    Summary

    News of Lydia’s abusive marriage horrifies Kitty. Terrified of marrying a brutal man, unable to prevent her mother’s relentless matchmaking, Kitty leaves Longbourn to work as a companion. Vivacious and skilled, she discovers a talent for helping awkward girls bloom. She also gains notoriety for being a shameless flirt, spurning any suitors who dare to ask for her hand. Her carefree confidence is shattered when her charge is forced into the kind of marriage Kitty fears. Disillusioned, bitter and hurt, Kitty turns to Lizzie - whose comfort comes in the form of an unlikely challenge. (E/D, K/F. Includes drama, matchmaking, angst, sarcasm, lots of flirting and a happy ending.) **Archive warning is for reference to non-con and not explicit scenes of rape**

    Summary

    The Bennet ladies adore the French lace and silks they receive through secretive night-time deliveries and when Mr. Darcy - who works alongside the War Office to end the scourge of smuggling across the British Isles - comes to Netherfield Hall and discovers the community flaunting these wares, conflict is inevitable. Will Mr Darcy's burgeoning interest in the effervescent Miss Elizabeth distract him from his real purpose in visiting Meryton? And will Lizzy's scandalous secret relationship lead to her downfall?

    Summary

    The tumbleweeds and cowboys of the west were met with a new crowd in 1870s Montana: Charles and Caroline Bingley, and their friend Mr Darcy. When they come to stay at Longbourn Inn, owned by the Bennet family, everyone's lives take an unexpected turn. New friends, enemies, and lovers emerge.

    First few chapters are a wild west retelling of the beloved "Pride and Prejudice," but eventually we will diverge a bit. Also yes, the title is a reference to Cowboy like me by Taylor Swift :)

    Summary

    Mary Bennet was quick to resign herself from the prospect of romance. In what she considered a logically defensive measure against rejection, or worse, indifference.

    When Mary comes to understand that matrimony appears to be the very thing she must enter to shun the threat of society’s tender feelings entirely, will she be able to act in accordance?
    —-
    “I have little expectation of you Miss Bennet that is concerned more with you than it is of me. To put it concisely, I wish to be friends with you because I am of the theory that similar history makes for good company and I am of the impression that we are both interlopers.”

    The morning after the Netherfield ball, Mr Collins proposes to Lizzie and is rejected.

Darcy acts on impulse: to save Elizabeth’s reputation, he claims they have been secretly betrothed for months.

    A false engagement, a forced marriage, scandal, conflicting emotions, misunderstandings, and, of course, their own pride and prejudices - amidst it all, will our two beloved characters find the truest and deepest love?

    Summary

    Kitty Bennet has always lived under her sister’s shadow. After a life of being an unwilling accomplice to Lydia’s greedy schemes, she struggles to find her own way after her sisters are married. Although her quick sense of humour makes her a social butterfly, she struggles to free herself from Lydia’s ruthless control and the whisper of scandal that haunts her. A crippling accident forces everyone to see Kitty as more than just the family fool - but how can she win this new fight, when she cannot conquer the old? D/E, J/B, C/?, fluff and scandal. COMPLETE! Now adding BONUS CHAPTERS at the end, because I'm enjoying writing the characters too much to end it just because the actual plot has finished. XD

    Summary

    When Elizabeth Bennet receives word of Lydia’s scandal while visiting Derbyshire, her world begins to unravel. A death in the family soon follows, and with it, the weight of duty grows heavier than ever. Now living in London with her relatives, far from all she once knew, Elizabeth must navigate grief, social expectations, and an unexpected proposal.
    She is willing to do whatever it takes to protect those she loves, but at what cost? Can love still bloom when honor demands sacrifice?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Elizabeth is no longer the spirited girl we first met—grief, loss, and the burden of responsibility have altered her. And yet, even in her silence, her will to protect those she loves remains unbroken.
    This is a tale of emotional survival, redemption, and the quiet power of enduring love.
    Thank you for joining me on this journey. I hope you’ll find in this version of Elizabeth and Darcy something both familiar and new.
    Comments, kudos, and thoughts are always welcome—they keep me writing. 🌸
