Adult Content: Not Canon. Revised. This story may contain triggers for sensitive individuals. In this story, Fitzwilliam Darcy is a twenty-six-year-old gentleman accustomed to control and command who views the world through a lens of entitlement. He sees Miss Elizabeth Bennet as his ideal match and removes any obstacle blocking his marriage plans. Elizabeth, a sheltered eighteen-year-old with limited social exposure, finds Darcy a perplexing enigma. His stern demeanor, rigid posture, and sparse conversation confuse her. Yet, despite his serious nature, she admires his striking features and intelligence, and she thinks about him more often than she should. Will Richard's playful flirtations with two ladies at the vicarage become a problem? Will Darcy's jealousy ignite into fury? Can Darcy win Elizabeth's heart? Will Richard be a help or a hindrance?
