Pride and Prejudice AU where Darcy and Lizzie are both girls, Lizzie is an lgbtqiap activist while Darcy’s family is extremely conservative and homophobic. Funnily enough, it’s still called Pride and Prejudice.

Someone needs to make this a YouTube series.

JANE AND BINGLEY ARE GIRLS TOO.  (Caroline Bingley is a boy.)  So Lizzie is super super pissed that Darcy talked her best friend into going back in the closet and breaking Jane’s heart.

I almost like it better if Bingley’s still a boy because the thing that I’ve always liked (as a story thing, not as an “I approve of this belief” thing) is that Darcy had no particular problem with JANE (other than not being sure Jane loved Bingley), his problem with Jane was her FAMILY.

Which: he has a point. Jane and Lizzie’s family are pretty badly behaved and kind of rude and imagine having Mrs Bennet for a mother in law for your entire life?

Darcy’s objections to Jane as a match were all behaviour-based via her family; it’s Lady Catherine’s to Lizzie that were based in What She Was.

(And the Bennets actually translate just fine all by themselves: Mr Bennet is an acidic old tenured prof or something, Mrs Bennet is SUPER INAPPROPRIATE HIPPY WOMAN who sees no problem with Kitty and Lydia wandering around half-dressed/etc because it’s all NATURAL dear oh poo don’t be so stuffy, while Mary’s an irritating born-again who lectures everyone about sin.)
