Much ADO about Darcy — Jane Grix

A rainstorm prevents Fitzwilliam Darcy from giving Elizabeth Bennet a letter after his botched proposal, so they part ways with their misunderstandings bitter and unresolved. They hide their passions behind a war of wit until some well-meaning friends conspire to bring them together. Much Ado About Darcy is an Austen and Shakespeare Mash-up, a Pride and Prejudice Variation Short Story or novelette set in the Regency Era.
