Licorice & Ink | Mr. Darcy ✔
Ever since she could walk, Elodie Bennet had expectations set upon her, as many other women did. As the second eldest, she was meant to care for her younger sisters and fulfill her duties without complaint. Being one of the eldest also meant marrying a suitable man as soon as possible to secure her family's financial stability. However, the suitors in town, all of whom she had already met, were rather deficient in admirable qualities, leaving her options quite limited. After initially misjudging the character of a certain Mr. Darcy at a local dance, she finds herself intrigued and determined to uncover the true nature of the man who had captured her curiosity. - 𝐅𝐈𝐓𝐙𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐌 𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐂𝐘 𝐱 𝐅𝐄𝐌!𝐎𝐂 Fitzwilliam Darcy x Fem!OC 𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 #1 in mrdarcy #1 in prideandprejudice #1 in janeausten started 02.17.20 ended 08.14.24Complete

Worst Impressions
A 'Pride and Prejudice' Remix. Beth Bennett, a poor girl in a fancy boarding school, faces class prejudice and romance when the school goes co-ed and she meets arrogant Will Darcy. [THIS STORY IS COMPLETE] ********** Elisabeth 'Beth' Bennett wasn't born in the same circle as the other girls at Netherfield Academy, but her mother's advantageous third marriage has allowed her to enjoy their world. Now she's at the end of her education and is looking forward to what lies beyond. That is, if she can make it to the end of the term in one piece. In a bid to bring in more students, the academy is going co-ed, and has brought in the boys early to test the waters. Among them are Charlie Bingley, a cheerful boy with a soft spot for Beth's best friend, Jenny. His companion William Darcy isn't at all pleased with the situation, or with Beth for that matter. While Beth tries to avoid interacting with the boys wherever possible, it seems fate is determined to throw them together. An adaptation of Jane Austen's classic, 'Pride and Prejudice'.
