In Essentials (Much As It Ever Was) by Vangie (G)

Fandom: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
Pairing: Elizabeth/Darcy
Length: novel-length
Author on LJ: N/A
Author Website: Derbyshire Writer's Guild
Why this must be read:

This ‘what if’ story takes one of Miss Austen’s lines and cleverly twists it to fashion an entirely new scenario. In this parallel tale, when the Netherfield party meets the populace at the Meryton Assembly, not all of its members are strangers to one of the Bennet sisters. The story follows the same progression as the original novel, with slight but profound differences. Elizabeth is still impertinent and vivacious, but she’s also a little less sure of herself. Darcy is as inscrutable and smitten as ever. Prepare yourself for love! misunderstandings! heartache! mad carriage rides to London! events entirely out of order and inside out! and, finally, the happy dénouement.
