    Summary

    Elizabeth tours Pemberley with the Gardiners a year early, while the Darcys are away at Ramsgate. She is intrigued by the housekeeper's glowing praise of a man who is highly respected by his servants and tenants, and a doting guardian to his much younger sister, not to mention so handsome in his portrait. But when she meets him in person two months later in Hertfordshire, he doesn't quite match Mrs Reynolds' description.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Instead of "Teaze him—laugh at him":

    ""Nothing could be easier," Elizabeth immediately replied with a smile. "Mr Darcy flatters us, but he would hate to be the recipient of such behaviour. Praise him until his discomfort forces him to apologise."

    "Flattery as punishment! You are too much, Miss Eliza. Really, whoever heard of a man who does not like to have his ego stroked?"

    Elizabeth looked archly at him [...]

    "Flattery and praise are different things, Miss Elizabeth," he said. "Flattery appeals to empty vanity, which is a weakness it has been the study of my life to avoid, with, I hope, some success. However, when a person has made a great effort, or has cause to be particularly proud, modestly expressed praise can only be pleasing."

    "What a perfectly stated explanation, Mr Darcy," she replied, with wide eyes and her hand to her cheek. "Have you done much study in this area, or is it simply a result of your abundant natural intelligence?"

    "Actually, I—"

    He snapped his mouth shut.

    "Mr Darcy is well known for his intelligence," Caroline said. "If you spent time in our circles in London, you would need not ask."

    "I certainly believe it," Elizabeth replied, nodding solemnly. "Intelligence and such an august, dignified manner, too! Why, he is far too great to even darken the door of Netherfield. We are truly blessed to have him here."

    "Indeed, but as my brother's intimate friend—and mine, too, of course—he has deemed our little country manor worthy of his time, after all."

    "Enough, enough!" cried Darcy. "You ladies win. I retract my words from before."

    "Win?" Caroline asked, tilting her head."

    "Mr. Bennet valued Elizabeth for the sharpness of her mind, and considered her as the finest companion, with whom his marriage had furnished him."

    Summary

    The marriage of convenience fic no one asked for.

    The morning after the Netherfield Ball, while Mr Collins is proposing to Elizabeth, Mr Bennet collapses. With her father unconscious and apparently near death, her mother pressuring her to marry Mr Collins, and the gentleman himself ignoring her protests, suddenly saying 'no' is not so easy. Faced with poverty and homelessness if she continues refusing, the gossip soon reaches Netherfield that she will have to marry Mr Collins. Just as Mr Darcy is about to mount his horse and follow Mr Bingley to London, never to return, he overhears the servants talking. The thought of Elizabeth married to a fool like Mr Collins is unbearable to him, and he resolves to make her a better offer. But, when she refuses him, he finds that he's willing to do anything for love - even marry her without the hope of being with her.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “You wished to lay it all to rest,” Elizabeth says, slowly. “You wanted to give me your black pebbles of doubt, so I could laugh at them and crush them and reduce them to dust.” [...] “And instead, I…”

    She stops.

    “And instead,” he says, “I crushed you.”

    Summary

    *Sequel to The Wolf Wakes*

    _

    "You look like shit, Chuckles.”

    Solas’ lips twitch, just slightly, and in the dim light he raises his head and looks Varric in the eye.

    “Is that how you would introduce me, were I a character in one of your books? I’m curious. If you were writing me into being, what words would you choose?”

    __

    After losing Athera and giving his orb to Corypheus, Solas has no choice but to join the fledgling Inquisition and try to make things right. But with a nosy dwarf and an even nosier spy master knowing far more of him than they should, this time everything is different. A wolf without a pack is vulnerable, and Solas is in no state to play games.

    Now updated with art by @yolebrat and @CourtneyCranberry!
