Why this must be read:

I tend to think of stories like this one as sequels, even though technically they aren’t. Engagement fics actually occur within the bounds of the novel, which makes them more like ‘missing scene’ fics in film or television fandoms. Mr Darcy Steals a Kiss is a playful look at Lizzy and Darcy’s pre-wedding courtship. Kerry writes witty banter between our hero and heroine, as Darcy devises a cheeky plot in order to finally kiss his fiancée, with some unfortunate (though amusing) consequences for himself and Lizzy. There’s a wedding and a wedding breakfast and then a wedding night. Well, you get the idea. Hijinks ensue. All I will say is: poor Jane.
