#because i want darcy to be butch

(Queer) Pride and Prejudice || Chapter One

I am going to rewrite the entirety of Pride and Prejudice to be lesbian (and otherwise queer). Let's be real, we need a butch Darcy. Yes, I am a dyke, and yes, I am a literature major. Who else would write this fanfiction.

I know this may have been done before many times, but I have not personally been a reader of any of these, so any commonalities will be coincidental and all props go to those writers. Get ready, this is going to be a wild ride.

Chapter One: The Bennets Discuss a Hot New Bachelorette in Town

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of a good fortune (and a costly, designer backpack), must be in want of a wife. 

However little known the feelings or views of such a woman may be on her first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that she is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. 

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” said his lady to him one day, “have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?” 

Mr. Bennet replied that he had not.  

“But it is,” returned she; “for Mrs. Longfinger has just been here, and she told me all about it.”  

Mr. Bennet made no answer.  

“Do you not want to know who has taken it?” cried his wife impatiently. For a fleeting moment, her mind was overcome with memories of her butch fling as a youth vacationing in Paris. Indeed, Bella had been a responsive conversationalist. Mr. Bennet, on the other hand…

“You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.” 

This was invitation enough. 

“Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Longfinger says that Netherfield is taken by a young woman of large fortune from the north of England; that she came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, that she agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that she is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of her servants are to be in the house by the end of next week.” 

“What is her name?” 

“Bingley.” 

“Is she married or single?” 

“Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single woman of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!”  

“How so? How can it affect them?” 

“My dear Mr. Bennet,” replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of her marrying one of them.”  

“Is that her design in settling here?” 

“Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that she may fall in love with one of them, in which case they shall undoubtedly be married within the month, and therefore you must visit her as soon as she comes.” 

“I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Ms. Bingley may like you the best of the party if she’s of the Paulman disposition.” 

“My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty.” 

“In such cases, a woman has not often much beauty to think of.” 

“But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Ms. Bingley when she comes into the neighbourhood.” 

“It is more than I engage for, I assure you.” 

“But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go, merely on that account, for in general, you know, they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit her if you do not.” 

“You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Ms. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure her of my hearty consent to her quickly marrying whichever she chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lezzie.” 

“I desire you will do no such thing. Lezzie is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humoured as Lydia; only her nickname suggests any remote sense of humour. Though it’s a tad on the nose. But you are always giving her the preference.” 

“They have none of them much to recommend them,” replied he; “they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lezzie has something more of quickness than her sisters.” 

“Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me. You have no compassion for my poor nerves.”

“You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these last twenty years at least.” 

“Ah, you do not know what I suffer.” 

“But I hope you will get over it, and live to see many young, strong women of four thousand a year come into the neighbourhood.” 

“It will be no use to us, if twenty such should come, since you will not visit them.” 

“Depend upon it, my dear, that when there are twenty, I will visit them all.” 

Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three-and-twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied herself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news.

AU where Claire was raised by Morgana?

Instead of making a new AU, I would like to introduce you to Fontaine de Morgan, aka my version of Claire who's part fairy and was raised by Morgana. She can be found in my fic A Faux it Was (She Shook Afraid) as well as the various stuff in this tag.

Also, because there are three different versions of this AU, I'm gonna go about it like this: 1-2 Trollhunter!Darci (Determinant AU, not de Morgan’s Law), 3-4 Trollhunter!female!Jim, 5-6 Trollhunter!Fontaine. Whichever two I don’t roll will be available for others to ask about if they want.

That's a four, so we're going with Trollhunter!female!Jim version of this AU. In order to be less wordy, female!Jim in this verse is called Jennifer "Jen" Lake.

In 2008, it came to Morgana's attention that there was a little girl who had both fairy blood and the capacity to be a powerful wizard. Morgana decided to have her changelings kidnap the little girl and bring her to the cave by the Black Sea.

Morgana wiped the little girl’s memories, telling her that she had been abandoned. Morgana would now take care of the little girl and make her her apprentice. Morgana’s apprentice did not get a name. Instead, she got a slow medical treatment that would, over the course of the next 16-30 years, transform the apprentice into a fairy.

When Jen picked up the amulet, Strickler didn’t see it in her bag, and Bular didn’t know who it was beyond a human teenager. Given the direction she came from, however, Bular suspected she came from Arcadia Oaks High.

Morgana sent her apprentice back to the town she was kidnapped from to spy on the trollhunter. Morgana does not give her apprentice back her old identity, but rather a new name: Fontaine de Morgan, Strickler’s newly-orphaned niece who was homeschooled since she was eight. By this point in time, Fontaine has back pain and an allergy to iron.

