You Don't Know me is a 1960's era retelling featuring Darcy as a heir to a Communications/Radio empire who is sent to a remote city for a year to think about a bad decision. Eliza Bennet is one of his disc jockeys who likes to play modern music. As in cannon, our dear couple rubs each other the wrong way but in a world of astronauts, possible nuclear war, and repressed women. I loved this story!

I, Darcy features a modern man whose mother named him William Darcy who he is convinced is a putz. This Mr. Darcy owns a restaurant conglomerate. He meets his Elizabeth by chance and then again in a small town on her family farm. He learns to appreciate his fictional namesake as he learns to see the world from her point of view.

The Ride Home features Darcy & Elizabeth discussing their missunderstandings (post Hunsford & Lydia). Darcy is sent to pick up Lizzy from a bad date and finds her drunk - which makes for a rather loose and sexy conversation. This story was a lot of fun!

Darcy Strikes Out features Darcy as a star baseball player and Elizabeth as a sports reporter that he thinks should just fall all over him. Obviously he was wrong. Georgiana's history with Wickham leaves her unable to walk so there is an aspect of handicap awareness (that felt well done from my perspective). Once he gets over himself and Lizzy finds the truth, they find their happily ever after.

Reason to Hope is set during WWI where Darcy is in the Air Force and based outside Meryton. The story doesn't quite follow cannon but the interaction and arguments with Elizabeth are perfect for the time period but without a lot of angst.

Hot for Teacher takes the Pride and Prejudice characters and their personalities to Pemberly Academy where Darcy is the principal and Elizabeth is the art teacher. The plot includes Wickham and Fitzwilliam as other teachers and a surprising Mr Collins as the janitor. The author did an amazing job getting all the usual misunderstandings in the short story with a steamy happily ever after.

Without Affection features an older Mr. Darcy reminiscing when Elizabeth looked the most beautiful. He then goes on to tell us his experience about the birth of his first child and the interesting decision he made after the fact. Elizabeth, of course, has the perfect arguments and strategies to change his mind - much to everyone's satisfaction.

In Terms of Perfect Composure gives us a background of Darcy rushing back to Longboure after fixing up the Lydia issue. The variation is Lady Catherine arriving while Darcy is in town. This leads to our dear couple working out their misunderstandings in different circumstances.

A Resentful Man provides Darcy a point of view between his failed proposal and the early trip to Pemberly. It contains nothing unexpected.
