    Summary

    The story starts when Elizabeth and Maria are staying at the Parsonage at Hunsford. It diverges from canon when Elizabeth receives a package from her father - a copy of the new novel Sense and Sensibility. They start reading it together and this leads to insights into characters and events which had previously been misunderstood. This prevents Darcy making a disastrous proposal in Kent. The pathway is slightly different but they will get their happy ending.

    Be aware that there are major plot spoilers for Sense and Sensibility if you have not already read this!

    My thanks to Jane Austen for creating such wonderful characters and storylines.

    Quotations from Sense and Sensibility are put in italics and page references are from the Wordsworth Classics (1992) edition. Words quoted from Pride and Prejudice are underlined.

    Summary

    Suited for fandom-blind reading

    Astronauts Alan Virdon and Pete Burke wanted to pave the way for mankind’s trek to the stars. Instead, they crash on a strange planet where apes are the masters, and humans are slaves... or even less.

    Their only hope is to find a civilisation on this pre-industrial world that is sophisticated enough to give them the means to send a signal for help back home - and to escape their hunters long enough to be found by ANSA.

    Summary

    [A 90's Era X-Men Self-Insert]

    "There is an old adage among lawyers that says: If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table." – Martin A. Davis, Jr.

    Mutant law is an emergent field, more or less the wild west of the legal profession, and on a good day, you're lucky if the law and facts aren't all dead-set against you. And when your list of recurring clients includes the Wielder of Cerebro and the Master of Magnetism?

    Well... suffice to say, there is plenty of pounding the table to be done.
