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.Bookmarked by gnomesandtrolls

Summary
“Boy!” Vernon’s voice snapped Harry out of his thoughts. He looked up to see his uncle glaring at him. “Are you even listening?”
“Yes, Uncle Vernon,” Harry muttered, quickly averting his eyes.
Vernon grunted, satisfied, and turned back to his meal. But Harry kept sneaking glances at Petunia, her silence speaking louder than any of Vernon’s rants ever could.
For the first time, Harry wondered if she was trapped too.
When the wards fail after an incident, Harry is cast out of the Dursleys and into the reluctant care of Professor Snape. Silent and spiraling, Harry discovers an unsettling power within him. With a growing Dark Lord, Malfoy under the same roof, and secrets simmering, healing might not be enough to save them.

Harry Potter and the Snake in the Park 'Round his House by sillspore

Summary
The Dursleys were perfectly normal, thank you very much. The family lived on Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey. Their house was neat, but modest; with red brick and a black door, the Dursley home contained two stories and four bedrooms. Their lawn was perfectly manicured, due to one Mrs. Dursley, and their bills were paid in a timely manner, thanks to one Mr. Dursley. There were toys strewn across the back lawn, but of course that was perfectly normal behavior of a young child such as Dudley Dursley. Vernon Dursley worked at a respectable firm in the city, and Petunia Dursley held dinner parties for her neighborhood association each month. Everything about the Dursleys was perfectly normal, with the exception of one small detail.
Harry Potter was anything but normal. This was abundantly clear by the fact that there was a snake hissing at him from the ground and he understood it perfectly.
