Fics like Of Pride and Promise

The Pride & Prejudice AU you didn't know you needed // Arranged marriage to love // Slow burn "Why?" Verso asked, his pale eyes fixed on Gustave's face with unsettling intensity. "Why sacrifice yourself for her?" The question caught Gustave off guard. He opened his mouth, closed it again, searching for the right words. "Because she is my sister," he said simply. "And I would do anything for her." In Belle Époque France, an old promise binds two families. When the promised bride refuses, her brother steps forward instead, binding himself to a man shaped by pride and expectation. Gustave Virlogeux is practical, dependable, and entirely unremarkable — or so he has always believed. Verso Dessendre is composed, untouchable, and dangerously perceptive. Their engagement is duty. Their courtship is stolen glances, careful distance, and the maddening warmth of a hand that lingers a moment too long. But what begins as obligation unfolds into a slow reckoning with everything they cannot say; until what was never supposed to be real becomes the only thing that is.
