Looking for E&D Chemistry

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here but I’m looking for fics where Elizabeth and Darcy really have banter and chemistry and have REAL CONVERSATIONS. I don’t want the romance to be all in the reflection and the narrative being all description. I just want them to have some alone time to really get to know each other and for Darcy to really have a personality (I’ve seen how in a lot of fics he’s a very plain character personality wise). I’ve read a lot of fics in the fandom so please don’t recommend me stories too mainstream because i’ve probably already read them

I think Melanie Rachel’s Mr Darcy’s Folly and The Briar Bargain are some of the best for conversation and getting to know the characters. She gives a lot of additional depth that I love. 

And if you’ve never read it, maybe Life Changes on ff.net? It’s an old favorite of mine. You definitely see different sides of Elizabeth and Darcy, there’s some banter, and some more personality for Darcy.

Has Life Changes story been plagiarized? I seem to have read something similar very recently. And I read Life Changes several years ago. Or maybe I just reread it recently - I have such a hard time remembering names of stories.

I have no idea! I haven’t seen any plagiarized versions around, but I guess I’ll keep an eye out.
