Natalia Hawthorne was born and raised in Derbyshire by her widowed, but wealthy mother. When betrayal shatters her engament, she is sent by her mother to her distant cousins house in Hertfordshire for a breath of fresh air where she navigates the path of truth and pain. A/N: I only own Natalia and Mrs. Hawthorne. All other characters belong to Jane Austen. This story loosley follows the events for the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie with my own twists.

I am the house now, Lizzie. I've got you. I'll never let anything break you." In the sweltering heat of 92 Second Street, the air is thick with more than just the scent of stale mutton and brewing storms. It is thick with secrets. For thirty years, Emma Borden has been the architect of her sister's sanity, building a fortress of protection around Lizzie to honor a dying mother's wish. But a house built on repression is a dangerous place to live. Lizzie Borden is a woman of two faces: the pious Sunday School teacher the town respects, and the trapped bird screaming for air behind locked doors. When their miserly father destroys the only thing Lizzie loves, and Emma-the only anchor she has ever known-is pulled away, the foundation finally shatters. What follows is the most infamous crime in American history, but the real tragedy isn't the blood on the walls-it's the silent war between two sisters. One who committed the unthinkable to be free, and one who sacrificed her soul to keep the secret. From the cramped shadows of Second Street to the lonely halls of the Maplecroft mansion, The Anchor and the Ruin explores the psychological breaking point of a woman pushed too far and the sister who stayed by her side... until the silence became too loud to bear. Nineteen blows for the stepmother. Eleven for the father. A lifetime of silence for the sister.

The stage is set, the curtain rises. We are ready to begin. ~ The lights. The music. The people. The money. The rush. John craved everything, all the time. That was before Sherlock. In his veins, there was no blood. Just liquefied rubies rushing in circles through his body, to his pearl fingertips, his gold hair, his sapphire irises. Everything he touched became a mine of perfection, just waiting to be exploited and sold to every crevice in society. That was before Sherlock. When John tried to recall a good life before Sherlock, he failed. Because in this life, he had never held something so precious in his hands as a single silky chestnut curl or a perfectly sculpted alabaster jaw. After he met Sherlock, it was never enough. Lights became unwelcome spotlights. Music became noise. People became ragdolls. Money became worthless. The rush was still there, though. Just a hundred times stronger. They were incandescent. The wick had been set aflame - a raging hellfire that they knew would shatter their ordinary lives. But a flame that blazes so bright is never meant to last. A story of morbid, freakish love and bitter revenge that challenges the rules of the nineteenth century.

This little Boo that could was *not* to be underestimated.

He will do battle with an eccentric, dark-haired college professor and his feisty, unsinkable Italian-American companion, and he *will* be King.
