restaurant, and Yuuri is the perfect food critic—unassuming, easily overlooked, just your everyman who can get a real evaluation of how a restaurant would treat its customers. Unfortunately, he’s pretty sure that Nikiforov has already figured him out, judging by the way he’s flinging free desserts and spoonfuls of authentic borchst at the Japanese man.
