In "Pug," Anne is led by the titular dog to a mystical door, which can transport her to other places instantaneously. Along the way, she meets other characters who are similarly overlooked, or whose lives lack drama of any kind. Anne's backstory is also explained in more detail, and though it's a radically different genre than the original, nothing in the short story actually contradicts canon, and may actually unify Austen's [[{{Emma}} first]] and second works in an ExpandedUniverse!

!!This work contains examples of:
* BlueBlood: Anne is the daughter and heiress of ''[[GrandeDame Lady Catherine]]'', terror of the parrish.
* BigScrewedUpFamily: Following the spirit of Austen's subverting social stereotypes, the opening narration reveals the "d'Arcys" and and de Bourghs have been "murdering and marrying each other since forever."
* DeathByChildbirth: Dr. Galt tells Anne in no uncertain terms that she should never get married, because her first child will kill her. This is also a rather Victorian way of saying she CantHaveSexEver.
* EnemyOfMyEnemy: Anne uses the enmity between Jenkinson and Cook to her advantage.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet make an appearance.
* HiddenDepths: Telling ''anything'' about Anne would have given her more depth than she had, but the story paints her as a remarkably complex woman who happens to lead an utterly uneventful life.
* IllGirl: Anne
* MyBelovedSmother: It's no surprise, but Catherine de Bourgh is no less overbearing, opinionated and foolish with her daughter than with anyone else.
* NoWomansLand: It's bad enough for a healthy and beautiful a woman in the Regency Era; it reaches epic levels of suck for a woman with a chronic heart condition.
* OldMaid: It's where Anne is headed; her mother is in total denial, naturally.
* StaticCharacter: The protagonists of this story are flatter than the scenery in their original novels. The girls theorize that that's the reason they were chosen by the door.
* TakeThat: Anne thinks only a man in love could think Lizzy plays the pianoforte well.
* UnluckyChildhoodFriend: To Darcy.
