This is my attempt at Table C from the Drabbleday community on LiveJournal. I took the 7 day challenge which involved writing a drabble a day for the full week based on the prompts given. I chose to write for the Pride and Prejudice fandom, with the pairing of Lizzy and Darcy. Each chapter is a different drabble.

A drabble is 100 words normally, however as this was my first attempt at the drabble form, I tend to overstep the word limit.

Elizabeth Bennet x Fitzwilliam Darcy

(15/12/09 – 21/12/09)


#01 : Propose (139 words)

Written 15th December 2009

Fitzwilliam Darcy paced the length of his guest room, disturbed by his thoughts. He could not stop thinking of Miss Elizabeth Bennet. Though she was a gentleman's daughter, she was connectionless and unsuitable for marriage. For her to appear during his Easter retreat was surprising, though he should have known that they would meet again someday, but he had not yet rid himself of the feelings she stirred within him, and was unprepared to see her again. He had pondered for days about what to do – she seemed to encourage his advances with her playful flirting. Her wit and spirit held him as captive as her beauty. He could not see anyone as attractive as her entering his life, no matter how high their status. So he decided – he had to have her. He would propose that very day.
