Summary
Mary Bennet knows her role in life: to honour her parents, to be a good Christian, and to accept her lot with faith in the Lord's divine plan. If she sometimes chafes at that role, she hopes she is suitably penitent afterwards.
One thing she is clear on, after being told so often; Mary's lot is not to marry as her sisters have.
And if she wonders why, then, she has been sent to London with Kitty... well, her mother never was known for great depths of logic.

Summary
When a modern woman finds herself reincarnated as Mary Bennet, the overlooked middle sister of Pride and Prejudice, she vows to rewrite her fate. Navigating Regency-era expectations, Mary seeks to secure her future, protect her family’s name, and perhaps find love where she least expects it. But as she battles societal norms and familial tensions, can she truly change her story?

Caroline Bingley turned to Mary, her smile brittle and forced. “Thank you, Miss Mary. Though I must say, perhaps the accompaniment was not quite… up to the task. A truly skilled player might have brought out the song’s full beauty.”
Mary, far from intimidated, met Caroline’s gaze with a serene smile, her tone light but razor-sharp. “Indeed, Miss Bingley. And yet, the pianoforte is only as good as the singing it accompanies. A curious limitation, wouldn’t you agree?”
The silence that followed was palpable, the tension crackling in the air. Caroline’s carefully maintained composure faltered, her lips pressing into a thin line.

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!
