280.) Men and Boys by WadeH:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12327133...
"This little one shot takes place in the parlor at Longbourn during the gentlemen's first visit after Lydia's wedding."
281.) Curiosity and Correspondence by Mariafaith: "A Pride and Prejudice "what-if" story that begins after Elizabeth receives Darcy's letter at Hunsford." 4 chapters http://austeninterlude.com/maria/civ/...
282.) Circles by WadeH:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12341599...
"During the Hunsford proposal, Elizabeth goes to extraordinary lengths to try to be civil and polite in her rejection, which is effective… for a while." (Short-Story Complete)
283.) Secret Marriage by Tamsin: 45 chapters and an epilogue. The author’s work seems to be that of someone whose primary language is not English, in grammar, in spelling and in the quality of prose used. The premise of a secret marriage of many years for ODC due to inheritance limitations is a good one, although it does stretch the imagination.

284.) Taken P&P, By MAB
http://meryton.com/aha/index.php?show...
Over 350 pages this Regency JAFF/P&P has much angst. There is a young girl, 5 years old, beaten and left by the roadside who is found by Mr. Bennet and reared along with his daughter. He dies and his wife remarried. She dies and her husband remarries. Unfortunately it is to the Mrs. Bennet we all know who in this variation spews even more hateful words at the foundling and treats her so badly that even Kitty and Lydia try to protect her. Then Mr. Bingley moves into Netherfield. And Darcy is intrigued by this Elizabeth, finding himself draw to her and finds a spirit of deja vu tormenting his mind. In this tale he also handles his attraction to her in the worse possible manner as she attends a ball on the arm of her "adopted" uncle (His wife is sick and stays home.) and Caroline Bingley spreads gossip that Elizabeth Bennet is under his "protection".
The Fitzwilliam side of the family have much to answer for in this tale. It does have its dark moments. The author spins an imaginative story for many of the character...missionaries to Africa? Bedlam? Anne and "that perpetual bad boy"? Even the comeuppance each actor is dealt is highly creative. This was a 4.5 star read for me.
285.) Reconcilable Differences: Kathy Taylor: https://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_200...
Jeanne posted this one and her review appealed to me. Loved it. Darcy accidently overhears Charlotte & Elizabeth talking while he is resting up in a tree! He climbs down and requests to speak with Elizabeth privately. Love how he handles each of her points about his character.
286.) Mysteries of Pemberley Regency, By Alex9903/ Amy D'Orazio July 10, 2018, Jan 15 2018
http://meryton.com/aha/index.php?show...
http://austenvariations.com/the-myste...
287.) A Nightmare on Grosvenor Street (unpublished) by Karen Cox - 4.5 stars
https://dl.bookfunnel.com/yqpin9w3yo
288.) Particular Attachments by Allison OM:
https://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_200...
"Digressing from P&P at the proposal in Kent, this story begins two years after tragedy befalls both Lydia and Jane. It follows the newlywed Elizabeth, Kitty, Georgiana, Bingley, and the still-unmarried Mr. Darcy towards an emotional resolve from their many losses."
Note that it does say “the newlywed Elizabeth” and “the still-unmarried Mr. Darcy. I read this even though I really hate the idea of Darcy never marrying Elizabeth. I have read stories before in which they are married to others but in the end they always are together. Thus for me it was only a 3 star production.
289.) To Be a Man By: Dr. Breifs Cat – “Elizabeth and Darcy greet a turning point in the life of their son with very different feelings.” Regency. One shot. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11978706/1/

231.) Some Natural Importance by Jancat http://meryton.com/aha/index.php?show... 33 chapters, a modern story set in Meryton, Indiana and in Chicago.

The author does not want this story reviewed on GRs. Just know that I recommend it.
Sheila wrote: "230.) Mr Bennet's Dutiful Daughter 5 stars - audible version, reread"I have this on my TBR list. It looks like you have been doing a lot of reading that you have been enjoying. Hopefully you continue finding more books that you enjoy and don't come across any that aren't as enjoyable.
I loved all of Joana's books and hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
Sheila wrote: "232.)

I have read a few other books by this author that I really enjoyed and thought it sounded interesting. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

239.) More Justified in Acting By: MorganAW https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12675570... 9 Chapters “A discovery in the Kellynch library gives Captain Wentworth greater insight into events of the past and the possibilities of the future prior to his re-introduction to Anne Elliot causing him to question his long held beliefs regarding their separation.” 4 stars
241.) Breathe by knitchick https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6065783/... “Based on the 2005 movie. What would have happened if instead of walking away in anger, they had just taken a breath and closed the scant distance between them during the proposal scene in the rain? A story about forgiveness and overcoming the obstacles of family, friends, society and their own pride and prejudices to find their happy ending. Fluff. Some characters are slightly OOC.” 3.5 star MA (24 chapters)

Steaming ahead Sheila, great progress :)
249.) Betrayed by Forgotten Fears By: LadyJaeza 30 chapters. “Lizzy meets Georgiana under desperate circumstances before the summer at Ramsgate. Mr. Darcy is his usual not-so-charming self and must work to gain her regard. Danger waits for Georgiana unless she can remember why she was so afraid.” This story is much more than that but that danger encompasses the main angst. The rest had to do with Mrs. Gardener’s mother, Lady Helena, and her matchmaking skills aka ability to introduce certain young ladies into agreeable society. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12851624...
250.) Havenswood By: Babsy1221: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10217645... “Elizabeth never meant for this to happen. One mistake-one simple mistake-and her life had unraveled around her. Now, on a path she never expected or wished for, she must learn about herself, about the things that are lost along the way to who we will become, and about the power love has to heal as well as to harm. After such a mistake, can she truly ever be happy again?” 9 chapters with a 10th chapter being a one-shot at a variation on the same story. 5 stars
251.) Kiss and Tell By: avejane https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11898865... “Elizabeth and Darcy can't stand one another. They can't keep their hands off one another either. A tale of love, trust and some lust. (Low angst. Lot of smut)” 20 Chapters 3.5 stars Unpublished
252.) Reconcilable Differences by Kathy Taylor, a one-shot, Darcy climbs a tree during his morning walk after the Netherfield Ball to sit and contemplate his feelings but then overhears Charlotte and Elizabeth discussing their opinions...about him in particular. 4 stars https://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_200...

257.) Failing and Fainting - A Prologue, 5 “parts” & an epilogue: Darcy accompanies Bingley when he returns to Hertfordshire. One day before they visit the Bennet family, a storm breaks out and alters a bit the course of events. 4 stars http://www.meryton.com/mrr/elsa/F&...

I know! There are just soo many great books already out and with the constant addition of new ones it is impossible to keep up with them. Especially when you have a tendency to enjoy rereading books you have already read and loved.
