Once Upon a Time
Swan Lake (Angst)
The swan queen's heart stops, her horrified cry muffled by Wickham's hand over her mouth, when she sees the prince dancing with a golden-haired maiden in black – a maiden who looks exactly like Jane – and she realizes her dreams of newfound love and possible freedom are doomed.
Allerleirauh (AU)
"Carrots, you are in for it!" Dawson declares when Mr. Bingley appears in the kitchen desiring to see the person who had cooked the soup; blushing as red as her hair, Jane Bennet rubs her ringless finger before slowly stepping forward.
Diamonds and Toads (Crack)
Charles awkwardly clutches his hat in his hands when a beautiful noblewoman on a white horse calls out to him; the poor lad grows even more embarrassed when he answers and diamonds, sapphires, and rubies drop from his mouth, causing amazement to fill the lady's countenance.
The Little Mermaid (Future Fic)
"My little mermaid"; "I'm sorry?"; "Well, you did practically save my life, yes, you did"; "Oh, Bing"; "Plus, your hair makes me think of Ariel"; "So does that make you my Prince Eric?"; "But of course!"; *Laugh*
The Nutcracker (First Time)
This magical Christmas Eve – vengeful mice, waltzing snowflakes and flowers, a sparkling sugar plum fairy – ends when the Land of Sweets fades away; regret shines in the nutcracker prince's eyes just before he, too, disappears, leaving young Jane alone, her heart breaking for the first time.
Cinderella (Fluff)
Never has Miss Bennet seen a magistrate like him before – surprisingly young, ginger-haired, smile kind (the opposite of Mr. Tulkinghorn); startled and flustered, forgetting her bonnet on the ground, Jane flees down the lane.
The Princess and the Pea (Humor)
Aunt Harriet chuckles to herself when Miss Jane Bennet's confession that she slept poorly the previous night receives reactions of astonishment (her daughter Mrs. Bingley's double take) and joy (her nephew leaping up from his seat); and to think her neighbors has considered her notions of courtship, marriage, and peas as nonsense for years!
Rumpelstiltskin (Hurt/Comfort)
The silence stretches on forever after Jane finishes her story; fighting back tears, she braces for the shock, confusion, outrage, abandonment; she does not anticipate the moment her husband hugs her, gentle and protective, nor his determined promise: "Together we will find a way…I will not lose our son or you!"
Cupid and Psyche (Smut)
Lost in Jane's sweet kiss, Charles jerks away in shock when she touches his wings; but she tightens her arms around his invisible body, whispers for him not to stop, and the God of Love recaptures her mouth in a fervent kiss.
Tattercoats (UST (Unresolved Sexual Tension))
The pipe's sweet music circles the couple as they gaze at each other – the girl's sadness lifts from her shoulders, while the young man no longer feels lonely; unconsciously the distance between them lessens…their hands almost touch…; a goose honks loudly, breaking the spell, and they draw apart.
THE END
