Summary
The marriage of convenience fic no one asked for.
The morning after the Netherfield Ball, while Mr Collins is proposing to Elizabeth, Mr Bennet collapses. With her father unconscious and apparently near death, her mother pressuring her to marry Mr Collins, and the gentleman himself ignoring her protests, suddenly saying 'no' is not so easy. Faced with poverty and homelessness if she continues refusing, the gossip soon reaches Netherfield that she will have to marry Mr Collins. Just as Mr Darcy is about to mount his horse and follow Mr Bingley to London, never to return, he overhears the servants talking. The thought of Elizabeth married to a fool like Mr Collins is unbearable to him, and he resolves to make her a better offer. But, when she refuses him, he finds that he's willing to do anything for love - even marry her without the hope of being with her.

Summary
He chokes on her first blessing. Motes of god-light rise from his skin like dust in a rotting house. Like pious little fungal spores.
Tavstarion wherein Tav is a half-orc cleric of Ilmater named Lash. Heavy emphasis on how Astarion interacts with the cleric bit specifically. Contains h/c, overbearing religious symbolism, and (potentially) facing God to walk backwards into hell.

The secret to surviving is simple. It’s the execution that poses problems.
Don’t die.
It’s that easy.
auri knows people, and that's how she can tell; astarion is deeply, deeply fucked up.

Summary
“You know you’ve got a willing slave,” were the words Spike sang. Buffy dismissed them at the time, her mind and her heart not ready to accept what that might mean. While Buffy finds herself on the wrong side of a demon mafia, Spike takes it upon himself to show her, and himself, the true meaning of his words.

Summary
“You’ll be safe here. No Alpha will ever see you. Except for him,” her smile is sad as she peppers in a mention of the Alpha as an afterthought. “He’s our caretaker. He mostly fixes things around the convent and attends mass with us. He won’t issue any commands to you.”
Rey doesn’t move until the breeze from the window drops the scent. Even distant, it’s strong.
Bazine snorts at Rose, her drumming abandoned for now. Rey does hope this isn’t a common habit for a roommate.
“In order to issue commands, he’d have to talk. At all.”
Bazine emphasizes this by making a cutting motion with her hand across her throat.

didn’t know I harbor Catholic guilt until I read this and it resonated so hard
