    Summary

    The epilogue to "A Summer's Ball" - scenes from the first twelve months after the wedding of Charlotte Heywood and Alexander Colbourne. While there will be references from that fic that do not happen in canon, it's also general enough that, without much squinting, it could be a Heybourne Happy Ever After in many other universes!

    Summary

    Mr Darcy becomes aware of the general expectation of the neighbourhood during the Netherfield ball but he doesn't follow Bingley to London to warn him away from Jane. Instead, he decides to get to know her for a better sense of her feelings towards his dearest friend—and the friendship that forms between Darcy and Jane has impacts on more than just themselves.

    Summary

    "I had hoped," he said cautiously, "that my declaration might have improved me somewhat in your estimation."

    "It has not." A pause. Elizabeth prayed for someone, anyone, to come and save her from this conversation. "You are still the most alarming man I know." At that, unexpectedly, his expression gentled. Alarmingly.

    "And yet," he said quietly, "you said yes." The worst part was that he did not sound triumphant. Elizabeth could have endured triumph. She was prepared for self congratulation of heroic proportions. What she had not prepared for was this bewildered sort of hope, as though he genuinely could not believe she had chosen him. Which by anyone's estimations was an absurd notion. He was Fitzwilliam Darcy, after all. Filthy rich, handsome, absurdly well connected, and currently looking at her like she had personally invented happiness.

    In which Elizabeth accepts Darcy's first proposal in order to provide for her family. What begins as a simple business arrangement for Elizabeth quickly turns into an unexpected discovery of the truth of Darcy that lies beneath his arrogant exterior.

    Summary

    Caroline Bingley and every other lady in Hertfordshire seem determined to catch Mr. Darcy's eye. Mr. Darcy desperately tries to close his eyes.

    Mr. Collins is deep in his belief that pursuing his fair cousin will make her all the more attracted to him. He is wrong. He is so wrong that she agrees to form an attachment with Mr. Darcy, who she's sworn to dislike for the rest of time, just to avoid having to marry her detestable cousin.
    Now, she's attached to him like a mosquito to a type-O human, and somehow she's starting to... change him?! He's less prideful! *gasp* He's attentive! *gasp* He's... getting handsomer?!! *double gasp*

    Summary

    If Elizabeth and Georgiana were the same age...Darcy might have accepted the introduction to Lizzy at the Meryton assembly because it wasn't right after Ramsgate.

    Then...banter, lots of banter.
