Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy have disliked each other almost from the moment they met at the Meryton Assembly. But what if each experienced the other's world by literally walking in their shoes? Pride, presumption, and pandemonium ensue as each learns the nuances of each other's lives.

Gentle Reader, What if Elizabeth Bennet married Mr. Collins after he falls ill during his visit at Longbourn and is widowed by him? How might Darcy react to her as a widow? And what does a small yellow dog have to do with any of this? Read on for more. I love feedback! Let me know what works (or what doesn't) here (nicely please). Thank you! GS

When Mr. Bennet falls gravely ill after the Netherfield Ball, Elizabeth sees only one way to ensure her family's home and happiness: betrothal to Mr. Collins. Will Mr. Darcy help Elizabeth see the error of her ways in time?

Elizabeth knows about enough Mr Darcy not to like him. Called to Netherfield to nurse Jane back to health, Elizabeth simply wants to return home to Longbourn. What she doesn't realize is that he is hopelessly besotted with her and his bad humor is a result trying—and losing—control over his emotions. A private encounter in the library changes all that.

Pemberley bustles on Christmas Eve as Elizabeth is expecting, snow is falling, and guests are descending for the Darcy's first Christmas Eve as husband and wife. Georgiana's plot to make love bloom between herself and a young man backfires as her present from Darcy, two orange kittens, wreck havoc on Pemberley Manor.

A continuation of the story, Christmas at Pemberley. Darcy and Elizabeth find being new parents to an infant more challenging than expected. Georgiana's infatuation with her neighbor, Adam Merriweather, is tested when Lady Catherine de Bourgh insists that she is presented at the royal court in spring. Note: Chapters are misnumbered.
