    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.

    In a world where Tortall is ruled by Roger of Conté, the King Who Defeated Death, one girl grows up with three names and grows into one more.

    Within the court of Jonathan of Conté, contested king of Tortall and Prince Consort of Sarain, she is known as Alianne of Meron. In her mother's fierce whispers describing a foreign world, her name is Alianne of Trebond and Olau. Amongst the sand and scrub of the Great Southern Desert, where she and her brother grow up hunted by the false king's men, she is Alya bint Jirjis abu-Saqr Al Bazhir. And when she is fourteen, she becomes Alysa of Mudcreek and leaves every home she has ever known for Roger of Conté's palace.

    Summary

    My (M40s) mother (F76) just told me that she intends to have six (!) daughters with my deceased father and co-parent with my father's secret male lover (M40s). AITA for thinking that there should have been discussion with me about this first?
