Summary
This is a reworking of my largest story to date, namely "Above and Beyond the Horizon." After several years on this platform, I have learned a lot, and I wanted to make that story easier to read. While I think that the bones of it were good, it needed a ruthless edit (and to have the tags and continuity fixed!). If you have read the original story, and would like to give feedback, I would be happy to hear from you. If you have not read that story, I think you should stick to this one, as it's about half the size!
In short, Mr. Darcy is rude to Charlotte instead of Elizabeth at the Netherfield ball. What he doesn't realise is that these two friends have had a falling out, and that Lizzie's reaction to his words make things a lot worse rather than better. Over the course of the story, it becomes clear that some long-overdue changes need to happen...and that some of our characters rise to the challenge of those changes much better than others do.
