    Summary

    With his friend's spirits being very low recently, Charles Bingley decides to invite Darcy along to his newly rented estate in Hertfordshire. But on the first evening there, Darcy, normally intent to keep up appearances, already gives offence to the people of Meryton and one Elizabeth Bennet in particular. Soon, however, she discovers that there is more to the man and that he carries a dark secret that could well destroy his family should it come to light.

    Summary

    What if Collins was more vile? Lady Catherine crazy (more crazy...?)?The Gardiners better connected in friendship? What's this? A ridiculous romp of farfetchdness. Readers beware, characters will act out of cannon and rational facts will be suspended for this retelling.

    Personal goal- use what's this?/what is this? somewhere in every chapter

    Summary

    Presenting a "what if" Darcy had autism variation.

    Darcy knows that he is fundamentally different than other people, but doesn't have a name for what is wrong with him, which has him doubting his own self-worth. Darcy has let others control his life for far too long as he tried to hide his secret to prevent disgracing the Darcy name. However, after meeting Elizabeth he longs for something more and finally has the impetus to be his own man. Aided by Bingley and Georgiana, Darcy must overcome the opposition of Edwin (the Colonel) and Lady C. who wish to see him matched with Anne and address his own fear to pursue the woman he loves. Darcy isn't sure if Elizabeth can love him as he is, but ultimately he must be honest with her to gain his HEA. Told from Darcy's POV. Fully revised; part I of III.
