a modern Darcy with glases.

That’s all.

All right: Currently you can find one it in Boogima’s Thirteen Days and Karen A’s Creep.

This story had my whole sympathies right from the beginning as it shares the title with my favorite song – Fix you by Coldplay, in my humble opinion the best song in the world (as evidenced by my iTunes counter according to which I had listened to the song arond 800 times in a year… and which is currently playing in the background, yes, you are allowed to call me an addict). But I’m disgressing… yes, I judged the story by it’s title first of all and it didn’t disappoint.

When an unexpected event disrupts the Netherfield ball, Mr. Darcy finds out that leaving Hertfordshire and Elizabeth Bennet behind is more easily said than done.

At the beginning Boogima apologised for having “chosen one of the oldest plots in the JA fanfic book”, but that’s completely unnecessary, because her take on “suddenly after the Netherfield ball, Elizabeth and Darcy have to marry” is ingenious, loveable and portrayed in a perfect way.

Darcy, gosh, he is so perfectly characterized that I didn’t know what I wanted to do with him, slap him (at certain points) for either his arrogance, his mistaken pride or his stupidity or simply hug him. It may have to do with the fact that we get the whole story from his perspective only and his thoughts and musings are so fitting, that I wish I could write them in such a way. It’s – once again – simply perfect.

“Fix you” is complete with 15 chapters and available at AHA and FF.net.
