Most Ardently is a fun, easy on the soul treasure – a femmeslash Pride and Prejudice AU, if you will.
Honors student Elisa Benitez – spirited, outspoken, poor, and independent – meets Darcy Fitzgerald, a mega-rich Kardashian type, in a lit class at Stevenson Community College. They fight ...
Sometimes, an artist emerges to breathe fresh life into a classic and the reader is left agog with delight. Granted, there have been so many retellings of Pride and Prejudice released over the last few years I can barely scrabble to the top of the hill of them to see ahead to the Sense and Sensibi ...
