We have another guest review from Miss Millie, this time for a story that’s good. I Thank You, No by Devon Why someone might want to read it: If they like high-brow moderns; this is the highest of the high-brow. If they like poetry and big words/ideas, art history and literary criticism, and if…
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…
Five Sons Mr and Mrs Bennet Never Had, by biichan A completely delightful romp through five possible alternative universes. What if each of the Bennet girls had been born boys?

I must freely admit to being an enthusiast of anything that has to do with secondary or unpopular characters. The less play a character usually gets in fic, the more excited I will be when I come across a story featuring them. Even so, when I stumbled onto Silvestria’s Marriage Vows, I was a bit…
Some Small Tokens of Her Affection by sixbeforelunch Small Tokens is an adorable little story about Henry Tilney getting sick before his marriage to Catherine Morland and her reaction to that. Why you should read it: It’s Northanger Abbey fic. It’s delightful. It’s well-written Why you might not like it: You’re allergic to too much…
Crossed in Love by catie56 Imagine if, instead of pining away at the Gardiners’ until Elizabeth returns from Kent, Jane decided to make her own way to Kent and spend the rest of Elizabeth’s holiday with her? This, kittens, is where our story begins. Why you should read it: You’re a fan of well-written stories….
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…
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…