Strickler find out that Jen is the trollhunter and forbids Fontaine from immediately killing her. Strickler mentions that a member of the city council has been lobbying for laws to keep children from going missing, and he does not want to deal with the scrutiny if he doesn’t have to. Fontaine grumbles about this. Strickler does not mention that City Councillor Ophelia Nuñez is doing this to cope with the loss of her daughter.

Jen did not try out for Romeo, and Eli got the part opposite Mary. However, not enough boys tried out, so Ms. Janeth put out a second round of casting calls in which this time, it was specified that all available roles were gender neutral. Jen got caught in armor, so she tried out for Mercutio. Strickler made Fontaine try out for Tybalt so she could keep an eye on Jen. Cue lots of homoerotic sparring, in which Fontaine is spying on Jen and learning Jen’s moves while Jen thinks they’re flirting. (Look, Jen is a simple butch who doesn’t know how to flirt with pretty girls.) During this, Jen finds out about Fontaine’s back “injury”.

Fontaine hangs out with Mary. There is something familiar about her. Too familiar.

Fontaine reveals herself to Jen, casting spells to try and harm Jen and Toby. Jen exploits Fontaine’s bad back so she and Toby can get away.

Killahead bridge happens. Fontaine is not there for the battle. The play happens. Fontaine gets a flashback of being friends with Mary when she was seven, and she begins to question if her entire life was a lie. She decides to try and find her parents.

Strickler summons Angor Rot. Morgana finds out that Fontaine now has conflicting loyalties, so she instructs Angor on creating a special poison: it will dramatically increase the fairy transformation, and the pain would kill Fontaine. Instead, Jen finds her as in A Faux it Was (She Shook Afraid).

The Big Ole Post Of My OCs!!

All of my OCs come from a cartoony fishing town in Maine called Slate Beach, in a world where supernatural creatures live alongside humans. Nobody is straight, everyone’s a dumbass, and the whole town will chase you out with pitchforks and fishing nets if you dare to be a bigot.

The Picrew I used to make them will be linked at the bottom.

Doris Lachlan (Main Character)

She’s an autistic bisexual demigirl who grew up with ableist and mildly homophobic parents- and she’ll kick your ass if you’re mean to her or her friends (not a joke, this girl means it). She touched a magic pearl that gave her the ability to breathe underwater at the cost of gaining a few scales here and there. She loves the ocean and wants to be a marine biologist. They like to be on their own or with their close friends, preferably messing around in the ocean. She has insecurity issues and can’t stop pining after every cute person she meets. A hopeless romantic for sure. But, they are dating Micheal, but who knows how that’ll go. She’s got blue eyes, brown hair, and tan skin with a whole bunch of freckles. Pronouns are she/they.

I made a Spotify playlist for her, here it is.

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1k1o3u60vj63xKYvYgkmvg?si=Po4iKT36SaaZG3gvFsJjeg

Darcy Morris (Master Of Bullshit)

She’s a butch lesbian (there are a LOT of lesbians among my OCs…. what a coincidence) and she’s a witch! Not the Harry Potter kind. She actually hates Harry Potter. Her spells require prep-work and take a long time to do, but she does own a few magic items she can use in a hurry. She’s a fiery woman who isn’t afraid to slap a bitch. She enjoys wearing cozy sweaters and watching the sun set on the dock. Her mom (also a witch) runs a butcher shop and her dad’s away at an oil rig, and she loves both of them. Her two brothers, Raven and Kieran, are also witches, and their pranks usually involve magic. She has short black hair, purple eyes, and very pale skin. She’s usually either blushing at her girlfriend Ellie, or she’s horribly sunburnt. She wants to open a shop of her own when she’s older, but she may end up inheriting the butcher shop. She’s fine with either option. Pronouns are she/her.

Ellie Russo (Done With Darcys BS)

A lesbian who isn’t taking any bullshit, Ellie is half-human, half-harpy. Her arms are covered in feathers, her fingers have claws, and she’s got sharp teeth. And yes, she’s got blue hair and pronouns. Though, the blue hair is actually natural. You know why golden dart frogs have bright colors? Yeah, she’s poisonous. The bright colors are a warning. But, she’s really a sweetheart, just absolutely done with humanity. Is definitely the type to say “calm down, children” to a group of adults arguing. Her parents are very loving, but the struggles society places on her family made it so that they could never marry. So, they decided to circumvent the law and share custody of Ellie. Her mom’s a harpy, her dad’s just Italian. Her parents are those confused allies at Pride that are there for their kids. Definitely best friends with Emma’s parents. They spoil her girlfriend Darcy whenever she comes to visit. Pronouns are she/her.

