    Summary

    Charles Bingley takes residence of Netherfield Park for one reason: to give his friend Darcy a peaceful sanctuary after a brutal year. After Wickham’s scheme was revealed, Georgiana’s attempted suicide left her crippled and comatose. Darcy, blaming himself, fell into self-destructive despair that even his closest friend could not break through. It is only when Darcy is alone in the countryside near Meryton that he finds a reason to hope: a beautiful young woman, walking alone, who he deliriously thinks is an angel. D/N, J/B - Trigger warning, discussion of suicide, depression and alcohol abuse.

    Summary

    When Netherfield Park is let to Mr. Bingley, the Bennets are amazed by his companion: an impoverished, handsome gentleman, whose fall from wealth has made him notorious. The local gentry are loathe to accept him as an equal, especially when his manners leave much to be desired. Only Elizabeth Bennet tolerates him, curious about the mystery behind his ruin: something about it doesn’t quite add up, and she suspects there is more to Mr. Darcy than meets the eye. E/D, J/B
