    Summary

    The Gardiners make the match.

    It is not love at first sight, or second, or third.

    It is love that comes later - in the accumulation of shared steps and conversations in the dark. In a stranger becoming, without your noticing, the first person you want to tell things to.

    In having the deeply inconvenient realisation, somewhere in your marriage, that you have a crush on your spouse.

    OR: Mary and Tom have a regency era marriage of convenience

    Summary

    When Mrs Reynolds officiously informs Darcy that she will not continue on at Pemberley if he brings his termagant of a cousin, Anne, to be its Mistress, Darcy is forced to realise that his view of duty has been dictating his entire life--and he is miserable.

    "I am sure your mother and father would not wish you to sacrifice your future felicity on the altar of family duty!" she tells him boldly. "Do you not have a duty to Pemberley, to Miss Darcy, and, forgive me for being so bold, to yourself, sir?"

    He decides his faithful housekeeper is right. He is allowed to choose--the colour of his waistcoats, what he eats for supper, and ultimately, his own bride!

    Meanwhile, Elizabeth Bennet has been striving with blood, sweat, and tears to maintain some of her family's respectability, but with her mother's decline, her father's indolence, and her home farm's desperate drainage problems, it is only a matter of time before she breaks under the strain of it all.

    Will the arrival of a certain landowner from Derbyshire relieve her burdens at last? Or will the officious interference of his noble relations keep them apart?
