Fire Lord Darcy

[sqbr]

A train of thought:

*reads Fruits Basket meta*

People hate Rin? Oh, of course they do. She's like Mai from Avatar the Last Airbender.

Man, I love het(*) relationships where they express their love through snark etc and are all understated and emotionally repressed. Fangirls seem to hate the girls in them though. Hmm. What are some other examples?

Huh! I guess Elizabeth/Darcy sort of is. NOONE writes it that way in fic though.

You know, if P&P was an ensemble story not from focussing so much on Elizabeth's POV I bet everyone would ship Darcy/Jane or Darcy/Bingley and HATE Elizabeth.

Hmm. An Avatar the Last Airbender/Pride and Prejudice crossover could be interesting. But not a crappy regency romance AU...

OMG. Elizabeth is a Ninja! Darcy can shoot fire from his hands! YES.

(*)Possibly also femslash? But I can't think of any.

I WOULD READ THAT A:TLA/P&P CROSSOVER SO FUCKING HARD I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS

[sqbr]

Me too :)

...but P&P isn't written from E's POV.

It's not in the first person, no, but at least to me it feels like she's the character we're meant to empathise with and mostly view the story through the eyes of.

That is the best thing I have read all day.

It's a very happy-fying idea isn't it? :)

Mulder/Scully and Ron/Hermione.

[sqbr]

Ron and Hermione are many things, but understated is not one of them :D

Scully and Mulder are more like it, though.

[ardhra]

2 out of 3 (snarky, repressed)

[sqbr]

Yeah...I don't know. I think I haven't managed to express the nature of the relationships I like properly.

Also possibly G(a)linda/Elphaba.

I've always been sad I couldn't get into Wicked, it sounds wonderfully femslashy :)

You are so cracked in the head. I'm glad you're on my reading list :p

[sqbr]

I shall take that as a compliment :D

[pseudo_tsuga]

I'm so glad I never got into Fruits Basket fandom. The explosion after the revelation that Akito was [spoiler] was enough to convince me.

[sqbr]

Yeah, reading about that was what inspired this post.
