I've been waiting for this story to be updated so I could rec it. I fear it might have been abandaned but, it feels like the story is in a place where all that's missing is an epilogue, so the reader isn't left hanging biting their nails. I shall hence rec it as is. It's one of my favorite Darcy stories and it would be a shame to miss out on 50k words of pure entertainment because of the WIP factor. I really like how the writer developed Darcy's character.

Let's make it a theme: WIP day.
Here's a Bourne fic which is a series of missing moments. The characterization is so compelling, the scenes really add something new. So far two parts are posted and I'm looking forward to more. Each part can be read on its own.

Another Bourne Legacy fic, set post-movie, which I read last night and enjoyed a lot. It's got a great flow and I really hope it's going to be updated because the plot is just gaining speed.
