a/n: So I was finished with these drabbles, but I got a request from a reader and I couldn't resist. Enjoy!

One hundred and one: tension

Charlotte was right when she said there was tension at Pemberley Digital. She felt uncomfortable when she was in the same room as Darcy, but not in a bad way. She isn't sure how she feels about him. There was tension between the Darcy she created in her videos ad the Darcy she sees as Pemberley Digital. There's also a lot of sexual tension. Even when she hated him, all those months ago, she never denied that she found him attractive.

She wished he never confessed his love for her because she could see herself hanging out with him, maybe casually dating him, maybe, eventually, seriously dating him. But, she knows she can't, not after that. If he didn't love her things could be different. She would never lead him on when she's so uncertain of her feelings and so certain of what his are, or used to be. So, she focuses on her thesis and tries to ignore that warm feeling deep in her stomach when they're together.

One hundred and two: honesty

They decide to be completely honest with each other for the sake of avoiding any miscommunication or misunderstandings.

"Please take off that tie."

"Why?"

"Because there is no way I'm going to make it through diner with my parents when all I want to do is drag you into the bathroom and rip your tie off."

"Why won't you talk to Caroline?"

"She was disrespectful to you. She shouldn't get away with her behavior."

"I know and you know that I don't like her, but I don't want to be the reason for the end of a friendship."

"You're not. Caroline deserves the silent treatment from me right now."

"Please promise me that you'll talk to her at Bing and Jane's engagement party."

"For you Lizzie Bennet, anything."

"William, please try not to get offended, but I think Edith is a stupid name. We are not naming our daughter Edith."

"But it's such a timeless, regal name."

"It is not a timeless name. It is a name for an old lady."

One hundred and three: undercurrent

Looking back, she's not entirely sure how she didn't notice it. There was always an undercurrent of manipulation in every interaction with him. But, she needed him and maybe that's why she didn't notice. She needed him and maybe he needed her too.

He loved her and he noticed her. He made the transition to college easier and he was a friend when no one else was. He took away the pain and the sadness from her life – even if he caused more of it in the long run. He nearly destroyed her in the end, but she loved him all the same.

One hundred and four: clarity

There has always been something about a long bike ride that gives him a sense of clarity. Whenever he is stressed or confused or upset, he'll hop on his bike and ride until his legs nearly give out. When he's done, he sees his problems in a new light.

It almost always works, except when it comes to Lizzie Bennet. He takes the longest ride he's ever taken and it still doesn't help. He's seen the videos. He knows that he completely misread every aspect of the situation. He still can't figure out how he possibly could have fucked up so badly.

One hundred and five: anguish

When Annie's heart is broken for the first time, she's certain she's never felt so much anguish. Her friends trash her ex and help her burn some picture of the two of them at junior prom. Her older brothers threaten to beat up her ex-boyfriend for her. Her Aunt Lydia offers to get her drunk on wine (hey, she's seventeen, which is almost eighteen, which means she would be legal in just about any other country, she justifies). Her Aunt Gigi takes her out to dinner but she starts to cry over the appetizers. Her mother sits with her while she cries, rubbing her back and telling her that everything will be okay.

Nothing helps, until finally her father makes her clean herself up and takes her out for ice cream. They sit, parked in his car, and he tells her about his experiences with heartbreak over the years. He tells her that he knows how she feels. He, like her, loves with his whole heart and he knows how it feels to be crushed over a relationship. But he tells her that it will get better. And it does.

One hundred and six: promise

"Hey Lyd, if I tell you something, will you promise to keep it a secret?"

"Of course nerd, what is it?"

"I think I'm pregnant," she says tucking her feet beneath her on the couch. She's staring out at the San Francisco skyline with an expression that Lydia can't read.

"Oh," she moves closer to her sister on the couch, "are you happy about it?"

"If it's real then I am. Lydia, I'm scared to take a test."

"Have you ever taken one?"

"Loads, but they've all been negative though. I don't want to get another negative."

"Lizzie. I didn't know that you were struggling. I don't even know you were trying."

"We are, we have been. We're been having a hard time."

"Oh okay. Do you want me to sit with you when you take the test?"

'That would be really nice Lydia."

One hundred and seven: secret

It's wonderful and exhilarating, having a secret so large. Being engaged is a happy even, but being secretly engaged is hot. It's not like it changes much. They live together after all and they both knew it would end in marriage. The promise of the future makes everything so real and it's a little bit scary, but mostly exciting, and she's not sure if she can bare all the joy she feels.

There will be time for wedding plans, and her mother, and Gigi, and picking out bridesmaids dresses with Jane, but for now, it's just the two of them. It's their secret.

One hundred and eight: realization

She's not sure when she comes to the realization that she wants to marry him. One day, while on the phone with an investor, she catches herself doodling Elizabeth Darcy on her legal pad. Next, she finds herself studying him in his sleep trying to figure out which of his features their children will inherit. It doesn't scare her at all, not in the way she thought it would.

It happened gradually, much like falling in love with William. She wants to be Elizabeth Darcy (or Elizabeth Bennet-Darcy, depending on if it's vital for business to maintain her brand with her last name) and she wants to have his children. She wants to spend the rest of her life with William Darcy.
