Why This Must Be Read: Because Miera_c writes Jane Austen style fic that blows my mind, and I don't even read Jane Austen books. This is old fashioned romance at its best. I was originally weary of reading a period piece, but wow, this author brings a level of talent to writing fanfiction that I see rarely in others. The language and style is impressive, and how she writes Cameron and Elizabeth's evolving relationship sells you the story with no qualms or disbelief. Plus, John also stares as Elizabeth's brother, and the main cast makes a great read for all the friendships and relationships involved.
This is a unique gem in more than one sense. An AU based off of Jane Austin books, and its based around a pairing that should be cracky, but somehow just works.
She finished with the apron and bent to reach for the book only to find Captain Mitchell already there. His hand lifted the volume and collided with hers. He delivered the book into her hand but his fingers lingered for a moment, and Elizabeth glanced up to find him staring at her fixedly, as his fingertips stroked across the back of her hand in a way that made her flush and shiver at the same time.
Kate was settling at the piano and listening to Jennifer chatter before her lesson, neither of them paying attention to the others. His eyes burned into hers for a heartbeat more before he turned away, looking slightly ashamed of himself, and Elizabeth finally remembered to pick her book back up while her heart beat wildly and her head swam.
A younger woman might have thought the gesture only a flirtation or even an accident, but Elizabeth was a woman experienced in marriage, and she felt to her bones that the touch had been nothing innocent. There had been a world of meaning in that simple caress. And yet his high color and averted gaze (for she could not help but sneak a glance in his direction) suggested it had not been pre-meditated. He seemed as embarrassed by his own actions as she was flustered to have received them, but it had passed too swiftly for objection. And if she were honest with herself, Elizabeth could admit it should never have occurred to her to say any such thing.
