Summary
Mary and Tom's wedding night. Both are virgins. Mary is thrilled, terrified, and determined to do it right. Tom is delighted by Mary's Mary-ness and cannot wait to bed his wife. Much awkwardness, tenderness, and eventual steaminess ensues.
AKA I refuse to believe Mary and Tom are naturals at sex but by God they get there eventually.

Summary
Mary Bennett knew what was to happen on her wedding night. Or, more accurately, she sort of knew what was to happen on her wedding night. There were many books hidden under her bed, both in childhood and adulthood, that briefly mentioned the logistics of the activities that would occur, but only in the briefest, most clinical sense.
To be completely frank, she was unsure what the appeal was. Besides, it is not as if she thought she would ever have the opportunity to experience said activities. The only additional information she was provided had come from her sisters, and they all had different ideas of whether or not wifely duties were… pleasurable. And even Lizzie, who had expressed how wonderful her wedding night had been, never went into great detail about what had made it so wonderful.
Now, only a day before her wedding, Mary was more confused than she had ever been. For the first time ever, she had the realization that she would be acting out the intimate details she had read about, not just reading them.-
Or: I thought it would be nice if Mary learned the appeal of intimacy with her husband while he reads a particularly... spicy poem aloud to her.

Summary
Perhaps Ryder would take her on another hike, a better hike, where it wouldn’t rain and no one would interrupt them. Or better yet, he might propose in view of her mother, that she could never again belittle Miss Bennet, or pass judgements on her, for Ryder was a match that would please any discerning mama. (Tom was not, for he had nothing he had not toiled for.) Perhaps they would have a fleeting engagement, and request special permissions to marry as soon as possible, that they might leave for Italy immediately. Perhaps there she might forget about Tom, and about the conversation on the lake, and on the mountain, while drinking sweet wines and breathing sea air. Perhaps that was for the best.

Summary
Mary had told him where to find the book, on the nightstand next to her side of their bed (their bed) where her current favorites often resided. It was there, just as she said it would be, and he went to grab it quickly so as to return to his love as soon as possible, and bask in the joy of her presence as he read to her as long as she wanted, until his voice went hoarse if she wished. He grabbed it so quickly, in fact, that he only managed to snag the cover, and the pages of the book flapped open before he could get a better grip. As they did, something which had been pressed between the pages fluttered to the ground.
After they get married, Tom finds the letter Mary wrote while he was in Yorkshire(Standalone fic but could technically follow the previous fic in the series)
