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.

Summary
“Maybe Dom should ask Loid for tips,” Millie piped up, a mischievous sparkle in her eye. “He’s always taking you on romantic dates and vacations even now, he probably made a huge list of ideas before he proposed to you.”
“Come on Millie, I don’t want leftover ideas from Mr. Perfect!”
Yor tensed again as that dreaded nickname came up. It was always a sign the conversation would soon turn against her in the most embarrassing of ways. There was also the fact that Loid had never actually come up with such a list, unbeknownst to her coworkers. Yor was the one who had proposed, completely on a whim.
“How did he propose to you, Yor?” Millie asked. “I don’t think you ever told us.”
-----
Three years into marriage, Yor starts to daydream about the proposal she never had.
Of course, Loid won't let his beloved wife down for long.
