Summary
A modern AU wherein Darcy has recently been elected to the House of Commons, Elizabeth is in the civil service, and unsusprisingly, there is conflict.
Slight whiffs of both 'The Thick Of It' and 'Yes Minister'; and an eventual 'Darcy exiting the lake in a wet white shirt' scene, because let's be honest, that's all anyone is in this for.Additional story and relationship tags as the story progresses. Rating due to a base level of swearing which could only be described as 'Australian'. Also because there might be some lemons later on.
Not on hiatus, I'm just really bad at updating.

to have a loving family (at a distance of at least four hours travel) by QuoteMyFoot

Summary
Anne de Bourgh decides that she will never marry, and enlists the help of the Earl of Matlock to find her closest relations on her father's side. The Bennets of Longbourn sound respectable enough, and when Anne asks for help in making an introduction and, perhaps, even choosing the heir of Rosings from amongst them, the Fitzilliam family insist on helping her. Anne might yet regret asking.
Alternatively: what if Darcy's embarrassing relations did not stop at Lady Catherine?
(Eventual E/D, other pairings to be decided.)

An Ever-Fixed Mark by AMarguerite

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.)

Neither Duty Nor Honour by buckbeakbabie

Summary
Fitzwilliam Darcy was four and twenty when he married Anne de Bourgh. In doing so, he fulfilled his duty to his family. Life with Anne was comfortable, if not joyous. However, a year into their marriage she died fulfilling what she saw as her duty - bearing him a child.
Fitzwilliam Darcy was eight and twenty when he accompanied his oldest friend to Hertfordshire with his sister and daughter. It was widely known that he had no intention of marrying again. His duty was, after all, already fulfilled. But that firmly held conviction will not hold long against the charms of one Elizabeth Bennet.
