    Summary

    Harry Potter is informed in third year that he's technically Lord Slytherin by Right of Conquest since he killed the basilisk. This is very stupid, but on the other hand, if Harry can use it to protect people and solve their problems, he will. (it's still stupid, though).

    Summary

    Mary Bennet agrees to spend the London season with the newly married Darcys. She discovers that she would still infinitely prefer a book. But hiding in the library at balls and parties is not the solution, as an odd young man keeps turning up there.

    “'Miss Bennet', she says. I did not know my Conscience would have such an ordinary name.”

    “I am not your conscience, sir,” Mary said, feeling made fun of and annoyed to be shaken out of her reverie for nonsense. “And whimsicality such as this, whilst charming in a child, is not so appealing in a grown man.”

    “Wait,” he said. “Do wait. I am so used to speaking in that silly way with silly young women that I quite forgot myself. Please stay and talk a little more.”

    (from the prompt "Mary's season in London. Her moralising is a trial to her sisters but in the end she outshines them all.")

    ETA Thank you to Prinzenhasserin for helping me bounce around some ideas, and to Burglebezzlement for the offer of betaing!

    Summary

    Throughout winter, after Caroline and Louisa closed Netherfield and returned to town, they amused themselves by recounting their experiences with Meryton’s country bumpkins and ridiculing the most prominent local family, the Bennets. They never imagined that their malicious words would spread slowly and insidiously like a poison and stop them from ever ascending to the highest society, as they so desired.

    - - -
    Note: The title Serpent’s Poison was inspired by the biblical imagery of a venomous tongue, a potent weapon of malice and deceit.

    Serpent's poison, unseen, subtle, and insidious, serves as a fitting metaphor of the veiled and indirect style of communication prevalent during the Regency era.
