    Summary

    Anne de Bourgh decides that she will never marry, and enlists the help of the Earl of Matlock to find her closest relations on her father's side. The Bennets of Longbourn sound respectable enough, and when Anne asks for help in making an introduction and, perhaps, even choosing the heir of Rosings from amongst them, the Fitzilliam family insist on helping her. Anne might yet regret asking.

    Alternatively: what if Darcy's embarrassing relations did not stop at Lady Catherine?

    (Eventual E/D, other pairings to be decided.)

    Summary

    1984 is a brilliant masterpiece of a cautionary tale,” Darcy continues. “It examines totalitarianism government through—”

    Lizzy fakes a yawn. Darcy’s tone, if possible, becomes more pompous.

    “You wouldn’t understand. I bet you only like romance books.”

    “I was just teasing,” she says. “And for the record, I read dystopian novels, too.”

    The Hunger Games doesn’t count.”

    immovable object (pretentious dumbass) meets unstoppable force (petty bitch)

    or, the pride & prejudice modern retelling / boarding school au that literally nobody asked for but i wrote anyway
