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.")

Summary
She dry heaved, just twice. The bathroom smelled like sweat and wet wipes, just like it did in the Minneapolis Gymnastic Academy’s Girls Locker Room. Breathe. Trinity focused on the sink. She touched the porcelain. She was in the bathroom at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. She was nowhere else, she was no longer a gymnast, and her best friend was no longer alive.
Her breathing steadied. Trinity was acutely aware of the sweat running down the nape of her neck. Her breath tasted hot and acidic, and she felt as if a layer of grime covered her entire body. She stood up and grasped the sink. She remembered, briefly, a grounding exercise her victim advocate taught her when she was 18. To name everything about herself, a way to detangle her thoughts.

Summary
Adrien has mastered the art of the smile. Even while his mind is on poor behavior, when he's caught beneath a barrage of unkind thoughts to himself, he's still able to keep his smile. Attend his friends' parties, maintain small talk, get through the day — and hopefully his friends won't realize how messed up he really is.
Everyone is out-pacing him. While he's barely getting out of bed in the morning, his friends are making waves, changing lives, getting engaged.
He can't even get his girlfriend to text him back.
So, sure. Maybe he's not in the best head space right now — but 'suicidal'? Ladybug's certainly just reading too deeply into things. But if her concern for Chat Noir's mental state is enough to get her reaching out, well, he won't turn down the opportunity to chat with a friend. Besides, Ladybug seems to be having a rough go of it, too. Maybe they can help each other out.
(a Ladynoir hurt/comfort texting fic, with established Adrienette)
