Bingley with more backbone?

I'm looking for canon-divergent stories, where Bingley isn't persuaded by Darcy and Caroline to remain in London; with one of these two basic premises:

  1. Focus on Bingley and Jane; how their story develops once he returns (probably alone) to Hertfordshire with some new drama, of course, but nothing to do with Bingley being easily influenced.
  2. Focus on Darcy and Elizabeth; how their story develops now that the Bingleys have married early. Perhaps Elizabeth goes to live with/visit the Bingleys.

I wouldn't mind some drama between Darcy and Bingley.

What are "hidden gems" of P&P fanfiction not rarely discussed, but deserving of more attention?

Could be anywhere and in any format: AHA, Kindle/KU, AO3, FF.NET, etc.

I tried reading some variations, but I can't seem to find many that satisfy me. Of course, I'm well-aware that nothing could match canon, but something like Unequal Affections is totally fine (while I do have some complaints with the way Elizabeth is portrayed, it's overall a great attempt). But then I tried reading Abigail Reynolds and was super disappointed... Are there any hidden gems with great characterization and good, slow pacing that don't rush them together in the first 50 pages and then spend the next portion of the story on smut?
