Every Savage Can Dance: A Pride and Prejudice Variation

Every Savage Can Dance is a romantic story of Elizabeth and Darcy, recommended for readers of all ages. It contains moderate angst, fast pacing, many unexpected turns of events, and some changes in several characters. It will reveal Elizabeth and Darcy slowly falling in love with each other and taking care of each other in a shared endeavour to solve difficult problems. Twists that appear along the road will induce them to act in ways a little bit out of character and out of decorum — which hopefully will please readers and put a smile on their faces.

The story begins in line with canon, with Mr Wickham’s arrival in Meryton. Unlike canon, though, Mr Wickham’s new employment in the regiment proves to be part of an elaborate plot that involves other characters and causes significant consequences.
Darcy decides to warn Mr Bennet and Colonel Forster about his nemesis’s true nature, but he is only partly believed. His life is put in danger, and he is found injured by Elizabeth and Mrs Bennet and taken to Longbourn. Fear for his health also brings Miss Darcy and Colonel Fitzwilliam to Hertfordshire, allowing the two families opportunities to mingle.
Darcy’s road to recovery is sprinkled with sweet interactions with Elizabeth, as well as with struggles to solve an enigma and thwart a conspiracy.
The Netherfield ball plays an important role in the story, though not in the way we are accustomed to.
And Mr Darcy will admit not only that he is deeply in love with Elizabeth and that she is his perfect match, but also that he adores dancing with her, on any occasion, even though he once called her tolerable and claimed every savage can dance.
