Depths of Attachment by ali972 Kittens, gather round. Uncle Oofy has a delight for you! It was a terrible oversight by Miss Austen that she neglected to give us the full and complete details of Elizabeth and Darcy’s engagement, wedding, and post-wedding delights. Happily, ali972 has filled this most lamentable void admirably. Depths takes us…
Has it really been five months since our last review? How shameful! In recompense, I bring a review that was requested by one of our Dear Readers many moons ago. I hope, Dear Reader, that you are still with us; a thousand apologies for being so tardy. Pride, Prejudice and Perjury by Jamie Or, as…
Second Chances by Lynn O Continuing with our alternate realities theme this month, we have another dream-inspired story. As 1950s Disney Cinderella sings to her little avian friends: “No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dream that you wish will come true.” While Fitzwilliam Darcy would seem to make…
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…
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…
Indiscretions in the Life of an Heiress by Alison Indiscretions is a prequel to Pride and Prejudice that, like most prequels, tells us about something we already know all about. In this case, it’s George Wickham’s near-elopement with Georgiana Darcy, the incontrovertible proof of his villainy that (as we all know) is related in Darcy’s…
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…
Firstly, a note of thanks to my inimitable colleague Miss Kenton, for graciously taking my place in the roster last week. Madam, I am in your debt. And now, to the review! Disenchanted by Kara As a fantasy/sci fi fan in general, I am always eager to partake of Austen fanfiction that takes us to…
London Outskirts by Kent In London Outskirts, Elizabeth Bennet is stranded in — well, the outskirts of London. By sheer coincidence, Darcy happens across her and, naturally, returns her to the Gardiners’ house. On the way, they air their various grievances, and within very short order their relationship is able to progress without any misunderstandings…
