Well, Lauren, I don't know whether this is the scene you're thinking of, but in Chapter 7 of "An Arranged Marriage," Darcy and Elizabeth attend a concert, and he whispers the translation of an Italian aria in her ear. Could be another story that you have in mind, but for some reason I happen to know the referenced story intimately.

-Jan

It is one of my alltime favorite stories, and I especially love that scene!

Jan H., are you working on any more of your terrific stories?

I am looking for a story I read a while ago but cannot remember the author or the name of the story. It was modern and rated NC17. Elizabeth went to some dinner at Charles and Jane's home in which Darcy attends. They were supposed to stay for the weekend (I think it was a Christmas celebration because I remember snow and maybe presents). Caroline is not invited but when she finds out D will be there, she shows up. E helps D by pretending they are dating, a suggestion from E's father to "save" D from C. calls C to warn him but it is too late. When C shows up,D opens the door and E, at that moment, goes and stands close to D, holding his hand, to welcome C. During the weekend, they find themselves sleeping together and they are not pretending anymore even though everyone else think that they are.
I do not remember in which site I read it from. I hope this story sounds familiar to somebody.

I think the story you are referring to is The Lost Year. I can't remember which site it is on. I think it is here, though.

The Lost Year is written by Andie and posted on this site. Here's the link

Great story!

but in Chapter 7 of "An Arranged Marriage," Darcy and Elizabeth attend a concert, and he whispers the translation of an Italian aria in her ear.

Gosh, Jan, I feel quite embarrassed! Of course it is!

Thank you, Gwendolyn! I'm not writing at present, but the wheels are still turning in my brain. Of course, with my luck they're probably going in reverse.

"Gosh, Jan, I feel quite embarrassed! Of course it is!"

That's okay, Renee. With all the writers you keep up with, how could you possibly remember where that scene came from?

-Jan

I've just read "The Lost Year" and I truly enjoyed it. But will it ever be continued? I honestly hope so, it's such a good story.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, LUE....for your help in finding "The Lost Year". I have been going crazy for months looking for the story everywhere and in less than a day I get my answer here. I scanned the story, and it does contain the scene I was talking about. I will start re-reading today from the beginning.

Renee, thank you for the link but I did not need it since I know your site by memory. MDS was the first website I found when I first discovered JAFF online a little over a year ago. I would like to congratulate you for all the hard work you do to keep all of us entertained and informed. Even though there are a lot of readers, like me, that rarely post comments but you should know that all authors are greatly appreciated.

I would like to congratulate you for all the hard work you do to keep all of us entertained and informed.

Thank you, LCH, it's lovely to know how the fans appreciate my site. People like you keep me going, dear.

This is really not a question about ff. I missed all the Firth interviews last week. Do you know if they are posted anywhere? I believe he had an appearace on Daily Show and on the Regis show. Thanks.

Hi,
as for the Daily show, here is the link:

Thank you for bringing it to our attention

High!
Please help me I'm desperate to find a story about our beloved Darcy who is a half-dragon and half-human... It should be at DWG but I'm unable to locate it... Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I think what you are looking for is "A Touch of Night" by Sarah Hoyt & Sofie :) Love love this story! I only chanced upon it this year, and traced back the old chapters which was started quite a long while ago. Thankfully the story is finished :D
You can do a search in DWG with their names and retrieve

and Sarah has started a new story recently - Between The Night And The Morrow, and it's looking good already!

If you like a touch of the occult, I'd recommend "A Consort with Evil" by Lisa L. You can find it on her own pages on this site.

Hi! I am searching for a regency story where Lizzy somehow ends up at Netherfield with a head injury. She is left with the memories of a child. Jane is there and takes care of "child" Lizzy. There is also something about Caroline arguing with Lizzy about chess pieces and Darcy defends her. I can remember few details but recall it as being very amusing. Thanks!

Gio,
I was curious and peeked at the dragon Darcy over the DGW. I must say it was nice to picture him naked over and over again, yet I was most seriously displeased when I discovered that the last post to which I have access was not the last chapter, though it is acknowledged that the last post is the 31 of March and the last one I can get is the 28th. I have tried refreshing but it does not work. I went over the DG and they have a later update still. Any ideas?

It is also nice to picture riding on top of Darcy the dragon and fly across the sky in the beauty of the night
Eli, you try to use the Search feature in the DWG board, it works. Alternatively, Sarah has posted a link where you can download. But the format is quite cramp, so reading will get some getting used to.

(hope you don't mind, Renee)

I love Lisa L's stories too! Is she starting a new one?

I much rather like a ride of his half human form, you know. But who am I to judge somebody else's wims? Thanks anyway. The link worked perfectly well.

hope you don't mind, Renee

Not at all.

I love Lisa L's stories too! Is she starting a new one?

Don't think so. She's still working on her fabulous Mr. Popularity.

Oops, i hv forgotten abt Mr Popularity! *sigh* my pea size brain!

Please Help finding this story....

