Summary
Tom Hayward is a menace, a law school dropout, and an absolute public nuisance to the joint-task force.
Mary Bennet is a brilliant, ruthlessly efficient MI5 desk officer fighting tooth and nail to outrun the gossip of family nepotism.Locked away in a remote corner of the Thames House archives to track a phantom billionaire, they should be focusing on the data. Instead, Tom has made it his personal mission to elevate Mary's blood pressure through elaborate office warfare, and Mary is on the verge of filing a vetting request for his sanity.
An MI5/MI6 Espionage AU full of denial, overused fanfic tropes and of course, yearning.

Summary
It wasn’t as if Mary was moving to another country, London was barely an hour and a half drive from her childhood home. It would be a bit longer now that her mother was moving into Jane’s guest house, but even then it really shouldn’t have been such a big deal. It wasn’t like her mother liked her very much anyway.
Mary sighed again, and her uncle looked into the rearview mirror to ask “You alright back there?”
There was concern in his eyes, something she never seemed to find when it came to her mother. They looked alike, but in moments like this it was obvious how different they were.
“Yes, just nervous.” Mary responded.
Her aunt reached back from the passenger side to give her hand a tight squeeze.
“It’s normal to be nervous, Mary.” She smiled, “But trust me, you’ll thrive here.

Summary
Mary and Tom are book editors in Bloomsbury, skilled at untangling narratives but utterly clueless when it comes to their own.
Modern AU.
Mary closed her eyes and took a breath, trying to ignore the fire that had begun to burn in her chest.
“So, it’s a compromise for you?” she said, her voice trembling with a brittle, rising anger. “You offer me ‘security,’ and in exchange, I devote my life and every waking hour to your whims and travels?”
“I never said—”
“Yet you made it perfectly clear." -

Summary
"She had already helped to engineer Mary’s escape once before. The Gardiners, of course, had been very willing co-conspirators, and she had found a rather unexpected ally in Mr. Collins.
The task of reuniting Mary with Mr. Hayward, however, would not be nearly as simple. Nor could she guarantee that doing so would necessarily bring about a happy result.
However, if Lizzy’s instincts were correct, it had the potential to restore the happiness of more than just her beloved sister."
***
Mary makes the regrettable decision to return to Pemberley with her mother after refusing Mr. Ryder's proposal. Elizabeth Darcy sees an opportunity help her sister in a significant fashion. Hijinks ensue. Canon-divergent.
