First impressions: it was a rec from a trusted source, so fairly promising from the get go. It was cited as a well written AU with alternative pairings. Conclusion: extremely readable, and very charming. Finished with ease. Why you may wish to read it: the prose is excellent, the characters IC, the main divergence from…
First impressions: an epistolary AU retelling of Sense and Sensibility, with the alternative pairing Brandon/Elinor. AN and header both literate and to the point. Very promising! Conclusion: not easy going, but finished it. Why you may want to read this: it is charmingly written; you like epistolary stories; you think Brandon & Elinor are the…
Some of my favorite things in the world and, not coincidentally, in fiction, are sneakiness and banter. It’s no surprise, then, that I was delighted with More Coffee, Mr. Darcy. It’s a tiny little story that can be read in about as much time as it takes an average person to drink a cuppa. (Unless,…
Gentle Readers, have you ever wished that someone would write a modern Pride and Prejudice tale in which Mr Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam are very masculine and commanding and convince Elizabeth Bennet to engage in a threesome with the approval of her entire family? No? Neither have Miss Kenton or Oofy Prosser. And yet, here they…
The Last Man in the World aka Mr Fiztwilliam Darcy: The Last Man in the World by Abigail Reynolds The Last Man in the World (TLMITW) is, like most of Abigail Reynolds other stories, a what if story, taking an element of P&P and changing it, thus changing the story that follows to something else…

Why you should read it: You’re…
How to Mend a Broken Heart by lsparsons Blurb: A family tragedy calls Elizabeth Bennet home after Darcy’s proposal at Hunsford but before Darcy can deliver his letter. It is not until three years later that they meet again and after Darcy has just announced his engagement to another woman. Sounds innocuous enough, doesn’t it?…
Reflections, by Teg This week, I’m taking on one of the “classics.” In this “heart-breaking†modern adaptation of P&P, Elizabeth and Darcy are reunited at Pemberley, where they do everything but confess their love for each other. The awful Lydia and Wickham create scandal and our beloved couple separate without revealing their feelings. Awkwardness prevails…
A Most Determined Flirt by lemposoi Written as part of kink_bingo, for the “uniforms/military fetish” kink, A Most Determined Flirt is hot like burning. As clever readers may have already guessed, this is a Lydia/Wickham story. Lydia is, indeed, most determined, and gets just what she asks (practically begs) for. This is a hot, kinky…
