In this variation, Darcy and Elizabeth are much easier with each other, Darcy apologies for the insult.
He develops a real friendship with Mr Bennet.
Bingley overhears Mrs Bennet talking to Jane about advantageous marriages and becomes more cautious about Jane.
Wickham notices Darcy's interest in the Bennet family but assumes he favours Jane.
He seeks to exploit that and Jane lets him, having lost all confidence after Bingley leaves.
She feels the weight of the expectation that she must marry well, to save her family.
Unfortunately, all this results in Jane, demonstrating behaviour worthy of Kitty or Lydia! Picking fights with Elizabeth and risky, reputation-threatening assignations!
When Darcy returns to Meryton, a contretemps between his horse and Elizabeth's dog, Smooch leads to injuries requiring a stay at Longbourn.
Elizabeth cares for him and they become close. They try to resolve Jane's issues, thwart Wickham and fend off Lady Catherine de Bourgh!
Enjoyable read!.
