    Alternate title: Five Times Everyone Thought Anne and Darcy Were Dating (And One Time Everyone Knew They Weren't)

    After taking her coach's advice and breaking things off with her pairs partner, Frederick Wentworth, so that he can pursue a career in the NHL and she can compete in women's singles figure skating at the Senior level, Anne Elliot faces a unique maelstroms of stressors. There's school, there's her mother's failing health, there's a family she must to do her best to hold together, and of course, there's all the life-absorbing struggles of trying to compete at the next Olympics.

    Olympic gold-medalist men's figure skater Fitzwilliam Darcy faces the exact same stressors.

    The friendship born of their specific circumstances is a real help to both of them-- and a source of constant misunderstandings to everyone around them.

    Or, otherwise: What happened if you put Mr. Darcy in the middle of "Persuasion?"

    Summary

    If you wanted, I could marry you instead.

    It's 2004, and Edward Teach just offered to marry his best friend to save Stede from the marriage his parents were planning to some girl he barely knew. They've run away, tied the knot at city hall, and now they find themselves in some tiny town by the sea that no one's ever heard of.

    Two decades later, Ed will be one of the most famous people in the world, and they won't have spoken in years, but for now they're just kids: with no money, no place to live, and no idea what they're doing.

    Also Ed's painfully in love with his best friend, but they don't talk about that.
