    Summary

    "Welcome home," she said, and heard the brittleness in her own voice, the mockery of the sentiment.

    "This has not been home for some time, madam. For either of us."

    Then he was gone, and Elizabeth was left in her carefully claimed sitting room, staring at a book she could not read, wondering how they had arrived at this--two people bound together by law and circumstance, which neither could escape, circling each other like wounded animals in a house too small for their shared misery.

    ***

    Trapped in an unhappy marriage, Elizabeth learns how to love her husband.

    Summary

    Elizabeth Bennet always liked drawing, but her mother considered it an unnecessary skill for a young lady. Her father, thankfully, disagreed. ~~~
    When Mr. Bennet passes away the family hopes rest on Jane. Elizabeth introduces her sister to eligible men by using her as a chaperone when she is commissioned to paint at grand estates.
    Meanwhile, after a disastrous season in London, Georgiana Darcy retreats to Pemberley determined to think of nothing but music until the day she dies. Lady Catherine de Bourgh begins a ruthless campaign to bring her niece back into the social fray. Her first step is to have Georgiana’s portrait painted, to be displayed at Rosings Park. Elizabeth is unwittingly brought into the centre of Georgiana’s plans for freedom.
    E/D, J/B. Fluff and drama. I'll be updating tags as I go.

    Summary

    Caroline turned away again, her jaw tightening almost imperceptibly.

    This was absurd.

    She had been placed — maneuvered — into this situation. Separated from Lady Catherine, from the sphere in which her attentions might be properly directed and, more importantly, properly observed. Installed instead in a light, exposed carriage with a younger son whose fortune was uncertain and whose prospects, while respectable, were by no means assured.

    It was, she thought, a test.

    Or a trap.

    All orchestrated by Eliza Bennet Mrs. Darcy.

    Very well.

    If she could not avoid it, she would endure it — and on her own terms. She suddenly felt very cross, and became determined to make Colonel Fitzwilliam feel very cross as well.
