Darcy does not accompany Bingley to Netherfield. Therefore, he does not meet Elizabeth until his first trip to Rosings, resulting in some major changes to the way their relationship develops.

Fifteen-year-old Lizzy Bennet is newly out in society when an unfortunate accident lands her in a marriage with a man who is even older than her father. This story is about how she adapts to her life as mistress of a large estate and explores how people who seem to have nothing in common can learn to adapt and appreciate one another. (FD and EB HEA don't ask how, just trust me).

One week after the Netherfield Ball, Lizzy receives a letter from Georgiana Darcy informing her that Mr. Darcy is gravely ill and asking for her to come to London to be with him.
