Summary
AU. What if Lydia's trip to Brighton were prevented? Longbourn is in uproar, Elizabeth has Darcy's letter on her mind, and Pemberley is waiting. When she and Darcy meet again, he has no dramatic rescue by which to prove himself — only patience, honesty, and smaller proofs. Slow-burn P&P variation.

Summary
"I had hoped," he said cautiously, "that my declaration might have improved me somewhat in your estimation."
"It has not." A pause. Elizabeth prayed for someone, anyone, to come and save her from this conversation. "You are still the most alarming man I know." At that, unexpectedly, his expression gentled. Alarmingly.
"And yet," he said quietly, "you said yes." The worst part was that he did not sound triumphant. Elizabeth could have endured triumph. She was prepared for self congratulation of heroic proportions. What she had not prepared for was this bewildered sort of hope, as though he genuinely could not believe she had chosen him. Which by anyone's estimations was an absurd notion. He was Fitzwilliam Darcy, after all. Filthy rich, handsome, absurdly well connected, and currently looking at her like she had personally invented happiness.
In which Elizabeth accepts Darcy's first proposal in order to provide for her family. What begins as a simple business arrangement for Elizabeth quickly turns into an unexpected discovery of the truth of Darcy that lies beneath his arrogant exterior.

Summary
Mary drew her awareness to the way her shoulders relaxed and her heart rate slowed as she dutifully performed the sham effort of joining the back of the long line to the counter. It didn’t seem to matter that she was always dressed in unflattering bright blue scrubs, or that she wore a garish surgical cap featuring Bluey characters, Tom reliably caught her eye, gave her a slow, admiring wink, and set about prioritising the order he knew by heart over the demands of all the other waiting customers.
Dr Mary Bennet, paediatric trauma surgeon, knew of only one source of reprieve for the heavy burden she daily bore in the operating theatre - the kind eyes and easy charm of the Irish barista at Cup & Clover, the hospital café.
(Someone who has worked for all he has and made a success of himself would surely be far more attractive to a current-day career woman than some manchild with a trust-fund.)
Hence I give you the Surgeon/Barista AU you never knew you needed.

Summary
A fluffy story for people who like Mr Darcy and cats. A light-hearted, hopefully amusing, and absolutely not serious story.
