Summary
The marriage of convenience fic no one asked for.
The morning after the Netherfield Ball, while Mr Collins is proposing to Elizabeth, Mr Bennet collapses. With her father unconscious and apparently near death, her mother pressuring her to marry Mr Collins, and the gentleman himself ignoring her protests, suddenly saying 'no' is not so easy. Faced with poverty and homelessness if she continues refusing, the gossip soon reaches Netherfield that she will have to marry Mr Collins. Just as Mr Darcy is about to mount his horse and follow Mr Bingley to London, never to return, he overhears the servants talking. The thought of Elizabeth married to a fool like Mr Collins is unbearable to him, and he resolves to make her a better offer. But, when she refuses him, he finds that he's willing to do anything for love - even marry her without the hope of being with her.

An Ever-Fixed Mark by AMarguerite

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.)

Summary
“No mother deserves to watch her children die,” she had overheard a guard mentioning once, though she had not seen his face nor the coat of arms he bore in his chest. Am I still a mother if I have no children left to me? Catelyn wondered. Is an apple tree still a tree after it's been carved out? She found it hard to swallow. Did the Lord of Leeches crave the woman or the statue?
Catelyn is spared in the Red Wedding on the orders of the same lord that killed her son. Brought to the Dreadfort alongside his forces, she finds her heart has grown hollow amidst tragedy. Even so, Roose Bolton is a strange man with stranger vices, and teaches her there is still a strange sort of thrill to feeling fear.
