The Flight of Elizabeth Bennet: Pride and Prejudice Variations

Elizabeth Bennet is running from an unwanted engagement.
Mr. Darcy is running from his desire for Elizabeth.

Elizabeth flees her home to avoid a fate worse than death, but rushing into the unknown is terrifying. She has little money and few options to evade those searching for her.

When Mr. Darcy fled Meryton for London to escape his attraction to the lovely and lively Elizabeth Bennet, he had no idea that he would cross paths with her so soon. He is shocked to find her in such a state. Though Darcy might not be able to marry Elizabeth, he feels honor-bound to keep her safe, and he has a plan to avoid besmirching her reputation in any way.

As the weeks pass, Darcy and Elizabeth draw closer together, but neither wishes to unduly pressure the other by speaking plainly of their feelings. Can Mr. Bennet’s schemes, Mr. Wickham’s villainy, and Lady Catherine’s dogged resolve force them to acknowledge their shared love?
