Anyone else wish more fics kept Colonel Fitzwilliam in the Army?

He's a minor character, I know, but I always roll my eyes a little when fic or published variations have Col F giving up the army in favour of becoming a landowner. He's a soldier! Let him fight!

Looking for a fic where Darcy struggles to consummate the marriage?

Darcy cannot preform and tells Elizabeth she can divorce him if she wishes. I remember reading it on AO3, not a one shot but no longer than 6 chapters.

Mr. Darcy ignores many compromises?

I had a suggestion of a published book to check later and as usual can't find it.

Mr. Darcy is a rake according to his friends and relatives. He refuses to marry every lady who compromises him. The first attempt probably caused by Wickham? Then there is a genuine accident with E. involved and Mr. Darcy marries her.

I don't remember other details. Anything similar?

Need help finding a fanfic

So I remember the plot of the story, just can’t remember the name of the fanfic.

William Darcy had a relationship with Elizabeth, but gave it up to pursue a corporate career. He’s made it to the top of the ladder, but he regrets the one that got away. While crossing the street, he gets hit by a car and wakes up to find himself in a different life, one where’s married to Elizabeth with a couple of kids. He doesn’t like this life at first but comes to really love it. Eventually though he wakes up in a hospital and finds out the whole other life was a coma induced dream. Of course, HEA ensues when he tracks down the real Elizabeth and gets her to be with him.

Anyone know this one? And its name?

Lf Darcy/Elizabeth fic

I've been looking on and off for a while for this fic. It was def on a free site, most likely ao3 or ffn but possibly jaff. It was about Darcy offering to have lizzy be his kept woman, don't remember how he rationalized the choice but she said yes and eventually after they sort out their feelings they end up married but it was pretty angsty. It was a completed fic. for some reason I haven't been able to find it again. Appreciate any help thanks!

You need to stop what you are reading and pick up The Bennets Take on The Ton

This is one of the best things I have ever read, full transparency I'm 74% finished with it. It is absolutely ridiculous in plot, but it is fantastic. It's not serious at all or trying to be an extension of Pride and Prejudice. But it is perfection. Especially if you are overwhelmed and just had enough with reality. I'm reading it on kindle unlimited.

Need Recommendations

Hi guys! I’ve just decided to try pride and prejudice fan fiction cause I’m in love with Mr. Darcy and need more! Im a sucker for the classic angst and longing glances… I would love a little element of danger like a stalker element or Elizabeth falling into danger and Mr. Darcy saving her! Open to anything but really prefer more true to the original characters and time period. I appreciate your help!

Anyone else feel slightly annoyed at books that change too much of the original?

When authors write FF but change so much of the backstory and characters, at some point it feels like a totally unrelated story they just swiped some character names from Austen to make their book easier to market.

Just finished reading one where Mrs Bennet was a courtesan, there was no entail, there were no younger sisters, Elizabeth had never been to Longbourne, Bingley was a cousin, Lady Anne was alive but an adulterer, etc.

At some point it just feels like a totally different world and story.

Or maybe I just have a little bit of Lady C in my veins, expecting all the world to arrange itself to my liking. 😛

Definitive list of P&P variation must reads?

Hey all, as I continue to make my way through the never-ending catalog of amazing P&P variations, I begin to wonder if I'm missing out on some classics. I tend to just jump around picking out recs from forum posts and suggestions on KU, but now I'm wondering if there is some sort of 'holy grail' list of the best in the genre?

Second question, how do you find your next read? TIA

Looking for a story I read on AHA

P&P. It was regency and not canon on timeline. I can't remember the marriage circumstances because the info is scattered retrospectively, I think. It's all at Rosings because almost immediately after the wedding they have to go to there because D was ignoring Lady C and some problem at the estate became urgent. Lady C gives them rooms in opposite wings of the house. Every chapter starts something like 'the girl woke up', meaning Lizzy in the mornings at Rosings. The content is mostly Lizzy trying to work out her husband and how to wife when they're not even in their own home. There might be some sections from D's POV.

I think I read it 5ish years ago and I think it was being posted then, but not absolutely sure. Can't find it in AHA search or JAFF index.

P&P FF: Nephilim Darcy and guardian Lizzie

it was years ago that someone posted the beginning of a WIP story with Darcy as a nephilim (offspring of a demon and a human) and Lizzie as his unwilling guardian angel.

But it was actually Darce who had the wings ;)

They seemed to have a history.

Will was hunting someone and Lizzie was basically trying to keep him alive.

I believe the author's account name started with a Z, but I'm not entirely sure. It's been years. The story was pulled, and from what I know didn't resurface anywhere else.

Anyone know the story or what has become of it?

Looking for P&P recommendations

Can anyone recommend a good non-steamy, non-"clean and sweet", non-religious variation?

Doesn't have to be about Darcy and Lizzy. No sex scenes.

Thanks!

Lydia has triplets!

I'm looking for an old fic i read maybe 8 years ago. It's D&E centric where they throw a ball or garden party (maybe for a christening) and Lydia crashes the party with triplets. Elizabeth, Darcy, Jane, and Bingley decide to give some money, maybe 100 pounds a year, to Lydia for the kids sakes.

If anyone remembers something like that please let me know!

Looking for a fic where Mrs Bennet advises Miss Bingley

Basically what the title says. There was a part in the fic where Mrs Bennet advises Miss Bingley on the duties of being a estate owner's wife and the work that goes into it. This makes Caroline think she is not suited to life living in the country. I think Mrs Hurst was there too.

Jane inherits Netherfield?

I recently read this variation and of course, I don't remember the title. Mr Bennet is secretly rich and has a slew of properties including Netherfield, which he bequeaths to Jane. After he dies, she takes charge of things and insists that her mother and sisters learn proper behaviour. She and Elizabeth are also angry at their father for his deceit. I think there's a confrontation with Collins, too? TIA!

After a slew of Terrible Mrs Bennet fics...

... I really want one where she, as a tradesman's daughter, learns about the power of compound interest early. I don't think I've seen that variant before and it would be fun to explore a Mrs Bennet who is good with numbers.

Revenge Variations

I‘m looking for variations where Lydia (or Georgiana or Lizzy) take revenge on Wickham after the canon story of P&P. Might be social or more violent, but I want him to get his comeuppance after what he did! Happy ending for the other characters tho please. Especially Lydia deserves better than to be shackled to such a man forever! Thank you 💜

Searching recommendations post-canon P&P fics

Hi! I wanted to ask for recommendations of post-canon P&P fics or novels that explore the Darcys and/or Bingleys married dynamics, household management, social commitments, etc.

I would very much like them to be true to what was happening in the Regency era and a style similar to that of Jane Austen herself.

Thank you very much in advance ❤️

R-Rated sequels and Variations

I've been reading so many sequels and variations of our favorite couples, and even some that center the younger Bennet sisters finding romance, but none of them really showcase sex. I'm talking wedding nights, sneaking off for a nooner, that sort of thing.

Any Novel-length variations that you guys can reccomend? I'd rather they not be found on FF.net or AO3 since they tend to be short, not fleshed out, or plain on badly written.

Looking forward to your reccs!
