50 Twilight Shades of Darcy: Part One
The OUTRAGEOUS MR DARCY, who was wearing his LUCKY SUIT, met up with his bookish son, MR DARCY at THE PLACE ON DALHOUSIE, that renowned hangout of the very best ladies of the night.
"Son, I've brought you here to pop your cherry!" he boomed, and enjoyed watching li'l Darcy's face turn SCARLET. "Take your pick of these charming ... errr ... people - I wanted to get you some FREELOVE, son, before it's too late for you!"
"Gulp!" thought mini Darcy, looking at the assortment of lovelies smiling toothily at him, "I'm in at THE DEEP END here" but, afraid to cross his father, and mindful of his promise to his mother to always accept A GIFT IN DECEMBER, he made his pick. Unfortunately he picked the one girl who was holding out for marriage.
"Papa, it must be her. There must be a CHRISTMAS WEDDING in my future" the besotted boy pleaded. adjusting his FROSTY PANTS to try and hide his excitement.
Unable to resist his son's puppy-dog eyes, and keen to finally offload himself of his frankly boring virgin son, Mr Darcy Sr arranged a hasty wedding for the pair, inviting the patrons of the establishment to witness it. They all muttered to themselves "I wonder if he knows HOW TO KISS AN UNDEAD BRIDE?"

50 Twilight Shades of Darcy: Part Two
The very much ALIVE MR DARCY was looking forward to his first night with his INTERSTELLAR SUPER BRIDE (he was very besotted), planning to impress her with his masculine arts, with a mental schedule built up after literally minutes of ADORING her from a distance...
Finally they were together, in SECRET. In a flash, Mr Darcy was clad only in EXCELLENT INTENTIONS (oo-er!). Putting on his most seductive voice, he said "I've been waiting for this night, and have a tried and tested love-making routine that will knock your socks off. Each of my FOUR FRIENDS agree: my toothbrush and parsnip technique is the best! And if you are lucky, I'll have you on that coffee table, moooing like you've never done so before!"
But, rather than swooning in lust, as he'd hoped, his bride exposed her fangs, and murmured "SCREAM FOR ME" as she bit into his jugular. For the lovely lady of the night was in fact a vampire! (duh! duh! durrrrrr!) and wanted nothing more than to be wearing FIFTY (bloody) SHADES OF MR DARCY, the tedious bore.
Momentarily surprised, Darcy soon roused himself, found a garlic sausage sandwich he had ready to start compulsively feeding his bride, and smushed it on her face in defence.
In seconds she was no more, and Darcy looked on sadly as she went from being a gorgeous vampire to motes, falling in a pile, DUST TO DUST.
Days later, the gossip still hadn't died down, as all the world twittered that he'd have been better off HOLDING OUT for a nice normal girl.

It was a dark and story evening, because how else could these stories start, when INTERSTELLAR SUPER GIDEON THE NINTH found herself face to face with the WAYWARD SHADOW QUEEN in the depths of the famous, nay infamous, NINTH HOUSE (nine seems to be in this season). Gideon had come to kill THE BEAST, and for that reason, Gideon was dressed IN DISGUISE, but the Shadow Queen decided to go with the much more fashion forward approach of only wearing GLITTER AND BLOOD. This shocking choice of attire apparently caused Gideon to declare she was “BURNED by HER DEVOTION to the Shadow queen.” Sadly, it was not to be as the Shadow Queen declared, “It would only result in LOVE AND HEARTBREAK for I am the Beast.” Unfortunately, Gideon had meant the burning part literally, as the house caught fire and the world ended in FIRE AND BRIMESTONE. The world declared it TRAGIC, mostly that it hadn’t happened sooner.