Michael (Desperately Needs Love)

He’s a (literal) fallen angel, and BOY does he have some words to say to his mom. After being kicked out of the super-secret angel kingdom by his mom because he was embarrassing, he’s been trying to find a way to get back up there and give her a piece of his mind. If you wanna envision this, his mom is just a Karen. Blonde, same haircut, definitely the “can I speak to your manager” type. But with a fuck load of power and an ego the size of Alaska. His dad is absolutely terrified of her. The human forms of angels are random, and genetics don’t really play a role. It’s a mix of completely randomized traits, and you’re considered lucky if you look somewhat normal. (There’s an angel that can never take human form bc her human form literally doesn’t have a heart or lungs). Michael’s one of the lucky ones in that regard. Despite their normal appearance, Michael’s right wing doesn’t work properly and so he can’t fly very far. When he takes a fully human form (without wings), there’s a big scar on his right arm to mark the difference. Parents aside, he loves building things, sports, and cheating at cards. He also loves his girlfriend, Doris. They bond over having shitty parents and devising new ways to inconvenience them. Though Doris is secretly planning a raid with Darcy, Ellie, and Emma to absolutely destroy his mom. He doesn’t really care about human labels, but he likes all genders. They really don’t care about pronouns, but prefer he/they.

Emma Lewis (The Artist)

Another lesbian (help me I can’t stop making lesbians), a total sweetheart, and just as much a hopeless romantic as Doris, she’s actually completely human! A shocker considering my penchant for making people with odd powers. She’s an artist, and she’s very good at painting and cake decorating. She works in Claire’s bakery as a cake decorator (and is paid very nicely for a teenager) while saving money for college to become a doctor. She loves helping people, and her parents are doctors as well. They work together in a children’s hospital in the nearest city. They’re the same type of enthusiastic ally as Ellie’s parents, and the two couples have known each other for years. She’s Mayor Lewis’ niece and the whole family is close-knit and supportive. She’s the one to round up Doris, Darcy, Ellie, and Micheal to help Mayor Lewis find her sister’s mom to tell her about her sister’s new baby- despite the mom being a sea nymph that lives in the middle of the ocean, she’s still part of the family and should be treated as such. (Can’t you see, I’m projecting because of all these families that totally accept their child being a lesbian). Pronouns are she/her.

Claire Lachlan (Dumbass)

Second-to-last lesbian, I promise! She owns a bakery, has a small sailboat, and generally radiates positive vibes. Her favorite thing to do is sit outside in the sun with her best friends and chat. She’s friends with Darcy’s parents, Ellie’s parents, and almost all of Emma’s family. It’s only natural that Doris would befriend Darcy, Ellie, and Emma, then. Her bakery is a gathering point for people looking for a quiet spot to chill, kids who are off from school, and fishermen coming back from the ocean. She’s Doris’ cousin, though she’s 29 and Doris is 15. In fact, Ellie, Darcy, Michael, Doris, and Emma are all 15. Her favorite things to bake are scones and apple pie. She enjoys watching people fail at baking, before trying to help them and show them where they went wrong. It’s the simple things in life that matter, huh. Pronouns are she/her.

Mayor Lewis (Voice Of Reason)

The lesbian mayor of Slate Beach, Mayor Sophia Lewis is the oldest character of the bunch. She’s 56 and treats the town like family. Probably because she’s a Mom Friend. It’s a small town, she can find time to hang out with everyone. At least, that’s what she says. She’s single but not too unhappy about it, and has two golden retrievers named Lucy and Scout. She’s definitely not afraid of the pile of paperwork on the desk. She has a boat called the Argo and spends a lot of her free time on the water with friends and family. She definitely decks the old thing out in pride flags, year-round. Also puts Christmas lights on it in December as part of a ongoing challenge against the other towns in the area as to who can be the most festive. The red and green magic fireworks provided by Darcy sealed Slate Beach’s position as the most festive town. Her sister is half sea nymph, and Mayor Lewis took it upon herself to travel the ocean to inform her sister’s mom about her sister’s new baby. Mayor Lewis is human. It’s complicated, she says. She may be old, but she loves to mess around and have fun. Pronouns are she/her. Also, I couldn’t find a Picrew with both wrinkles and skin tones that weren’t just two different shades of white, so bear with Younger Sophia. She owned many a pair of pink glasses and earrings back in her heyday. pink. But hey, her friends were all wearing it and she isn’t immune to peer pressure. Trust me, she aged extremely well.

