I'm very proud to announce that one of my favourite short stories is now part of Mrs. Darcy's Story Site.
Check out Lisa L's fantabulous "In His Heart, In His Mind" here. I'm sure you'll love it, and you can express your appreciation in this thread!
The possibility existed to meet her at any moment; he never knew when he might turn a corner and find her there. While it had never been often enough to suit, when chance provided the occasion, he proved himself a useless mess and would excuse himself abruptly. Darcy could not secure a peaceful outlook even with his removal from her immediate company; as soon as he had quitted it he began to plan how he might engage it again.
Gorgeous, captures exactly how I imagined Darcy must feel after he realized he was falling in love. Of course, I could be wrong; he could be silent or reticent rather than tongue-tied, he could avoid her purposely rather than out of discomfort and clumsiness. But you have painted the picture I have so often dwelt on in my mind, and with such gorgeous words!
This was so beautifully and patiently written! I was completely caught, I may as well had been right there in that fantasy with Darcy... kudos to you for a beautifully written story!
