Ah, you all make me feel so great. I have a huge smile reading your comments. I'm so glad you're still interested and I hope the last couple of chapters will be fun to read. While it took a long time, I had fun writing most of the chapters... a couple of spots were a bit frustrating!
Hi Tracey,
Thats great news really excited about reading the final part of your excellent story . . . you've even given me time to re-read it before the final Installment comes!!!
Tracey,
We are all so happy that you have finished this great story. Although we wanted more and quickley, we knew you would want to write the perfect ending to such a good story. I am sure we wont be disapointed. Can't wait to read it. Thanks again for taking the time to give us such great reading material.
OMG!!! Am I seeing this correctly?! Please tell me that I am. I sooo wanted to throw my arms up and scream here at work...
Cant wait to finish reading my favorite modern version of the bestest love story of all time!
WooHoo!!!
Tracy, Tracy, Tracy, I am so excited, I got up because I couldn't sleep and now after reading this wonderful news I know it will be quite impossible to get any rest. You know I love this story so much I printed a copy of it and took it to Hawaii with me last summer to read on the long flight. OMG I am so excited, oh I already said that. Thank you Tracy for not giving up, and my God bless you and your family.
Oh, my! Thank you to you all! Julia! You took it Hawaii! My story has travelled there but I haven't! 
Oh, well, maybe someday.
Just an update. I have, unfortunately, not heard a word from my betas, but they are busy women, one not involved in the fandom at all, so she has no clue about how we all get stoked about new chapters. I'll start bugging them this week, but until then, I don't want to push, after all, they do their great work as a favour to me!
Thanks again ladies... you all make me feel like a million bucks!
Tracey, That is just such GREAT news!!! I hope that your betas manage to do their bit very soon as I'm really impatient to find out how your lovely story will end!!
Yeahh!!!!
YAY!
OMG I was SO happy when I read Tracey finished them!! And wow! They're not just 2 or 3 pages each!! I'm gonna have so much fun readinf them!! Thanks a lot for writing the story, Tracey. Among all the PnP fan fiction I've read (which is a LOT) this story is my absoloute fav! Gosh, can't wait... Hope your betas get to reading it soon...
Tracey,

Ima
Part 1 of chapter 23 has just been posted, my dears. Enjoy!
OMG OMG OMG...I should have known that that will be his third wish...................oh Tracey I am so happy ..I couldn't believe that we are now coming to a complete circle...right back at Charlie's place...but Darcy is such a different man ..THAT Nite and TONITE. Oh ...I am so happy that he proposed..thanks you thank you...
I've been waiting for another chapter and it was worth the wait...this is an absorbing, romantic story of D & E and I love it. Especially in this chapter where he asks for the honour to be her husband is sooooooo brilliant and shows how much he respects and loves her. Once this is completed, I think I will re-read it from beginning to end. Hope you have it in you Tracey to produce another great story soon.
Dear Tracy,
I started preparing myself for today by re-reading for the 20th time your beautiful story last Thursday and Friday. I have to tell you Action and Reaction was the first PP modern story I read and I fell in love with it. I have prayed for you and for your family.
This chapter is wonderful to be able to see thru your writing how these two have grown and matured in their relationship. They have come a long way. The whole proposal was magical, so, so, so sweet. Very good use of the third wish!!!!
That was sooo sweet! Astounding use of the third wish, I don't think I saw that coming.
So, now they are in the same place they first kissed (even if it was "faked" -I can't believe that was so long ago!-), but in a real relationship. It was hard work to get where they are now, but worth every single minute.
Can't wait to read part II! 
Thank you very much, Tracey.
Just popping in to say a great big thanks for all the lovely comments! I will get back to you all in more detail but I'm off to bed right now!
Lucy... the cufflinks were mentioned throughout several chapters of the story. I'd have to go back and look too! I do know he partially explains them in the chapter after the poker match and they first appear the night he attends the gala for the Queen... I'm awful, I don't know my chapters by heart! It's been a long time for me too!
Tracey
Darcy is so romantic and such a mushy fellow! it is indeed quite a transformation from the old days
I can't wait to see what Tracey, you have for us in the next part of the finale!
...and thank you Renée for hosting it in this WONDERFUL site
Thank you, Lella for your lovely compliment. 
And just to let you know, Renee will be posting the second half by the end of the week! I'm just tweaking a few things for a very... detailed... scene.
Tracey
I'm just tweaking a few things for a very... detailed... scene
It so happens that I'm reading part 2 as I type this message... with red ears... Gosh, Tracey, I admire you in many ways, as you are well aware, but there are very few FF writers I know who have the ability of writing scenes you are referring too with so much passion, sweetness and humour at the same time... 
All one needs is love...
Well, my dears, has your interest been piqued? Excellent! Just two more nights and you can read for yourself... *evil grin*
We shall indeed have a VERY VERY good weekend...
