Fic: Far Above Rubies
Jul. 28th, 2018 10:26 pmI did not do Not Prime Time, but I did write two treats, and had fun doing so. The first one was a P&P fic, a what-if Mary had married Mr. Collins instead of Charlotte; once fics were posted I found that ![[archiveofourown.org profile]](https://p.dreamwidth.org/b164c54b26e4/-/archiveofourown.org/favicon.ico)
ChronicBookworm had written a fic that was not only from the same prompt, but used a different part of the same Bible passage for the title. It's a great fic, you should totally go read it.
Title: Far Above Rubies
Author: Beatrice_Otter
Fandom: Pride & Prejudice
Written for: jeannamarin in Not Prime Time 2018
AN: I generally use the date Austen started writing Pride and Prejudice (1797), rather than the date she published it (1813), and this fic reflects that.
AN 2: Title is from Proverbs 31:10-31. "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies…. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates."
Summary: All in all, it was a highly eligible match and Mary was quite pleased with herself for securing it. She might wish Mr. Collins paid more attention to his scriptures and the writings of the great theologians than to the edicts of Lady Catherine, but Mary's own scholarship in that area was more than sufficient to remedy the lack.