The LITTLE MR. DARCY was waiting expectantly for his wedding day. (What exactly the little refers to is up to the reader’s imagination). He was to marry the NORSE WOMEN IN THE WINDOW. Mr. Darcy knew she had a name, but it was just slipping his mind at the moment. They had met in TEXAS where they were both CHASING DREAMS across the barren landscape and having various success at catching them. For the wedding, Mr. Darcy was dressed in his best TUTU’S & COWBOY BOOTS, as is proper for any Texas wedding, and the woman formally in the window was wearing a SECRET WEDDING DRESS. As Mr. Darcy said I DO, the women formally in the window took one long look at Mr. Darcy and replied, “I DON’T.” At which point, she revealed the secret in her wedding dress, as she used the dress to kill Mr. Darcy. The world was shocked at this “WEDDING AND A KILLING” but declared in proper fashion, that “EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON” and went home.
Team IraStory #1:
"Once upon a time, the delicately Marked Mr. Darcy and the heavily Inked Princess Bride -- two friends who had bonded over their mutual interest in body modification -- fell in love, and decided to get married. They traveled to the Wolf Hall, were their wedding feast was to be held. They chose to Feed their guests with local delicacies and dazzle them by donning their favorite treasures. Mr Darcy wore a Crown of Coral and Pearl while the princess bride wore a dress made of Dark Matter. Unfortunately, the dark matter was not as stable as she had thought, and it leaked out into the world. "Everything has turned Fifty Shades!," Mr. Darcy cried as he looked at the horrible, grey world. "Perhaps we should ask the wise oracle Anna Karenina, for advice," suggested the princess bride, who felt a tad bit guilty. They visited Anna Karenina, who told them they must travel to The Land of Painted Caves and collect all the colors that had been lost from the world. Mr. Darcy and the princess bride left that very day. Their quest too many years, but finally they succeeded and the world was once again filled with color. Everyone in the world said that Sense and Sensibility had been restored."

They decided to go to The Land of Painted Caves, where they could Eat, Pray, Love, and partake of all manner of entertainments, including costume glamour photo shoots. Anna Karenina wore a jacket of Bone Tree bark, and Whitney wore The Knife of Never Letting Go on a strap across her chest. "We look like American Gods," commented Anna. "We look like Sisters First!" replied Whitney. Unfortunately, Anna's jacket fell apart and the muddle of colors started to resemble Fifty Shades of Mr. Darcy.

He was determined to win her heart as he had long since been infatuated with her. Mr. Darcy took his time to look his best in Leather and Lace and was breathless when he saw Elizabeth wearing the The Perfect Dress, which emphasized her curves delightfully. After a battle of wills that went on for hours, with neither of them relenting, Mr. Darcy finally broke down and asked Elizabeth, "Why Not Me?" With a slight look of pity and a shake of her head she told him, "Maybe in Another Life," and walked away. At the sight of her leaving him behind once again, his feelings still unreturned, Mr. Darcy felt The Sharpest Sting in his heart and, as he had really thought her feelings might have finally changed, muttered "It Seemed Liked a Good Idea at the Time".

The SAVAGE former doctor MR.DARCY had met his match in the SILVER haired witch, ALICE. At an inn called THE NINTH HOUSE they met, and Darcy fell prey to Alice’s plot to uncover THE DISCOVERY OF WITCHES. She thought this “discovery” was one she could use in her quest for power, and she needed a patsy for a spell. Of course, she didn’t know what the discovery was. Darcy was once a finely dressed gentleman doctor, but now wore nothing MORE THAN BLOOD and a codpiece, as Alice had reduced him to this state. She wore all black, as she thought that’s what all witches wore, but her pointed hat was topped with a beautiful tiara that contained the magical PANDORA’S STAR. The star gave her power over lesser mortals, like Darcy. With the last of his strength, Darcy proclaimed “I will NEVER NEVER help you, for I know what the other witches have discovered, and you are not worthy of this power!” Alice said, “DOCTOR, SLEEP. You have given me all the help I need.”
Alice turned around three times, stroked her tiara with the powerful star on it, dipped her hand in Darcy’s blood, and waved her arms around a bit. There before her appeared a huge book. “PRACTICAL DEMONKEEPING, Housecleaning Simplified, and the Secret to Being a Nice Person” was the title. Darcy giggled a little at the look on her face, then fell asleep.
The other patrons at the inn, who had been cowering behind the bar while Alice called forth the book, stood up as one and laughed at Alice. One said “Alice, you have a STEELHEART. We hope you enjoy the vacuuming tips. Oh, and Darcy, when you wake up, can you have a look at my elbow please? It hurts.

