*Updated to correct issuesDarcy and Elizabeth meet at Pemberley months after the disastrous proposal in Kent. A frank conversation and several apologies lead to the couple getting engaged much sooner than in canon.After Kent, Darcy had confessed all to his cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam, including Wickham's presence in the militia in Meryton. Fitzwilliam keeps an eye on Wickham and prevents the elopement, meaning that Elizabeth's stay in Derbyshire is not interrupted. That does not keep Wickham from creating problems for the couple, even after Wickham is tried for desertion. Mr. Bennet is unhappy about the engagement and Jane is... too easily led by those who do not have her best interests at heart. Mrs. Bennet and Lydia are foolish and remain so.This story follows what might have happened had Darcy and Elizabeth gotten engaged at Pemberley and Lydia did not run away.
