A Heart's Persuasion by KiaraDurgapursat

In A Heart's Persuasion, the elegant world of Regency England meets a compelling story of duty and desire. Elizabeth Thornton, the sensible eldest daughter of the respected Lord Thornton, has always understood her role: to marry wisely, ensuring security and status for her family. But her carefully ordered life is upended when Mr. Oliver Bennet-a captivating, unconventional stranger-arrives in Hertfordshire. Despite his carefree nature, he ignites something in Elizabeth that challenges her composure and beliefs about love. Set against the picturesque countryside and within the grand walls of Thornton Manor, Elizabeth finds herself at a crossroads. Torn between her responsibilities and a chance at love, she must decide whether to follow her heart or fulfill her obligations. In this tale of love, longing, and courage, Elizabeth's journey to self-discovery captures the essence of romantic hope amidst the constraints of society. Will she defy convention for the promise of happiness, or let love slip away to maintain the life she has always known?

Pride and Prejudice by kooljay

"Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 romantic novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book, who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and eventually comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. A classic piece filled with comedy, its humour lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage and money during the Regency era in Great Britain. Mr Bennet of Longbourn estate has five daughters, but because his property is entailed it can only be passed from male heir to male heir. Consequently, Mr Bennet's family will be destitute upon his death. Because his wife also lacks an inheritance, it is imperative that at least one of the girls marry well to support the others upon his death, which is a motivation that drives the plot. Jane Austen's opening line--"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife"-is a sentence filled with irony and sets the tone for the book. The novel revolves around the importance of marrying for love, not simply for economic gain or social prestige, despite the communal pressure to make a good (i.e., wealthy) match." -Wikipedia More readable version of "Pride and Prejudice" from the Gutenberg library.

Pride And Prejudice, The Sequel by orangecobra

I have just finished reading Pride and Prejudice for the 100th time, and I really wanted to see how Elizabeth and Darcy handle their married life, so I decided to write my own sequel. This is just to satisfy my own wild side, I have never been to Great Britain (but I would love to!), and I know very little of the 19th century traditions. *I appreciate all the corrections I get on the culture/timeline/location/language/plotline dearly and would do my best to fix my mistakes in the story. I only request that you put a smiley face emoji at the end of a correction 😀. It is not a requirement, but it would be highly appreciated.

Licorice & Ink | Mr. Darcy ✔ by willingly

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 08.14.24
