By Miss Bingley's Persuasion by Rosemary
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Pride and Prejudice variation where after the obvious dislike between Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet at various functions, Caroline Bingley decides to befriend Elizabeth, hoping to improve the relationship between those two. Her motive, she would like another friend to invite to Pemberley when she becomes Mrs Darcy. This is a delusion shared only with her sister Mrs Louisa Hurst.
An entertaining variation as we notice the improvement of the Bennet family, and especially of Darcy.
My usual complaint is that again there is not enough about the Colonel and Mary Bennet. But anouther enjoyable re-read.

Something New to Observe A Pride and Prejudice Vagary by Kimbelle Pease
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

In this Pride and Prejudice variation Mr Bennet takes action after Darcy's behaviour at the Meryton Assembly, in front of Bingley, the Colonel and his brother the Viscount. The three elder Bennet sisters and Charlotte Lucas have more accomplishments than canon. Can there be a happy ending for all the participants.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this well-written variation, with its so many likeable characters. An entertaining re-read
