No doubt written by: BiazinhaGomes
Summary: A misunderstanding almost leads to a break up, that can only be fixed with the two thing they do better: sex and fighting
Ramble: This story starts out in the middle of everything. We slowly follow Bella as she goes through the day, and by the end, we find out what happened. Super short read, that frames the whole storyline very well. Perfect for a quick steamy read. :)

In the Shadows
In the Shadows written by: Hoodfabulous
Summary: Born into a life of power and privilege, Edward wants nothing more than to pledge his loyalty to his family, especially to his father, Carlisle. Drugs is money, money is power, and power is everything. Or is it? OS. Written in 2014. Repost. Banner by Obsessedtwibrarian
Ramble: I'll have to admit that I was a little thrown off by this story. From the label of the characters in the story, I expected things to go a little different. Though it did make sense at the end of the story. Maybe I was thinking a lot about The King and I? This story reminded me a lot of 'we kiss in the shadows'. So maybe the way this story turned out wasn't that big of a surprise.

The End and the Beginning
The End and the Beginning written by: rosemary
Summary: None given on the site (A Happy Assembly - completed stories)
Ramble: An interesting 'what if' story (spoilers ahead!!). The Mrs. Bennett is actually the second wife of Mr. Bennett. Kind of explaining why the older two daughters are so different from the others. Some of the characters are really different from what I expected, because there are quite a few changes from the original story. The background of Jane and Elizabeth is revealed over time. There are many, many chapters in this story. A long read that is well worth the time. Darcy a duke, on top of owning Pemberley. With the length of the story, the chapter is wrapped up nicely. Quite a few changes and secretes in this story. There were a few times when I got confused, because of some of the new characters in this story.

The Sweetest Ruin
The Sweetest Ruin written by: hyacinthgirl (Amber)
Summary: The original low angst story has William Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet meeting for the first time in Sin City. The cast includes a less angelic Jane and nice Caroline Bingley. (Meryton Reading Room)
Ramble: The summary has a very good warning. As I read the story, I was glad that I was given a warning about the change in personality. Sometimes it drives me nuts when characters are really different from what they seem to be in the original piece of work, but with fair warning this one did not irk me as much. Most of the story kind of goes as expected, with the whole meeting in Sin City, but it is still a wonderful read from the beginning till the end.
It is separated into 4 big parts with multiple chapters in each part.

How to Win the Heart of a Poet
How to Win the Heart of a Poet written by: Dawnr
Summary:When Elizabeth Bennet;s computer company runs into difficulties, she calls an outside consulting firm, headed by Fitzwilliam Darcy. (Meryton Reading Room)
Ramble: Pretty different from the basic story. The misunderstanding is different, and the ending of the story seems fitting. I have to admit that there were snippets from a book in the story that I skipped over. One of these days, I might read it if I ever reread the story. There are posted sequels to this story, and I might get to them one of these days, but we will have to see how things go.

Daniel
Daniel written by: DawnR
Summary: Daniel is Daniel Bennet, the eighteen-year-old brother of Jane, Elizabeth, and Lydia. This story's focus will be on Darcy, Elizabeth, and Daniel. Relationships will be the heart of the story. Families love, families protect one another, and sometimes the responsibility one feels to family can be all consuming. Somewhere along the way, Elizabeth Bennet has lost herself to this notion of duty, as her brother is being groomed to inherit her family estate. When a man from the northern country enters their lives, will Elizabeth even notice his silent observations of her, or has the woman in Elizabeth been overshadowed for so long by the role of devoted sister, that she is now unreachable? (Meryton Reading Room)
Ramble: A little different from most other Pride and Prejudice stories. There is the fact that there is a male heir to the Bennet's property. Elizabeth's role/character is a little different from most other stories and books. She is more of a protector in this story. Things are a little different in this story, but as a whole it makes sense. While I didn't completely understand Daniel's quirks, I found him to be a very interesting character that reminds me of my own brother in some ways. While it is not a really quick read, because of the length, it was very easy read and very captivating.

Characteristics of a Misunderstanding
Characteristics of a Misunderstanding written by: DawnR
Summary: There are times when first impressions are unreliable at best. A short story where two people discover that there is more to the other than meets the eye. (Meryton Reading, need username and password)
Ramble: A short one shot that doesn't really follow the original story that much. It actually starts with Jane's marriage. There are some things that are present from the original story, but for the most part I really like this quick read. There is a short time jump at the end for the epilogue and the story ends up finishing up really nicely. The ending is enough to give a finished feel to the story will allowing readers to imagine how things continue for the two of them.

Rain and Retribution
Rain and Retribution written by: ldb531
Summary: No summary posted (Completed AHA)
Ramble: I liked this story for the most part. I have to admit that there were points in the story that got me confused, because some of the characters in the story are very different from the book. With that being said, this story gave a really interesting perspective on some of the other characters. The two characters that were really different and threw me for a loop the most are Mr. Bennet, Jane, and Georgiana.

If Only In His Dreams
If Only In His Dreams written by: D'Arcy in Utah
Summary: No summary on site (AHA Completed)
Ramble: This is a little different from the original book. The Bennet parents are not really in this story, and there are only three Bennet siblings. one older brother, Jane and Elizabeth. Not only that, but Darcy's mother is still alive in this one. Part of me was surprised because no one is the mean/evil person. I mean, there are some characters that do some mot so nice things, but they are kind of excused as we read on and learn more about them. Love the last chapter with the quick fast forward. :)

Perfect Fit
Perfect Fit written by: Linda Wells
Summary: Billionaire Fitzwilliam Darcy is burdened with maintaining his family’s legacy following the tragic deaths of his parents, and must also attempt to restore his young sister’s spirit after becoming the victim of Internet luring by a former family friend. Elizabeth Bennet is a popular author of young adult mystery novels, written as a way of escaping first the behavior and then the memory of a dominating former lover. These two lonely people meet at a wedding, over a broken shoe, and learn that once upon a time can lead to a happy ending. (The book can be found on Amazon too)
Ramble: A modern twist on the classic story. Elizabeth has a history with Collins already that isn't that happy. While their history is not covered in a lot of details, readers are able to see how it shapes Elizabeth's character. At first, I thought the story could have ended earlier, but after reading it, the author ended it at the right place. I guess my original thought stemmed from where the classic story ended, so imagine my surprise when I got to where I thought the story will end, but see a more pages to the story. :)

Forget with Silence and Tears
Forget with Silence and Tears written by: Angela's Daydreams
Summary: Modern day story inspired by Jane Austen's Persuasion
Ramble: So this is from a different site. You have to log in before you can get to the story. This is slightly different from the usual stories for Persuasion. It has a modern twist to it. Most of the story takes place in the Bay Area and Seattle. Anne is a nurse, and Frederick joined the Peace Corps and is involved in technology.
