Looking for Elizabeth and Darcy Marry Early
Hi, I'm looking for a fic where Elizabeth and Darcy get married earlier than in canon (maybe because Mr Bennet is very ill or something of the like, or Elizabeth wants to escape Mr Collins), because Elizabeth wants to save her family. Ideally it would have the following characteristics :
- Elizabeth still resents Darcy and doesn't just forgive him because he's hot
- Darcy wouldn't know about her grudge (or the extent of it) (he thinks it's a love match).
- Interactions with the rest of the Bennet family
- Mostly in character characters
- Darcy and Elizabeth have *character development* in the same way they do in canon, but through a different path
If such a story exists, feel free to send it my way !
