    Summary

    "Welcome home," she said, and heard the brittleness in her own voice, the mockery of the sentiment.

    "This has not been home for some time, madam. For either of us."

    Then he was gone, and Elizabeth was left in her carefully claimed sitting room, staring at a book she could not read, wondering how they had arrived at this--two people bound together by law and circumstance, which neither could escape, circling each other like wounded animals in a house too small for their shared misery.

    ***

    Trapped in an unhappy marriage, Elizabeth learns how to love her husband.

    Summary

    "You do not think very highly of me, Miss Bennet. I must say I am surprised you have come to my door, but I have little idea of what you want from me."

    Elizabeth opened her mouth, then closed it again. Her heart beat furiously in her chest, and she was acutely aware of her own breath, which seemed to come in short gasps. "I am with child, Mr. Darcy." She couldn't look at him, couldn't bear to uncover his reaction to the news. "I didn't know what else to do."

    ***

    A passionate ending to the rejected proposal at Hunsford leads to unsought complications: a child. With no other options, Elizabeth seeks out Mr. Darcy.

    Summary

    ****
    When Elizabeth Bennet finds herself bound to a scandalous marriage bargain that would save her family home at the cost of her honor, she flees.
    Pursued by the very men who would claim her, she runs straight into the path of the one man she has sworn to despise.
    Her instinct to trust Darcy—against all reason—sets in motion a chain of events that will alter both their lives forever.
    In a world that mistakes virtue for compliance, one reckless plea forces Darcy to confront the truth: that honourable men do not always wait, and that cowardice can sometimes hide behind restraint.

    OR

    The one where Elizabeth begs a favor -- a very improper favor. ;-)

     

    Thank you all for loving on this fic. I’ve decided to make it a full story because of YOU!

    I've never really written for a theme before, but a scene dropped into my lap while I was thinking about the "let the ladies propose" prompt. I think my brain is still processing my first reading of the ancient poem The Wanderer, and I've been dwelling a lot on noble knights and love-struck heroes lately.

    Just a little blip of a scene. Could be a fun story?
