    Summary

    It began, as so many dreadful things do, at a party.

    Elizabeth Bennet’s first impression of Fitzwilliam Darcy is… unfavourable. Her second and third impressions are hardly any better. He’s aloof and haughty and casually insulting, yet she keeps catching glimpses of something deeper in his character. Which is the only possible explanation for why she can't seem to get him out of her head.

    Free-spirited artist Elizabeth is everything Darcy disapproves of, yet he finds himself captivated by her... and quite desperately attracted. Try as he might he can't stop himself from wanting her, or being drawn back again and again as she works on a mural for his new offices. He can't seem to stay away from her, or stay out of his own way in his attempts to connect with her.

    When the consequences of Darcy’s actions bring the sexual tension between himself and Elizabeth to a head they both think that will be the end of it. Yet circumstances and their own desires keep bringing them together and slowly, gradually, they learn to see beyond those first impressions and forge an understanding—a new, tender understanding that comes just at the moment when Elizabeth’s family finds itself facing a terrible crisis.

    Summary

    After losing his hand, home, and mother to a fire, Jaime's zest for life and muse are at rock bottom. He hears of an opportunity for a rustic retreat on Tarth and takes the first ferry there.

    -

    How would your friend describe this fic to you if they were talking about it casually, maybe trying to convince you to read it too? "You know that trope of 'mysterious older, hot man comes to farm girl's farm for a sultry summer of microdrama and sex, but they catch feelings and go through some shit?' Yea it's that but takes place in winter, Jaime is a painter, MOMMY ISSUES, and there's a lot more emotional pitfalls, cuz this was originally two separate porn fics the author mashed together and then got too deep into it, so it became plot with porn. Oh and that 'draw me like one of your French girls' scene from Titanic, but sexier and won't make you laugh and take you out of the moment."
