Summary
The moment Parker saw the stranger standing by the elevator, a dozen alarm bells went off in her head. She froze, and Hardison nearly walked into her as he entered behind her. It took her a moment to realize that while half of the alarm bells were telling her to get the fuck out of there, the other half were telling her to look closer.
Or, Eliot Spencer is a recent war veteran who just moved to Portland in an attempt to lead a calmer lifestyle. He ends up with some weird neighbors, but it's Portland, everyone's a little weird.

Summary
“It’s Thanksgiving. Want to skip that long, insulting conversation about how you’re still single? About how your parents want more grandchildren? Well, look no further. I am a 30 year old army vet with no diploma, some impressive scars, and a super beat up pickup truck. I work at a culinary institute with some catering and bartending on the side. If you’d like to have me as your strictly platonic date for Thanksgiving, but have me pretend to be in a very long or serious relationship with you to torment your family, I’m game. I’ll happily: hit on other guests (regardless of gender), start instigative discussions about politics or religion, propose to you in front of everyone, pretend to be super drunk, or start an actual, physical fight with your least favorite family member (and win). All I ask for in payment is the meal itself, plus I’m happy to bring a dish of your choosing.”
Or, Eliot posts a Craigslist ad so he can have a homecooked Thanksgiving meal, and ends up with so, so much more.

Summary
She doesn’t like parties without George at her side to murmur sharp little asides to, or bring her champagne, or dance with her when the song is slow enough. She doesn't like parties where everyone looks at her like she's a three-legged puppy because her husband- her ex-husband- stays glued to the opposite side of the room as though she's got a forcefield around her.
In which Bertha and George are divorced, and make it everyone else's problem.

Serpent's Poison by deniseks_syd

Summary
Throughout winter, after Caroline and Louisa closed Netherfield and returned to town, they amused themselves by recounting their experiences with Meryton’s country bumpkins and ridiculing the most prominent local family, the Bennets. They never imagined that their malicious words would spread slowly and insidiously like a poison and stop them from ever ascending to the highest society, as they so desired.
- - -
Note: The title Serpent’s Poison was inspired by the biblical imagery of a venomous tongue, a potent weapon of malice and deceit.Serpent's poison, unseen, subtle, and insidious, serves as a fitting metaphor of the veiled and indirect style of communication prevalent during the Regency era.
