An alternate imagining of Mrs. Gaskell's story, assuming Margaret had been hurt more seriously on the day of the riot. Intertwines elements of both the book and the BBC series, but focuses less on angst and more on the relationship of John and Margaret. Disclaimer: I do not own these characters, but am only presuming to borrow them for a while.

So the title is self-explanatory. The story is about our two favourite people falling in love.

What if Darcy stole a kiss when he deposited the letter that morning? Mr. Collins discovers them. Elizabeth has not yet read the letter. How will she react? Will he walk away, like she expects him to? This is only a PREVIEW OF THE BOOK. It has been removed for publication (but kept here as proof of copyright). All rights reserved.

What if Margaret Hale was less prejudiced against Milton in general and the Thorntons in particular? What if she was less proud and more friendly?

The classic twist of Mr. Bennet dies, Darcy offers a marriage of protection, and he and Elizabeth must work through their pride and prejudices without being able to escape one another.
