Summary
This story stems from a variation to canon. Instead of Charlotte Lucas engaging Mr. Collins in order to present herself as a potential wife, here she removes Mr. Collins from Longbourn to Lucas Lodge before Lizzie throws caution to the wind and murders him (so to speak).
Mr. Collins, having been rejected by Lizzie, then decides to propose to Charlotte, only for her to turn him down flat. She then decides to educate him as to why she said no. Not for her own sake, but so that he stops spouting such rubbish, and becomes a better man.
Collins himself finds that he is intrigued by her pointed questions, and so (with her father's permission), the two of them start a correspondence...

Summary
This was inspired by a comment on a story by the highly skilled honey_and_smoke, who wrote the story “The Living at Kymptom”.
I am not sure why, but in the space of a few hours, this poetry just flowed out of me. There is a little bit of Pride and Prejudice in it.

Summary
I loved the New Zealand comic strip Footrot Flats (1976-1994) when I was younger. For those who don't know it, here's the fan site: https://www.footrotflats.com/
One of the running gags in the story was how absurdly jealous the main character, "The Dog" (a border collie) was of his master's (Wallace Footrot, a farmer) main love interest, an (alleged) femme fatale known as Darlene "Cheeky" Hobson. I wasn't happy with how this was resolved in the original strip, and it made me wonder....what type of situation would force these two rivals for Wal's love to finally bury the hatchet?
And then the answer came to me from the phrase "the Shaky Isles".....