Thanks Tracey... and oops..please accept my apology for not thanking YOU my dearest Mrs Darcy for for fabulous site....
Ima
thanking YOU my dearest Mrs Darcy for for fabulous site....
You're very welcome, my dear Ima. I'm just happy that you're having so much fun here. People like you keep me going.
Chapter 23, part 2 is up, my dears. You are SO going to enjoy it! 
Don't forget to express your love for Tracey's fabulous story!
OK, I havent read it yet because I am at work but I am sooooooo excited that you posted it today. Since today's my birthday and in honor of it, and of Tracey, and since you posted it today Renee, I think I will contribute money to your awesome site right now!!!
Oh, and of course, I will read Part 2 tonight...
You're so sweet, Kayakchick!
Happy Birthday, my dear.
From Mr. darcy too... 
WOW You did it again, Tracey. That was wonderful!! But is not just only the HMS, but all the love and care they feel for each other too. And sooo funny! Gee, I wouldn't mind breaking a chair o two (heck, the whole dining set) if I was going to get some of THAT...
Thank you, thank you again. Can't wait!! (figuratively speaking, you know we all really CAN wait)
How did you know...thank you!
Somewhere, in the back of my mind I knew! I'm glad I picked the right one, and I hope you had a lovely birthday, my dear.
Dear Tracey, you already know how much I love your story, and how thrilled I was you told us you finished it. And you did in a way suitable to a very talented author who doesn't only have a lot of respect for the characters she created, but for her readers as well. Someone who takes what she does seriously. Rather than rush into things to just get it over and done, you've taken your time and you achieved a climax (litterally and figurally ) in the best tradition of the romance genre mixed with lots of humour, delightful dialogue and stuff that most certainly stirs the imagination. And... it isn't over yet! Oh, joy! We still have one fabulous chapter to go! What a treat, Tracey. Thank you, thank you!
Obviously I love your Darcy , but I think your Lizzy is one of the most appealing to me in the fandom. Her temperament, intelligence, sweetness too, and sensuality... a thinker and a person of flesh and blood. What a partner for a man, certainly, but someone each woman would wish to be her best friend too.
Can't stop chuckling when reading this:
"Frantic?" Darcy wasn’t going to let another bout of bashfulness stop him from teasing her. "You were more like a rogue wave overtaking forty feet of solid rock!"
"Forty feet of solid rock? My, don’t we think a lot of our equipment."
I'm proud to have you here, Tracey, and very happy to call you my friend.
Super duper HOT! Never mind the chair Lizzy, you had the best rub (perhaps more than rub in your life and you are worried about the carpet and the chair?? I love the playful bantering betw the lovebirds. It must have been quite a challenge to put so much going-ons in just one chapter, Tracey. Look forward to your next and last chapter *grin and *sob sob!
Thank you so much Tracey that was one heck of a chapter, both parts. William is so romantic with his proposal, "only in the movies", or should I say "only in FF". And the HMS in the chair was so hot! Great job
Tracey -
Thanks so much for finishing your story! I learned about Action and Reaction from some friends on Darcylicious, and it was one of the first fanfics I ever read. You have a great talent for HMS - both the physical and emotional aspects, as pointed out earlier. Your sauna scene is legendary, and this last one topped it in my opinion. I love these characters, and the one downside about you finishing this story is how much I'm going to miss them. Your writing was so evocative that on a trip to Kingston, Ontario last fall I almost made a side trip to Ottawa to check out some of the sites you described. If you have the time and opportunity, please indulge us with more of your writing in the future.
Shazza
You lovely, lovely ladies! You make a girl feel so loved with all your delightful comments! My last chapter will probably be posted some time next week. I'm a bit nervous and still want to play with it a bit before I put "The End" stamp there.
Ima -- Oh, yes, I thought I'd hinted that that would be his third wish in these comments somewhere, however, it's been so long people probably would forget! And yes, they are full circle but so much has changed for both of them! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and you are very welcome!
Diane -- You know, I don't think it was worth the wait... you all had to wait so long! But I'm so happy you think so! One thing I did want to do was make this story truly E&D romance-centered. I truly love the scene in the original P&P when they are conversing... they are so engaging to read, there's an exciting dynamic even if they weren't meant to be in love, so I wanted to have them together in scenes as much as possible in my story, even if they weren't always happy with each other. And it was very important to me to word his proposal as such. He wants to be worthy of her, he knows she is special, and the feeling is mutual. As for another great story... oh, I think this might be my one and only large scale fanfic. I am not reliable enough to write more unless it's just short snippets, I'm afraid!
fde -- You make me blush! What wonderful compliments you give and thank you so very much for your prayers. I completely believe in them so I am touched to hear it. I'm glad you feel their growth has been obvious and believable. I have tried to pace it that way in the story, and sometimes, it seems, they just did it themselves, naturally. Thank you again.
