Posted in JA Fanfiction by Gaby A., Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice fanfiction
Some of my favorite Pride and Prejudice fanfictions over the years are those written by Gaby A. Her stories are always creative, show in depth interactions between the characters, excellent character development, and take you in directions you never thought possible. One thematic similarity in all her works is repeated often: when given a second chance, allow your heart to rule your head and find your true path with a chance at true love along the way.
Travelling by Post is a longtime faveorite of mine. In this story, a disgruntled Fitwillam Darcy is forced to travel by post in order to get to London in time for a business meeting of the utmost importance. Unbeknownst to him, Elizabeth will be his traveling companion and they both will get another chance to right past wrongs. What should have been one of the worst days of his life for being reduced to a circumstance so wholly beneath him turns out to be the beginning of a long trip into love everlasting.
An Unspoken Understanding, is similar thematically, but deals with the impending threat of scandal due to Lydia’s elopement with Wickham and Darcy’s decision to take a leap of faith and show his love for Elizabeth by saving her family.
Secrets Kept, in comparison to her other writings, deals more with Darcy as a rescuer to Elizabeth in the most trying of circumstances. He demonstrates more than faith, love and loyalty in this wonderful story, while proving once again that second chances are often a way to total bliss.
Lost in the Deep is perhaps my favorite of the bunch and deals with Georgianna’s struggles to find the love she deserves in spite of her wealth and connections and Fitzwillam’s struggle to allow her to choose her own path. Of the four fanfics, all of which are wonderful, funny and heart warming reads, this is my favorite of Gabby A.’s works.
Hopefully Gaby A. will continue to write and share with us the further adventures of Darcy and Elizabeth in the future. Her writing is so well done that publishing her work would not be out of the realm of possibility….we hope!

Posted in Jane Austen Becoming Jane Fanfiction, Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice fanfiction
Upon Lydia disgracing the Bennet family, Elizabeth takes the position of a London governess, although she has never forgotten the man she has come to love in Mr. Darcy. Upon being attacked and fleeing from her employer, Elizabeth finds herself with a chance to regain his love when she finds herself under the protection of Mr. Darcy as her wounds and spirits heal. She does hold him to a promise though, to protect others as well, and requires him to vow to honor the secrets she needs to be certain are kept.
Thematically similar to another of Gabby A.’s fan fiction pieces, Traveling by Post, Secrets Kept is the story of finding one’s true path when fate leads you back to the one you love. If you enjoyed these two sequels to Pride and Prejudice, you may also enjoy An Unspoken Understanding, and Lost in the Deep, both are equally as good.

Posted in JA Fanfiction by Gaby A., Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice fanfiction, Missed Meeting at Pemberley
Elizabeth finds herself in need of a quick trip to London in order to assist her Aunt and Uncle Gardiner while they recover from illness. Set six months after the Hunsford proposal, Elizabeth’s opinion has been greatly changed by Mr. Darcy’s letter and her subsiquent tour of Pemberley. Much to both Elizabeth and Darcy’s surprise, they end up sharing a post coach to London quite by chance and have a second chance at happiness. Travelling by Post is a longtime favorite of mine, that shows what can happen if fate takes a hand and we take the chance our heart desires.
Gaby A.’s other JA fan fiction stories are equally as statisfying to read: Lost in the Deep, An Unspoken Understanding, and Secrets Kept are not to be missed.
