Darcy’s Notice

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

She was tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt him.

Elizabeth Bennet knew exactly what Mr. Darcy thought of her. She heard him say it at the Meryton assembly, and she had no interest in changing his mind.

But someone else noticed the way his eyes followed her across crowded rooms.

Caroline Bingley had a plan to secure Mr. Darcy for herself, and it involved befriending Elizabeth with one goal in mind. She would highlight every unpolished, unsuitable quality that made Elizabeth Bennet all wrong for a man of Mr. Darcy’s standing.

The only problem? Some men don't want perfection. Some men want something real.
