Summary
"The Princess graciously waved to the throngs of supporters gathered outside her country's embassy." A load of manure, that's what that was. Why couldn't they tell the real story? Her eyes were like stars. She forgot to be shy when she smiled. She moved like a dancer when not weighed down by formal gowns and jewels. She could earn her living as a cook, if only she had someone to cook for.

Summary
“Morochka,” she says to him one night, lying piled up in snowdrift blankets while he stares into the fir bough fire, “How many girls have you loved, since the beginning of time?”
(of the two of them, it was always going to be Vasya who took matters into her own two hands, and Morozko, for all his many ages in the world, is almost entirely oblivious)

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.)
