    Summary

    Her aunt’s question is gentle, there is no ulterior motive or underlying teasing. She takes her hand as if it is simple.

    (And, Mary supposes, it should be. But it never has been, not for her.)

    Pins and needles shoot through her fingers and she breathes through the absurdity, hating herself for it. It is too much. She pulls her hand away from her aunt, skin tingling, and breathes.

     

    Or: In which Mary finds family, love and home - and she flourishes.

    Summary

    "She had already helped to engineer Mary’s escape once before. The Gardiners, of course, had been very willing co-conspirators, and she had found a rather unexpected ally in Mr. Collins.

    The task of reuniting Mary with Mr. Hayward, however, would not be nearly as simple. Nor could she guarantee that doing so would necessarily bring about a happy result.

    However, if Lizzy’s instincts were correct, it had the potential to restore the happiness of more than just her beloved sister."

    ***

    Mary makes the regrettable decision to return to Pemberley with her mother after refusing Mr. Ryder's proposal. Elizabeth Darcy sees an opportunity help her sister in a significant fashion. Hijinks ensue. Canon-divergent.

    Summary

    He said she had been lonely. That she had confused it. That things had "blurred a bit".

    He was wrong. He knew he was wrong when he said it.

    Mary Bennet is not waiting for him... She's just... Also in Keswick, apparently.
