This is the JAFF I’ve wanted to see. Darcy is always so tortured by indecision, then heartbreak, while Elizabeth is oblivious, upset a brief time over her prejudice, and then only wants to remember the good in most basic P & P premises. I enjoyed seeing her realize he’d make her happy, that she wanted to marry him, that she was unnecessarily harsh in rejecting his proposal. It was wonderful to see her yearning for him and not knowing if she’d get a second chance.

This P&P variation starts after the visit of lady Catherine to Longbourn, and Jane and Bingley are betrothed. But Darcy has not returned, yet. Various obstacles occur to the happy ending for Darcy and Elizabeth.
An enjoyable story though I would have liked more villains to balance the sweetness.
(The epilogue mentioning Mary's marriage to yet another vicar was not necessary.)
