    Summary

    Authors Note: This is a companion/side-along piece to the Brighton Effect.

    I wanted to tell the story of Lizzy and Darcy but I found it difficult from a strict Kitty POV (and there are only so many times you can have Kitty lurking in bushes to eavesdrop. I will note which chapters correspond in the Brighton Effect. This chapter corresponds with Chapter Nine.

    Summary: Lizzy returns from a pleasant and illuminating Derbyshire visit to discover just how close her family came to ruin while she was away.

    Summary

    As Coach Wilson peered out the window in the living room, May said, very quietly, “You didn’t realise your brother worked at Peter’s school?”

    “We all make mistakes!” Sam hissed.

    Then Coach Wilson was leaning back and a figure in a hoodie and jeans stepped through the window and into the living room, and Peter’s heart sank into his stomach like a rock. Sam’s brother was, true to story, scarred from head to toe. He could see the puckered skin on his hands, the burns across his bald head. But that wasn’t the shocking part—the shocking part was that he’d already seen it before: he’d seen it when a certain vigilante’s suit had been destroyed three nights before, and Peter had walked with him back to his backpack to loan him some clothes.

    “This is Wade,” Sam introduced.

    Sam Wilson had two brothers: one was Peter’s gym teacher, and the other was fucking Deadpool.

     

    OR: A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Family Dinner, during which Peter and May meet Sam's family. Meanwhile, Tony sends constant text updates about his search for whoever graffiti-ed Avengers Tower.

    Summary

    In the few short months of her marriage, Elizabeth has already learnt to revel in the restorative powers of a Pemberley dawn. But she's going to need a bit more than that if this idyll is going to survive a visit of a most unexpected nature.

    Cross posted from FF with typos and other little problems fixed (hopefully!)

    Summary

    Another imagining of the final chapters of Pride and Prejudice.

    In this variation, Elizabeth never hears the truth of Darcy’s involvement in Lydia and Wickham’s wedding from Lydia or the Gardiners, and Lady Catherine never comes to call. Instead, Elizabeth and Darcy must resolve their feelings without this external assistance. And when Darcy and Bingley come to call at Longbourn, a suggestion from Mrs. Bennet that they go walking leads to an earlier and more open conversation between Elizabeth and Darcy.
