    Summary

    Five years ago they parted. Tonight, they meet again.
    Elizabeth is Mrs. Montleigh. Darcy is married. The world has moved on—at least it ought to have.
    But one evening is enough to remind them how fragile the future can be when the past refuses to stay buried.

    (This work explores morally questionable themes. If that’s not your cup of tea, please don’t click. No agenda here—just me indulging my darker narrative impulses.)

    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

    He looked out toward the sea. "I thought it better not to intrude by presuming your notice after--" he faltered, then said with effort, "after all that has passed between us. I believed it would be unwelcome."

    "Is it your habit," she asked with the faintest smile, "to determine a lady's preferences without consultation?"

    This was not the right thing to say, bringing up those things they would both rather forget. His expression shifted--perhaps embarrassment, perhaps frustration. "I did not mean to offend."

    "No?" She arched an eyebrow. "Then you do it quite by accident, sir."

    ***

    The summer after Mr. Darcy's disasturous proposal, Elizabeth encounters him at the seaside instead of at his home after her travel plans change unexpectedly. There, she discovers the pleasures of both the seaside and the man she unexpectedly shares it with.

    Summary

    Regency England is a delightful place to fall in love, but it is even better when magic is just around the corner.
    Elizabeth Bennet is a bright naturalist with a particular interest in making a study of spiders. She studies her spiders happily in Hertfordshire until it is clear someone is trying to attack her. Her brother John Bennet sends her away to his good friend Duke Darcy's estate in Derbyshire. The duke is a cold, forbidding man, who seems to want to remind Elizabeth that she is not allowed in certain spaces in his estate, but she is far too taken by his handsome features to be scared off for long.
    Fitzwilliam Matlock, the Duke of Darcy is a man who cannot allow himself to love. His family carries a terrible curse, and he refuses to pass that along to his children. He lives in seclusion in his estate Pemberley, seeking to trouble no one and expecting no one to trouble him. That all changes when he honors a favor for an old friend and opens his house up to a Miss Elizabeth Bennet. She immediately disrupts his peace, and far more disturbing to Duke Darcy, she awakens desire and passion he thought he would never have. More surprising still is how their souls are intrinsically intertwined.

    Summary

    Someone commented on Reddit about a fic they'd read where Lydia was abandoned by Wickham, and Darcy employed Lizzie as a "hostess" in London. I spent *hours* looking for it, and since I couldn't find it I started writing my own. This is the result.
    Be aware that this fic revolves around sex work, social attitudes towards sex workers, and women (and girls - the youngest is 14) of the era being forced into sex work through circumstances beyond their control. As such there's a lot of trigger warnings, but since I strongly dislike torture scenes, there are very few explicit depictions of non-consensual activity.
    ODC smut will come eventually but not for a long, long time. We've got a lot of pining to work through to get there, and when we do get there, there will rapidly be more pining but I promise an HEA.

    Summary

    "Elizabeth, please," he looked her in the eye. "I want to fuck you. But if we're going to do this, we should do it right. Let's start over after we both sober up. Dinner tomorrow night, maybe?"

    She stared at him. "Darcy, I don't want to date you. I don't want anything from you except a dick in me. And you're handsome enough, even if I hate you."

    He didn't laugh. Instead, he was looking at her intensely, his fingers trailing down her arm. "You don't want to date me, hate me, even, but you'll let me be your first? Is this really what you're telling me?"

    ***

    Modern AU. Abandoned by Jane and Bingley while drunk, one night at a bar turns into a night Elizabeth and Darcy will remember forever--for better, or worse.

    My interpretation on the story will start at Kent, just before the canon proposal and will go until after they are married. I hope to strike a balance between serious, sweet and sexy.

    Summary

    It began, as so many dreadful things do, at a party.

    Elizabeth Bennet’s first impression of Fitzwilliam Darcy is… unfavourable. Her second and third impressions are hardly any better. He’s aloof and haughty and casually insulting, yet she keeps catching glimpses of something deeper in his character. Which is the only possible explanation for why she can't seem to get him out of her head.

    Free-spirited artist Elizabeth is everything Darcy disapproves of, yet he finds himself captivated by her... and quite desperately attracted. Try as he might he can't stop himself from wanting her, or being drawn back again and again as she works on a mural for his new offices. He can't seem to stay away from her, or stay out of his own way in his attempts to connect with her.

    When the consequences of Darcy’s actions bring the sexual tension between himself and Elizabeth to a head they both think that will be the end of it. Yet circumstances and their own desires keep bringing them together and slowly, gradually, they learn to see beyond those first impressions and forge an understanding—a new, tender understanding that comes just at the moment when Elizabeth’s family finds itself facing a terrible crisis.
