    Summary

    What if Elizabeth Bennet had met not a romantic hero, but a less idealised representative of his privileged class and era?

    Fitzwilliam Darcy here does not follow his canonical redemption arc by choosing to learn better. He has wealth and power, and uses both without scruples.

    The social context of early nineteenth-century England was often harsh for the most vulnerable, including women. Their options were cruelly limited by law, custom, and economic dependency, especially when opposed to ruthless men of consequence.

    Not every story ends where you expect. Sometimes the villain stays a villain.

    Content includes themes of explicit, coerced intimacy, emotional manipulation, and morally ambiguous behaviour. Please read with care.

    Intended for adult readers (18+).

    This novel is complete. A new chapter will be posted weekly, usually on Mondays or Fridays.

    Summary

    (Modern AU.) It's hot. Elizabeth keeps going to the same café to write or to relax with a cold drink. At the nearest table, there's this guy. Reading. Day after day, same table, different books.

    Handsome. Not particularly pleasant. Strike that, EXTREMELY unpleasant. God. Elizabeth hates him already.

    Summary

    Mary Bennet knows her role in life: to honour her parents, to be a good Christian, and to accept her lot with faith in the Lord's divine plan. If she sometimes chafes at that role, she hopes she is suitably penitent afterwards.

    One thing she is clear on, after being told so often; Mary's lot is not to marry as her sisters have.

    And if she wonders why, then, she has been sent to London with Kitty... well, her mother never was known for great depths of logic.

    Summary

    What started off as a series of little asides from my fic, Politics and Profanity, centering around Mary and Colonel Fitzwilliam, fitting in between the chapters, as described in the notes.
    What is fast becoming a fully-fledged fic in its own right, about which I have more feels than the main fic.