Elizabeth is married to Wickham. Darcy plans revenge on W so he convinces everybody to conspire with him. D convinces Jane to marry W but she ends up having to marry Collins, who is later poisoned by her. Theretfore, E has to marry W instead of J. Months later, I think, they go to Pemberley and W dissapears (D gets him drunk, sets him up with a maid to seduce him and makes up a story that he fled P in shame). Then D seduces E and she falls for him. D&E end up getting married. All of this is planned by Darcy.

I read this story recently but for the life of me I cannot remember the title or where I read it.

I hope somebody recognizes it!!!!

LCH

Goodness me! It sounds so awful that I would recomend you not to find it any more!
Just a joke...I hope you can find it.Any idea of the author? Tried to google some lines you remember?

Lily, I've read the story you're searching for. I will search too and let you know if I find it. I remember that I liked it.

Thanks Cindy! I am glad that you have read the story. I was beginning to think that I may be going insane %20void(0); Finding this story has developed into quite the pet peeve for me %20void(0); Good luck!

Hullo. I'm a fan of every Jane Austen fanfiction, but some time ago I read an interesting work in witch Elisabeth and Darcy made peace while in Meyrtown and he taught our heroine how to ride. I remember this part well because it was one of the most important of the entire story. I'd like to read it again...alas, I forgot title and author both...can anyone give me a hand???thanks

alexis,

I think it might be "Anxiety and Civility" on DWG. Check if that is what you are looking for.

LCH

Oh, I forgot to ask if anybody remembers the story that I am looking for (the plot is in a post on June 11th). I am still checking out stories to see if I can find it but no luck yet. I even tried to google it and also JAFF Index but no luck yet. Unless of course I miss it!!!

Again, please help...

LCH

I am hoping someone can help me recall the title of a story.

In this story, Elizabeth and Darcy get married. Elizabeth doesn't hear anything from her family and becomes distraught. In the meantime, unbeknownst to Elizabeth, Darcy doesn't mail her letters. It turns out there was a mail problem, and Elizabeth finally gets all of the letters at once. Of course, Lizzy is furious.

Does anyone recall a story with this plot?

Thanks!

I don't know where to post it, but I have found that today...

Dearest Renee!

Awwwwww, Basia, dearest friend, how sweet of you! It's indeed my birthday.

Thank you.

Renee,


HAPPY BIRTHDAY..or is it BELATED BIRTHDAY?? May you have a wonderful day!!!


Ima

BTW Erin, could the story you are looking for is When there was me and you and ff??

www.fanfiction.net/s/3875989/1/When_there_was_Me_and_You

Oh happy day to you! Hope you are happy, enjoying life and feeling loved! Cheers!

It's not the good place...but never mind!

BON ANNIVERSAIRE RENEE

Cathy

Happy BELATED BIRTHDAY Renee. Hope it was all you wanted it to be......

Renee,

Happy belated Birthday!!!!
May God Bless you with many, many more....Thank you for your wonderful site and all the hard work you do so that we can enjoy our jaff fix.

LCH

Thank you, thank you, my dears!

I had a lovely birthday, but at my age one wishes time wouldn't fly so fast...

Dear Renée,

one is so old as he/she feels, and as far as I can imagine, through Mrs Darcy, your spirit is very young still...

Belated, Happy Birthday to you and please stay
forever young!!!

Hello...

I am trying to find a story and wondered if any one recognised it. Not sure of all the details but I think it was an arranged marriage.
Anyway Darcy leaves Pemberley for a time and when he comes back for a ball, Elizabeth runs away when she sees him and he chases after her in a totally sweet moment. Not sure why but this scene sticks in my mind and if anyone has any clues I would be very happy.

Sorry for the lack of details

It sounds like Arranged Marriage by Jan H available at this site! Definitely one of my top five at least!

That's the one, thank you so much

Belated, Happy Birthday to you and please stay
forever young!!!

I'll remember that, dear Maria!

Hullo!
I read some time ago a fic in which Darcy and Elizabeth while still at Rosing Park, assist at the amourous encounter between Anne and a stableman. Elizabeth is shoked and there's a scene where Darcy keep her ears covered to stop her from hearing the other's moans and whatnot.
Is there someone who knows what fic is this???
Tanks

I think that the story you have in mind is the excellent Relative Indiscretions by Genette over at the Jane Austen Fanfiction Index. A fun story much like the excellent one's on this site :D

*delurks*

Hi, does anyone remember a ff where Elizabeth went to Darcy to ask for help, and Darcy agrees to help her only on the condition that she becomes his mistress?

Thanks,
Queenie

Queenie,

I think what you are looking for is Enid Wilson's "Bargain with the Devil" at AHA or 50M. It is great story and I highly recommend it.

Lili...

The fic you're looking for could very well be "Bargain with the devil", by Enid, but it could be also an older (unfinished for now) fic. The masterful "A Shade in His Character", by Rebecca E., has the same premise and I think I remember that it was the inspiration for Enid's, for its status as a very regretted, kinda eternal WIP (author says she's working on it, and given the quality of the writing, I'm hoping she is!).

I was thinking of A Shade etc. as well. Miracles do happen, but I have little hope to tell you the truth.
