Elizabeth's War

A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Some battles are fought long after the war ends.

Two years after losing her husband at Waterloo, Elizabeth Bennet has built a life of quiet dignity from the ashes of tragedy. She needs no one's pity and no one's charity—until a mysterious gentleman's act of kindness forces her to confront both her fierce independence and her growing loneliness.

Fitzwilliam Darcy returned from Belgium haunted by survivor's guilt and searching for meaning in his continued existence. In Elizabeth and her young son, he finds purpose—but his desire to protect threatens to destroy the very thing he hopes to win.

A Pride and Prejudice variation about healing from trauma, the courage to trust again, and discovering that true partnership is built not on rescue, but on recognizing each other's strength.
