    Summary

    After six months of almosts, Mary Bennet and Tom Hayward are finally together.
    But Mary has never been in love before, and discovering that someone wants her is one thing; believing she deserves to be happy with him is another.
    As summer ends and autumn begins, Mary and Tom begin the strange, exhilarating business of being a couple, and she begins to discover that love isn't something she has to earn by becoming someone else.
    Elsewhere, Will Ryder is beginning to realise that Caroline Bingley likes him. The problem is that he may be starting to realise he likes her too. He's just going to need rather a lot of help figuring that out.

    Or: what happened after the six months of yearning in happiness hit her! A work in progress.

    Summary

    He said she had been lonely. That she had confused it. That things had "blurred a bit".

    He was wrong. He knew he was wrong when he said it.

    Mary Bennet is not waiting for him... She's just... Also in Keswick, apparently.

    Summary

    Mary Bennet has spent most of her life being rational, useful for her family and being good at avoiding unnecessary risks.

    Moving to London for a six-month graduate paralegal programme is supposed to be the beginning of something different. So when Mary attends a networking reception the weekend before her first day, argues with an attractive lawyer about Wordsworth, drinks slightly more wine than intended and kisses him in a side room, Mary knew that some risks were almost fun to take.

    That is until Monday morning, when she realizes Thomas Hayward was the lawyer she kissed.

    And her new boss.

    Summary

    "Just come home, James. You’re already late.” Home, is it now? This flat he has occupied for a little over a year, now. Yes, Mycroft supposed.
    Still. It hardly resembles that of two college boys surviving academia. Mycroft looks from the island to the sitting space. Neat. Everything in order. A pie in the making. A flower in a glass on the windowsill. Sherlock with dough-smudged fingertips, on speakerphone asking James to come home...
    ---
    Featuring a family beach vacation, a nosy sister's boyfriend, an absolutely done Mycroft, Sherlock's exceedingly creative explanations for why he wants to smother James with affection, bed-sharing, shirtless cuddling, trauma-bonding, and other fun stuff.

    Summary

    A man from James’s past stops and speaks to him in the street in London as he and Sherlock are passing their time. The man talks to him in Gaelic and James goes white…. Sherlock doesn't yet know what going on but knows he’ll do what ever James needs to help. Old family - and chosen family - loyalties are more complex than they might seem. Sometimes there’s just a paper thin divide between them and betrayal. And no-one’s past is what it seems.