The AMERICAN STEVE JOBS one day met a STRAY non-American called DARCY at THE BOOKSHOP OF YESTERDAYS. Jobs was there to rekindle his love of reading, Darcy was there for some light debauchery, perhaps to read, although reading wasn’t his strength, or, you know to find love. There was a poster for CARAVAL on the wall. And they found themselves reading about it together. Was love kindled? They went together to CARAVAL, where the magic was strong, the performers electric. There was Steve in his STUCK UP SUIT, and Darcy in his Black leather vest with the SILVER BUTTONS on it, not a love match one would see from the outside... Then, suddenly, as if someone else was pulling his strings, Steve planted a big wet kiss on Darcy. ""What is happening to me? I don't kiss random leather-clad women! I mean men! I want you GONE, GIRL!! I mean I want you gone, man!" Steve said. "You are nothing but a KISS THIEF" Darcy cried. “And why can you not tell if I am a man or a woman?”
Little did the pair know that they would soon be falling upon HARD TIMES. Even harder than the gender confusion that Steve was experiencing. For those who kiss under the lights of Caraval cannot escape their fate.
The Master of ceremonies and his cronies were watching the whole event. His Caraval was beautiful on the outside, but was really nasty underneath the facade. “You are about to experience THE SUM OF ALL FEARS, for those who visit here are forever changed, and not for the better.”

The ever FEARFUL MR DARCY and the MERCIFUL ALCHEMIST named Susan met on THE ROAD TO WIGAN PIER. They had decided to meet up in the dead of winter to see the ever rare BLUE MOON. Why Darcy was wearing a KILT when it was freezing out was anyone's guess, but it did speak to his lack of foresight. Susan, as was her wont, was practically dressed, and wrapped in a RED SCARF. Susan wanted to see the moon, yes, but she also wanted to rid herself of Darcy's unwanted affections.
Darcy said “Susan, I love you so much, I'LL GIVE YOU THE SUN!!!"
Susan riposted "Darcy, you idiot, we are looking at the moon! I break with thee, and it is for the best. YOU CAN THANK ME LATER."
This truly was THE END OF THE AFFAIR.
Those hardy souls who had to listen to Darcy crying into his cornflakes, stated with as much astronomical knowledge as Darcy himself, that TARNISHED ARE THE STARS that ruined his love life.

Kash, a twisted one (just ask anyone who heard him tell some of his inside jokes!), met the Ex, Mr. Darcy, for their one-year breakup anniversary at a club called the House of Darkness. Mr. Darcy was the sort of person filled with bittersweet memories, but he wanted to enjoy himself tonight. They both wanted to meet the special dancer, a "Girl with All the Gifts".
Kash wore a nice suit, although his suit had some stray pieces of fabric that seemed to be coming undone, so other guests suspected it had probably been sitting in a closet for years. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy looked a little awkward in what looked like a first year prep school uniform.
The Girl with All the Gifts started to dance and Mr. Darcy, unable to resist, moved forward. "Wait", said Kash to Mr. Darcy. Then, not following his own advice, Kash grabbed the girl instead.
"Since you are a doctor, you are supposed to be smart. You should know better. You are messing around with Death, Doctor." said Mr. Darcy to Kash.
Since this is not the backroom book group, we cannot describe what happened next, but as a result Kash was sentenced to death. It was a mistake to meet at the House of Darkness - said the world - "They should have gone to the Chocolate House instead." Much safer there.

