This is well rewritten and I think it shows a realistic picture of how things could have gone. Lizzy and James are a nice couple, some of their scenes are very sweet, and if I knew them in real life I would be very happy for them. But, I’m sorry that Lizzy and Darcy will never have the opportunity to grow and change, because of the challenges and misunderstandings they face in the original, and finally come together. I guess I didn’t get as invested in Lizzy and James because their courtship went so smoothly. I didn’t have reason to wonder, hope, and root for them. It’s also realistic that Darcy and Bingley aren’t as close but it makes me kind of sad.
Thanks for posting this I look forward to the epilogue.
