Summary
What if Elizabeth Bennet had met not a romantic hero, but a less idealised representative of his privileged class and era?
Fitzwilliam Darcy here does not follow his canonical redemption arc by choosing to learn better. He has wealth and power, and uses both without scruples.
The social context of early nineteenth-century England was often harsh for the most vulnerable, including women. Their options were cruelly limited by law, custom, and economic dependency, especially when opposed to ruthless men of consequence.
Not every story ends where you expect. Sometimes the villain stays a villain.
Content includes themes of explicit, coerced intimacy, emotional manipulation, and morally ambiguous behaviour. Please read with care.
Intended for adult readers (18+).
This novel is complete. A new chapter will be posted weekly, usually on Mondays or Fridays.

Summary
I was trying to write Darcy being awkward and unsure about expressing himself even after Elizabeth accepts his hand. Not sure if it depicts that or not, but a short scene, set two weeks after their engagement.
Update: Somehow turned into a series. Chapter 3 added!

Summary
"I am afraid that my news is not the most pleasant," Elizabeth said, wishing there was a chair she could occupy without moving closer to him. As it was, she could not stand still, her heart hammering in her chest. "It has come to my attention that I am increasing."
The words were like a punch to his stomach, and he took a deep breath, steadying himself. "That is certainly not the news I expected. It was only the one time, I had thought, most certainly..."
"Yes, well, the last time we were together--you know the consequences, of course."
****
A passionate ending to the rejected proposal at Hunsford leads to unsought complications: a child. With no other options, Elizabeth seeks out Mr. Darcy–a collection exploring variations on the essential conversation.
