    Summary

    When a letter from Mrs. Bennet casts doubt on Mary’s capacity to be loved, Tom makes the mistake of trying to carry it alone.

    Mary, meanwhile, spends one evening remembering exactly what it feels like to be the problem.

    They work it out…….. but not gracefully.

    Summary

    Mr and Mrs Hayward are, quite undoubtedly, very much in love. Everything else, one supposes, ought to follow naturally… right? Yet the night of their wedding proves both an exciting and a daunting prospect for Mary, who has found only the poorest and most unhelpful sources on the subject of what is to come.

    Still, however inexperienced, she and her husband endeavour to make the most of their first night together.

    Summary

    He'd heard about it before, in whispers from the sort of men who went to gentlemen's clubs and brothels. An act that was pleasurable for the woman, though perhaps debasing for the man. 

    Tom didn't think it could be. 

    It was a hunger that lived deep inside him, and he needed to satisfy it desperately. 

    AKA: Tom wants to go down on Mary. Badly.

    Summary

    Mary and Tom are book editors in Bloomsbury, skilled at untangling narratives but utterly clueless when it comes to their own.

    Modern AU.

    Mary closed her eyes and took a breath, trying to ignore the fire that had begun to burn in her chest.
    “So, it’s a compromise for you?” she said, her voice trembling with a brittle, rising anger. “You offer me ‘security,’ and in exchange, I devote my life and every waking hour to your whims and travels?”
    “I never said—”
    “Yet you made it perfectly clear."

    Summary

    Tom stood quite still on the threshold, breath coming in distracted puffs. Before him lay the evidence of his weakness, his inability to provide and protect, and proof that he had no right to propose to her.
