Pride and Prejudice / Pacific Rim AU

inspired by [x]

POSSIBLY THE BEST CROSSOVER I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE

BECAUSE ELIZABETH WOULD BE SO NOT INTO IT AND RELUCTANT TO TRY AND DRIFT WITH DARCY BECAUSE HE’S SUCH AN ASS HE’S SO HAUGHTY HE’S SUCH A FUCKING SNOB AND SHE HEARD HIM SAY THAT SHE’D BE AN INTOLERABLE DRIFT PARTNER SO FUCK HIM

BUT THEY SPARRED (DANCED OHMYGOD) AND THEY MOVED TOGETHER SO FLUIDLY AND SHE DID FEEL IT BUT SHE DOESN’T LIKE HIM!!! SHE CAN’T SHARE HER HEAD WITH A DUDE THAT MAKES HER SO FURIOUS

BUT HE TRAILS AFTER HER LIKE A FUCKIN PUPPY AND IS SUDDENLY ALL NICE AND TRIES TO DEFEND HIMSELF LIKE “I FIND IT HARD TO ATTEMPT LOOKING FOR DRIFT COMPATIBILITY IN OTHERS” AND ELIZABETH’S LIKE “WELL YOU SHOULD FUCKIN PRACTICE”

GIVE IT TO ME

little (100% canon) things i love about the end of pride & prejudice that don’t usually make adaptations:

  • Lizzy offers to burn The Letter because Darcy’s embarrassed about how bitter he probably sounded when he wrote it
  • Darcy tells Lizzy that he told Bingley he was wrong about how Jane felt. Lizzy (parphr): “Did you decide that for yourself or were you just going off what I told you at Hunsford?” Darcy, the stubbornest nerd: “No, I figured it out for myself” Lizzy, sarcastically: “okay, Darcy”
  • When Lizzy tells Jane she’s in love with Darcy, Jane asks her if she’s joking six times
  • Next day: Darcy and Bingley show up at the house. Mrs Bennet’s upset that Bingley always brings Darcy. To get rid of him, she tells Kitty and Lizzy to take him on a walk. Bingley: “Kitty looks sick. Maybe Lizzy and Darcy should go…….. by themselves” Mrs Bennet: “I’m sorry Lizzy you must find a way to survive this” Lizzy, sarcastically: “Oh nooooooo”
  •  Direct quote, Mr. Bennet on Darcy saving Lydia: “It will save me a world of trouble and economy. Had it been your uncle’s doing, I must and would have paid him; but these violent young lovers carry every thing their own way. I shall offer to pay [Darcy] to-morrow; he will rant and storm about his love for you, and there will be an end of the matter.”
  • Lizzy writes a friendly, clever letter to her aunt and uncle that’s included in the text, the next line is “Darcy’s letter to Lady Catherine was in a different style”. The text of Darcy’s letter is omitted
  • Jane and Bingley move in next door to Lizzy and Darcy
