Pride and Prejudice fic recs
These are all novel length fics. Some of the backgrounds and text colors are kind of craptastic, but sufferable for most people. I don't see well, but I managed. YMMV.
Incomplete fics all seem to be abandoned WIPs so skip those if it's going to bug you. Since the stories pretty much all end the same way it didn't bother me in most cases.
A Most Convenient Mishap, Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Rated R, Regency
This was the first P&P fic I read and I found it delightful. It's pretty standard Lizzy and Darcy have to get married right away (i.e. before they've fallen in love) because of an impropriety. But I was excessively diverted.
Happenstance, Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Rated R, Regency
Another Darcy and Lizzy must get married right away fic and then learn to love each other, despite his massive and eternal hardon for her. I cannot get enough fics liks this. They are like candy. This one is pretty damn good. Not perfect, but good.
When Duty Calls Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Rated R, Regency
When Mr. Collins proposes and Mrs. Bennet tries to make Lizzy accept she runs out of the house and hides. Darcy (who is already very taken with her) finds her and helps her hide, but smooches her and they are seen so they have to get married. LA! Delicious candy.
Life is Better with Animals/ Incomplete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Rated R, Modern Day AU
Lizzy is a vet and Darcy is a neurosurgeon. No, I'm not kidding. Now with 50% more yearning Darcy.
Eye of the Beholder, Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Rated G, Regency AU
Darcy is blinded while hunting at Netherfield and this is a little like Jane Eyre mixed liberally with P&P. (It says WIP on the site, but the story is complete.)
The Child, Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Rated PG, Regency AU
Lydia dies leaving an illegitimate child, whom Lizzy sort of adopts as her own. This story is an absolutely fluffy angsty joy. Darcy with a small child. EEK!
As Fate Would Have It Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Regency AU, Rated R
IDEK PEOPLE. This story has some major flaws, but I enjoyed it anyway. Lizzy and Darcy are alone and injured and have to spend the night in a hut together, which means... DUN DUN DUN They have to get married early on in their relationship.
Mr. Popularity, Incomplete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Modern Day AU, Rated PG?
This is so weird. Lizzy is a marine biologist. Darcy is Mexican and runs a large Mexican foods company. He builds his house next to Lizzys and she goes bonkers. There is a lot that is entertaining and original about this fic, but wow was it also weird and at times mind boggling. The not being finished is deeply unsatisfying here.
A Long Road to Happiness Complete, Elizabeth/Darcy, Regency AU, Rated PG
What We Did on Our Holidays Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Modern AU, Rated NC-17
Elizabeth and Darcy are both single parents to teenagers and meet on holiday in Spain. I love this fic so much. OMG SO MUCH. It's delightful. The kids are awesome.
And Very Impolitic Too, Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Modern AU, Rated R
Takes place in The Hague. Lizzy is a Dutch MP and Darcy is a British MP and they meet at a conference.
Times of the Season, Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Modern AU, Rated PG-13
Lizzy is a horticulturist trying to take over her family's messy nursery and Darcy is an FHA inspector trying to prevent an outbreak of disease. Takes place in Vancouver.
A Singular Proposition, Complete, Elizabeth/Darcy, Regency AU, Rated R
Jane is forced to marry Mr. Collins and Darcy takes Lizzy on as a paid companion for his sister. It's all very dramatic, but still enjoyable.
Strange Bedfellows, Incomplete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Regency AU, Rated R
Elizabeth has one older brother and that's it. He's a student at Cambridge, where their father is a professor. Darcy and Jamie Bennet are close friends until they learn that their fathers have arranged a marriage between Darcy and Elizabeth, who is only 13 when she learns about it. There is a duel, and Jamie must go to India in the army to avoid scandal. Lizzy is left all alone when her father dies a few years later and she is sent to Pemberly to live. Her first meeting with Darcy there doesn't go well and it's refreshing to read a fic where Darcy is not immediately in love with Lizzy. This one is really well done, except it's missing a last chapter or two. It's still highly readable as Lizzy and Darcy are together before it cuts off.
Action and Reaction, Complete, Darcy/Elizabeth, Modern AU, Rated NC-17
This might be my favorite modern AU. It takes place in Ottawa. Lizzy works for the government and Darcy works in publishing.
