Such Persuasions as These: A Pride and Prejudice Variation by Emilia Stratford
EVERYONE IN MERYTON KNOWS of Elizabeth Bennet’s peculiar betrothal with Captain Frederick Wentworth. Elizabeth has relished the uncommon engagement that was the result of childhood silliness, using it to ward off undesired suitors.

WHEN FITZWILLIAM DARCY arrives in Hertfordshire, it is clear the proud, unpleasant gentleman is in dire need of Elizabeth’s help. To help put him at ease, and encourage him to accept her friendship, she tells him she is spoken for and thus can have no designs on him. As circumstances—and Darcy’s unwitting comfort in Elizabeth’s company—throw them together, however, she glimpses a side of him hidden from the world—his quiet generosity, self-deprecating humour, and deep sense of honour. Soon recognizing that she is falling in love with Mr Darcy, she regrets ever having spoken of Frederick.

WHEN THE DASHING CAPTAIN WENTWORTH arrives at Netherfield Park, Darcy and Elizabeth are both unprepared for the revelations that come to light. Can they be persuaded to overcome their fears and tear down their walls to claim the love they both long for? Or will guilt and the pain of past betrayals keep them apart forever?

Such Persuasions as These is a Pride and Prejudice Variation with just a splash of Persuasion. It is a friends to lovers romance. Content is closed door and angst is moderate.
