LOOOOOOVE THIS!! I am absolutely dead over Darcy researching One Direction for Lizzie because he SO WOULD! Your drunk dialogue is so hilarious and realistic and in character. I'm SO glad you posted this. It absolutely made my night! MORE PLEASE!!!

Thank you, dear! That's so sweet of you to say! I'll admit that credit for Darcy sounding drunk enough goes to saucydiva, a fact that will never not be funny to me.

If I was the enterprising sort, I'd write an entire series of fics where all of the LBD characters drunk Domino dial each other.

This is entirely adorable. I've so glad you decided to post this.

My favorite parts:
*HBIC Charlotte informing Lizzie that she's basically moved in with Darcy
*Fitz's line about "You can have this delicious non-alcoholic water" because YES, and Fitz in general, and also I love Fitz&Darcy best friend times.
*Darcy as a secret boy band listener (such a great shout-out to the canon!)
*Domino is magic because sure
*Fitz and Lizzie talking, because YES

You're fabulous and this is fantastic and I don't know why you haven't been writing this entire time

I wouldn't have posted it if it wasn't for you, so damn you for causing me this stress. And okay, thank you, thank you, thank you for your help and making me do it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. (I'm not fishing for compliments. This is just legit stressful.)

I will never understand Domino, and when (I SAID, "WHEN") you watch Emma Approved, you, too, will be even more confused about what the hell Domino does.

Also, I want a Fitz spinoff series where he and every LBD character hang out.

Hello, just stalking your comments.

Bernie said in his FAQ that the EA characters were using a communications software "suspiciously similar to Domino". Like ok sure, whatever you want to tell yourself.

[yumytaffy]

Wait, so it isn't Domino? WTF was that one post-Sanditon "interview" with Sidney where he said Emma Approved was going to work with Pemberley Digital on something? I don't care enough to re-read it to see if it mentions Domino at all, though.

And if the EA software is that similar to Domino, Pemberley should consider suing for copyright infringement.

I gave you plenty of title ideas! Anyway, I'm glad you posted this!

[yumytaffy]

I know, but I couldn't find a fancy enough word for "drunk." I liked your ideas, though! And thanks, lovely!

Aww, this is really cute! I love that Lizzie hasn't realized or won't admit to herself that she's basically living with Darcy. And the One Direction thing was just great. This is adorable and I hope we see more from you sometime. :)

This is so great. Why did I wait so long to read it?

My favourite line was Fitz's "non-alcoholic water" line. I also loved that Darcy is a happy drunk and I can imagine Lizzie talking advantage of this now that she knows.
