The Rake of Rosings: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

The fastest way to change a man's life is to make him stop moving. Fitzwilliam Darcy has a reputation he has spent a decade earning and never once had reason to reconsider. When an early morning duel leaves him wounded and in need of somewhere quiet to recover, he finds himself at his aunt's estate in Kent, confined to a sickroom, and face to face with Elizabeth Bennet: a visiting gentleman's daughter with a steady hand, no interest in his consequence, and a habit of adjusting the curtains before she introduces herself.
She came to Kent to visit her dearest friend.
