* ''Synopsis'': In the wake of [[OfficialCouple Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's]] marriage, Lady Catherine decides to take Anne to Bath in order to catch a husband. In the process, Anne meets several originalcharacters who help her grow as they become her friends and enemies. The realistic character development Anne undergoes as she gets strong enough to oppose her mother is very well done. Though there is a large amount of original characters, who the majority of the canon characters take a backseat to, those newbies are so well drawn out, they feel like they belong in the P&P world.

* ''Comments'': This is currently WIP, but the author updates every few days and I am completely hooked. She has a great style of writing and builds up tensions slowly and effectively. There are a couple of parts which I don't think are period appropriate, but they are rare and don't detract from the story. It is told from both Lizzie and Darcy's point of view, which adds to the tension since we can see what's going on from both sides when the characters do not.

* ''Comments'': Like the above, this is a series of published FanSequel novels. What distinguishes this series from so many others is not only that Aidan's a good writer who's clearly done actual research into the period beyond reading other Jane Austen novels, but also that she understands something fundamental about Mr. Darcy that many other writers don't; revelations about his character in the original aside, he's still supposed to be a bit of a jerk initially, and that his CharacterDevelopment in the original is meaningless if he doesn't have something to develop ''from''. As such, we get a version of Mr. Darcy who is recognisable and sympathetic, but also flawed and human, not an overly idealised cipher, and his life and world is fleshed out very effectively. The first and third books are closely linked to the original but the second is entirely divorced from it, putting Darcy in an unfamiliar context; YourMileageMayVary whether it works, but it's still quite interesting, and even though she doesn't often appear Elizabeth Bennet is a constant background presence throughout the trilogy that ties this Darcy to the original.

* ''Comments'': The premise is original. The beginning is complicated if you don't know the game, but gets clearer as thestory progresses. There are characters from all Jane Austen's novels, but ''Pride and Prejudice'' is the principal one (or that's what the author seems to think) and that's why I recommended it here. The story is notably funny. Overall it's worth reading. Not much romance, though.

''[[http://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_2008/allisonom.htm Particular Attachments]]'' by [[http://www.dwiggie.com/baronetage/view.php?user=55 AllisonOM]] Recommended by millernumber1
* Synopsis: 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. The story that broke the [[spoiler:Lizzy/Bingley]] barrier and offended most everyone! Well written, surprisingly free of angst, and incredibly well thought out AU. Also worth checking out is the author's hilarious April Fool's alternate end to this alternate universe fic: [[http://www.dwiggie.com/derby/old_2008/allisonom3.htm here]].

''Mr. Darcy's Diary'' by Amanda Grange, with some of the original JaneAusten inclusive (PerspectiveFlip)
* Recommended by @/LadyNorbert
* ''Pairing(s)'': {{Official Couple}}s, plus Anne de Bourgh/Colonel Fitzwilliam
* ''Synopsis'': As the title implies, it's the story of ''Pride and Prejudice'' told through entries in Mr. Darcy's personal journal. It begins shortly before Georgiana's aborted elopement with Wickham, and ends about six months or so following Darcy's marriage to Elizabeth. Darcy is presented as very human, proud, and somewhat disagreeable, but the presentation makes it almost understandable that he acts the way he does.
* ''Comments'': This is my favorite kind of fan fiction -- the kind that "spackles plot holes," as I like to call it, by presenting another character's point of view to show us what we couldn't see in the original work. We follow Darcy around as he slowly grows enraptured by Elizabeth, see his feelings when she rejects his proposal, watch him grow to understand how justified her remarks were, and become penitent and hopeful of a second chance. The writing style is close enough to the original to feel authentic, and the characterizations are precise.
