    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.

    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.

    Summary

    One, Grace and Rocky have saved our planet, and everyone on it.

    Two, we are heading ten light years in the opposite direction, and I am never going home.

    The never going home part I was prepared for. Hell, I’ve got enough meth to kill a horse stashed somewhere on this ship, and my loved ones have a lot of really great letters to open when this is all over, but that’s not the point.

    The point is, I was ready to die. I was planning on it. I was going to be part of the crack team that saved Earth and die a hero out in space on some kind of epic high. These two have just totally fucked me over.

    -

    Hurtling through space on the trip back to Erid, an accidental stowaway doctor realises she's slept through the entire world-saving adventure and is now on the return trip to an alien planet. If that wasn't enough, her roommates are her long-time crush and a sarcastic rock with no concept of boundaries. The next four years on board the Hail Mary are about to be awfully cosy...

    Summary

    Tom Hayward and Mary Bennet were very happy to be engaged, even if the Gardiners had decided that they had to be chaperoned at all times now.

    But it was quite fine, they were going to be married in a few weeks, they could tolerate it and behave themselves. Couldn’t they?

    Summary

    Mary had told him where to find the book, on the nightstand next to her side of their bed (their bed) where her current favorites often resided. It was there, just as she said it would be, and he went to grab it quickly so as to return to his love as soon as possible, and bask in the joy of her presence as he read to her as long as she wanted, until his voice went hoarse if she wished. He grabbed it so quickly, in fact, that he only managed to snag the cover, and the pages of the book flapped open before he could get a better grip. As they did, something which had been pressed between the pages fluttered to the ground.

    Summary

    Falling to her feet, Mr Hayward assessed her situation. “Are you okay Miss Bennet? Are you hurt?”

    Holding back the fact that, yes, she was indeed in quite a lot of pain, Mary shook her head. “No, I am okay.” As Hayward’s hand grasped her boot she could not hide a grimace. “Well, maybe a little in pain. I slipped and found myself caught between these two rocks. Boulders really, volcanic-“

    “Miss Bennet,” the gentleman interrupted. “I am going to try to release you, if it hurts, please let me know.”

    Summary

    “You are a fool of a man, Thomas Hayward.” Mary stated but she did not attempt to hide the affection in her tone.

    “I am a man who loves his wife, Mary Hayward.” He responded and it seemed as if that was all that was needed, for his wife sighed in the poorest attempt at irritation he had ever heard, and began to read aloud.

    He truly was a weak man for Mary Hayward.

    Summary

    And Tom had just a second to decide. Because he could sit and wallow and sulk as Ryder ruined his plans as he seemed so intent to do. He could allow Ryder to join them, to no doubt return to his vigorous efforts to charm Mary, to remind him of all the ways in which his friend might be a better husband to the woman he loved than he would be.
    Or he could seize what little time he had left.
