I just re-read the whole story, and enjoyed it immensely. Thanks again for returning and giving us a real ending, Jessica! It was quite a surprise to see
Excessively Attentive reach an ending eighteen years after it began, but it's a real gift to the JAFF community that you stuck to your guns until you completed it.
It's particularly nice because this story has such an unusual premise. I've read multiple stories in which Elizabeth is a lost Fitzwilliam (and sometimes Jane along with her) but can't think of another in which she's a lost de Bourgh. That twist is particularly nifty because it allows Lady Catherine to occupy a maternal role for Elizabeth. It's refreshing to read a story in which she's Elizabeth's determined advocate instead of a stuffy antagonist.
Kudos!
