Here is what I posted:

I like to recommend all to read the "Lizzy & Darcy" and "Brougham & Holly " stories at Scotch and Sirens site.
The "Lizzy & Darcy" story starts with letters and the story takes off with their accidental meeting. The story is
wonderfully written; it is funny and sweet. Here is a portion that I love:

Lizzy joined in the chorus with her cousin, both of their voices ringing out loud and clear above the sounds of the river. When they had finished that song, Lizzy launched into the next song that popped into her head, and Holly joined her by the second line. Having to constantly look down at their feet in order to keep their balance on the rocky bottom, they sang as they trudged along, splashing water as they went.

Comin' thro' the rye, poor body
Comin' thro' the rye
She draigl't a' her petticoatie
Comin' thro' the rye

Gin a body meet a body
Comin' thro' the rye
Gin a body kiss a body
Need a body cry?

And when they got to the chorus, they both sang it at the top of their beautiful voices.

O Jenny's a' weet, poor body
Jenny's seldom dry
She draigl't a' her petticoatie
Comin' thro' the rye

They were rounding a bend in the river and had reached the edge of the pool by the end of this verse. They continued on to the chorus once again for a roaring finish, both looking at each other now and singing boisterously and with great feeling.

O Jenny's a' weet, poor body
Jenny's seldom dry
She draigl't a' her petticoatie
Comin' thro' the rye

With the last word just leaving her lips, Lizzy turned her head to take in the view and saw Mr. Darcy staring at her from the bank and a sleepy looking Lord Brougham a short distance behind him sitting up under a tree peering delightedly out at them both. Lizzy gasped and her mouth hung open as if it were a net ready to scoop up a fish.

The other story "Brougham & Holy" goes in parallel first with the "Lizzy & Darcy" story with a different POV, then diverts into just Holy and Brougham.
The link to the site is http://dear.to/scotch_and_sirens. Happy readings,

I hope it meets your satisfaction.