Among the wicked with his sense of humor, Dimple preferred to keep to himself for the most part. All that changed one day, as it usually does, when he met a certain someone with a crooked smile to go along with a decent sense of humor. Broken but determined, Dorothy felt the same about Dimple, and their life was forever changed after they met during an occult course at The Institute of Modern Monster Studies. It was love (and lust) at first sight.
It didn’t hurt Dimple’s feelings that Dorothy came with money, for moving from his shack into a decent sized mansion never hurt anyone. Even this narrator has to admit the marriage had a rocky start when a murder at the mansion happened, though, which is why they rushed outside in the middle of the night dressed worse for wear. Dimple came out with a wrinkle in almost every inch of his clothes, and Dorothy’s attire suspiciously had what looked like pale horse hairs off the mare, Rishi, that they kept in the stables. Another mystery for another night, that. It became clear soon enough that murder of all things was afoot.
“I say!” exclaimed Dimple. “Don't throttle me, but I think we are dealing with more than the evil deed of murder, but also someone who dabbles in the Art of Theft! Your father’s grimoire on raising the dead is gone, too. I saw it conveniently near the dead body when we first found the corpse, but now both are missing.”
“You’re right, Dimple. This person may be messing around with necromancy and raising zombies. That book basically turns Night of the Living Dead into Night of the Living Deed! Deed to undead souls, that is. They definitely show they know how to stray from the road of sanity into the twisted ones of madness."
Next more small items around the house were taken, including black candles, which made Dimple wonder why Dorothy’s family had such stuff laying around the house in the first place, but no matter. Amazingly, the murder was solved. It wasn’t easy, but sometimes even these two can accomplish something.
The victim was the butler, a long-time boyfriend of a local (and odd) village girl. The murderer? Mrs. Mustard, the Maid. It turned that a local girl in the village had questionable interests best not discussed in polite company (although perhaps one day in the backroom?). When she found out her boyfriend was dead, she stole the grimoire to raise him. She was indulging in raising the dead for reasons best not pictured.
Finally Dimple shrugged his shoulders and agreed with what the world says: “Nice Girls Don’t Date Dead Men!”

She was wearing a gown woven with swan feathers and looked exquisite in it. He hesitated touching her cold skin, hoping his cloak of fire would not burn the corpse. He whispered to her ears," Passed sometime after midnight, didn't you, your Highness?" He thought he heard the corpse scoff at him, "Typical", but it may be his wild imagination running amuck. He spotted his assistant running towards him. "Sir, you are to be present at the Royal Engagement of the newly crown Princess, following her Coronation." Suddenly, everything fell into place.

Especially as Robbie was clothed in Ice Blue fabric, while Lady Midnight had gone for an Endless Stretch of Blue.
Robbie jabbed "Over You, Over Us", always eager to put the Lady down.

Team Avarice - Story 2:
One stormy night, Wilder, The Guardian met Villian the Truthwitch at the Tunnel of Bones. Elders of the Teddy Bear People, they needed to discuss how to tackle the tension between their group and The Doll People. Wilder, in an attempt to prove his authority, wore A Blade So Black, while the tatty Villain went with her regular outfit which was In Pieces.
"If we do not come to a solution, we may find ourselves fighting against a Bloodchild" said Wilder. Villain always loathe to meet the dramatic Guardian, who was known amongst the Teddy Bears for his paranoia, and scaremongering.
"As the great Lord Theodore once said, Even White Trash Zombies get the Blues", Villain reminded the anxious man, quoting the long-time manta of their people.
After a long discussion, the pair agreed on one thing: they did not want to go to war with The Doll People. So they proposed the only thing they could think of that would bring the two groups together: Baking and Babies, the favourite pastime of all the Toy Creatures.
Some time later, when all tension had ceased between the groups and The Doll people proved to be much better at Baking and Babies, despite claiming otherwise, there was only one thing Wilder and Villain could agreed on. "We were well and truly Pucked Over by those sneaky Dolls!"
