Summary
“A woman,” Roberta Meserole had said once, lighting a long black cigarette with a silver lighter, “hides in plain sight. Visibility, Haveline, is our most important asset—”
She looked up. Around. “Haveline,” she said, “that is not funny.”
--
or, how Ankh-Morpork acquired its first female Patrician very, very quietly.

Summary
One would think that having the name of one's soulmate appear on one's wrist on one's sixteenth birthday would make matrimony much less complicated. It mostly does not. And not at all for Miss Elizabeth Bennet of Longbourne.
(A deconstruction of the "soulmate identifying mark" trope, using "Pride and Prejudice." Trigger warnings in the tags.)

Summary
"I had been so miserable, ever since you fell in love with Cynthia and then left for Africa. I wrote to you never expecting that you could ever return the affection and esteem that I felt for you; I knew that you looked on me only as a sister, as you had always done. But I think that I loved you ever since you first comforted me, long ago, when you found me crying over my father's marriage."