KayakChick -- Happy to see you haven't forgotten the story! Yes, Darcy is the type of man who likes to be grab the brass ring, so to speak, at the right moment! I'm so pleased you've enjoyed the chapter and that I got to post something steamy for your birthday.
Kari -- Ah, but I thought the third wish would be obvious! Of course, I knew what it would be so I guess it's obvious to me. They are "right back" where they started from but yes, so much has changed! Glad you've enjoyed it.
As for the HMS chapter...now why didn't I think of a whole dining set! One measly chair isn't much... you give me ideas! Seriously, while I do try to write as exciting a scene as possible, I do try to keep their love and respect for each other in tact, so thank you for noticing. And I do know you can wait, you've all done so very patiently... won't be long now.
Julie L. -- You've been waiting forever, I know, I know! So has Darcy! I couldn't get my act together to get this chapter posted for so long, he's aged a year or two! I sort of feel like their as much your friends as we are, sometimes! And hmmm... what happened next wasn't hard to predict, was it?
As for your comments on the second half, thank you! It's been awhile since posting a "HMS" scene sooooooooo I hoped people would enjoy! It's funny, I wrote that line for Darcy to tease Lizzy and then I suddenly went, "D'uh, Lizzy would totally make fun of that!" Oh, and yes, Caroline's dress will make an appearance. Glad you haven't forgotten!
Lucy -- Hope you found the chapters about the cufflinks and they make sense. They are just a little plot point that happened to come up by accident, and sort of grew from there. They were very useful from time to time!
Julie -- I know you felt like it was forever... and I'm so glad you're still around the fandom to read the conclusion. Only one more chapter to go. I hope it feels complete to you. Darcy is a romantic soul and he's not done yet...
Gio -- I like to think that Darcy is in essentials, 'as he ever was', but Lizzy had to dig deep to find some of those essentials. He couldn't be mushy until he found the right woman.
As for the love scene... yes, Lizzy is always worried about others and their things! She doesn't want to disturb anyone! This chapter wasn't as challenging as the last one, to be honest. Once things are patched up, those two really get on like a house on fire! LOL Mushy proposals and sexy love scenes are fun! Finding the right tone for your story to end upon, a little more difficult!
Christina -- No, no mirage! But I can believe your reaction! So happy you enjoyed. Thanks for letting me know.
Roselle -- Thank you! I have to admit, this story gave me the opportunity to write the proposal of my dreams (second only to my husband's proposal, of course!)
Lella -- Wow, a new reader! You read it in one day! I'm completely flattered! I hope you didn't get any crumbs in your keyboard.
Renée -- What a comment! You are so very lovely to me and my story. I'm quite spoiled to be on this site. I don't know what to say except thank you for such kind words about my writing in general! I think I'm better off commenting on the specific chapter, and as you know, Renée , I've taken a lot of care with my Lizzy. I am not a Darcyholic like so many P&P ladies (not that there's anything wrong with that). I adore the character of Lizzy and I think I "get" her -- I've tried to modernize her appropriately. I do not think she's perfect but she's willing to learn from mistakes, just like Darcy. She's also willing to step forward in a relationship and that was one of the points of this scene. She could be bold (and take command) in the bedroom because Darcy let her be freely. It's an equality there, a give and take and give back again.
As for their "rock" comments! You and Julie are on the same wavelength! Glad I could tickle your funny bone.
Julia -- Oh, I know, proposals like that never happen, do they? I had a pretty good one, but it didn't include hundreds of tealights. I did have a waterfall, a bended knee and some champagne for afterwards to celebrate, so that's not too shabby! As for any real-life comparisons to the second-half of the chapter... no comment!!!!!
Shazza -- So glad to hear I've been recommended! What a lovely thing to hear, and I'm pleased you've enjoyed the story so much. My sauna scene is legendary? Wow! That's quite the reputation to live up to! This last love scene ... I had fun with it ... a little less nitty gritty detail I think than the sauna, but more of the emotion. That's just my opinion, of course, but writing this story has been a learning experience and each scene comes out differently! And I almost tempted you to see Ottawa?! A shame you didn't get the chance... although Kingston was a lovely little city when I visited there a few years ago.
And as for the whisper, I'm a little surprised no one else has asked... but I bet I don't have the answer you're looking for. When I initially wrote it, I think I had something in mind, but I've since forgotten. One night lately, I had another thought in mind, but then in the light of day, I thought, "Darcy wouldn't say that!" I think the point is, Darcy is a little bit different to all of us (even if I'm the writer of this story) and only the reader can decide what Darcy said based on her (or his) level of comfort. I think it's more fun that way anyway.
Annj -- Thank you for re-discovering this story... yes, I was a little shocked myself when I finished it. Stick around until about next week when the final chapter will be posted.
Again, thank you all for your comments -- they enlighten me as to what catches people's eyes and if my little view of the P&P world is fun to others. Only one chapter to go!
Tracey
