Summary
Mary Bennet agrees to spend the London season with the newly married Darcys. She discovers that she would still infinitely prefer a book. But hiding in the library at balls and parties is not the solution, as an odd young man keeps turning up there.
“'Miss Bennet', she says. I did not know my Conscience would have such an ordinary name.”
“I am not your conscience, sir,” Mary said, feeling made fun of and annoyed to be shaken out of her reverie for nonsense. “And whimsicality such as this, whilst charming in a child, is not so appealing in a grown man.”
“Wait,” he said. “Do wait. I am so used to speaking in that silly way with silly young women that I quite forgot myself. Please stay and talk a little more.”
(from the prompt "Mary's season in London. Her moralising is a trial to her sisters but in the end she outshines them all.")
ETA Thank you to Prinzenhasserin for helping me bounce around some ideas, and to Burglebezzlement for the offer of betaing!

Summary
Anne Elliot is called to Bath following the death of her father. Unwilling to ask her sisters for help and bereft of a position after the death of her employer, an unexpected windfall gives her the latitude to do something she hasn't done in years: what she wants. As she settles into Lyme society, dodges offers from her cousin to "manage her finances," and makes new friends, Anne rediscovers who she is without the demands of others on her shoulder. She's not about to let anyone interfere with her newfound serenity, not even an old flame.
Or: The Crofts never rented Kellynch so Anne and Wentworth never met up again. At thirty-three, Anne finally has the money to decide her own future. Fate hasn't given up on her though and it's only a matter of time before Wentworth returns.Bookmarked by readerinthepnw