And here’s the Picrew I used for Mayor Lewis:

Here’s the Picrew I used for everyone else: https://picrew.me/share?cd=cH1BeFugtA

[the-moth-of-all-time]

Okay fuck it full system physical descriptions under the cut. Fair warning my system is pretty big.

Akvi: Imagine the like, default Xaela Au Ra if she was 9 years old. That’s legitimately exactly what she looks like.

Ashley: Xe looks like the nonbinary ship kid of Team Rocket from pokemon and I will never stop giving xyr shit for this.

Bella: Literally Just Loremaster From Helltaker. Describes herself as a “Thing,” capital T is important.

Darcie: Short girl with pink skin in a red sweater. She has black sclera, freaky 3 fingered velociraptor hands, and cute lil devil horns. Describes herself as a “creecher,” she and Bella seem to be the same “species” if that makes sense.

Dolly: Just a normal lady with short brown hair. She has horns tho because she’s “built different.” Her words not mine.

Eri: Nerd in a beret and a back sweater. Imagine the biggest, roundest, nerdiest glasses you can.

Hime: 6′10 glowing lady in a kimono.

Karina: cute lil 11-year-old redhead girl. Basically always has her pikachu plushie on hand if she can.

Liri: Ever played Warframe? She looks like Wisp.

Maeve: Literally just looks like Star Guardian Xayah from League of Legends.

Mary: Blonde lady with a ponytail and a cute vest and dress shirt. She’s basically always at her desk sipping some tea.

Meg: Either a cool goth with bleached white hair or a vaguely humanoid smoldering smoke monster, depends on her mood.

Noelle: white-haired femmeby in a black dress shirt. She only recently realized she’s one of those she/theys and we’re all very proud of her.

November: girl in a jacket with cool horns and cute dragonfly wings.

Riley: 17 year old harpy girl.

Patricia: Cool blonde knight lady. Butch in the “wants to rescue a princess” sense

Suha: pink-haired tough gal in a baseball cap.

VVitch: Ever seen The Owl House? Imagine if the Owlbeast was like, a lot bigger. Karina and Akvi like to sleep on VVitch’s back.

Winter: White-haired butch catgirl in a jean jacket. Butch in the “headbanging to Rise Against” sense

Wryn: Brunette in cute pigtails with ribbons. Her eyes are blue and I mean ENTIRELY blue, no pupils or anything.

[googlyowo]

literally fuck all of you /J i dont need an invitation to give you my toa queer headcanons (affectionate)

so lets go down the line :3

Jim - transmasc non-binary boy, likely proxivir (close to manhood but not exact), and bisexual, he/him they/them and fae/faer

Claire - demi-girl bisexual, she/her they/them and sometimes he/him

Toby - the token cis friend pansexual he/him

Steve - probably cis but questioning, bisexual, he/him trying out pronouns

Eli - binary transmasc boy, gay, possibly acearoflux, he/him

Aja - axera (agender and juxera, close to womanhood but not exact) pan acearoflux, she/her they/them + neopronouns I have yet to assign them

Krel - axvir (agender and proxivir), gay acearoflux, he/him they/them + neos he doesn't like to talk about and I have yet to assign him

Douxie - thanks to @princelirs I can only associate her as a non-binary butch lesbian who uses fluctuating pronouns and you can suck my toes about it

Zoe - fuck if they know. i think she just lets people guess because its funny, she/her and they/them

Darci - im so sorry darby shippers but she's a lesbian,,,, a he/him lesbian at that, his gender is complicated, also uses she/her

Mary - dude I literally don't know but she's probably cis unfortunately and maybe pansexual, she/her and they/them (yes cis people can use they/them)

Shanon - yeah she a femme lesbia, probably also cis but experimenting with gender a lil bit, she/her

Seamus - he's just a good ol fashioned cis gay or bisexual dude

Strickler - repressed bisexual with a preference for women, he's been alive long enough to not really give a rat's ass about gender, he/him

Nomura - a solid lesbian, perhaps non-binary possibly juxera or demi-girl, she/her they/them and it/its

Barbra - solid bisexual cis woman, probably doesn't have time to question her gender, she/her

Morgana - a whole lesbian, I literally can't get a read on its gender though definitely woman-aligned, she/her and it/its

Merlin - "stop swearing at me" "oh we use he/him for him, he doesn't really care tho"

all of the trolls have no concept of gender they just let you do what you want Blinky and AAARRRGGHH!!!! are gay, obviously the arcane order is a touchy subject so I'm not gonna mention them rn the aliens either don't have a concept of gender at all, or they have an entirely different concept from humans

I'm also gonna go over the ✨ polyques ✨: Jim, Claire and Toby are all in a polyque Steve is with Aja and Eli, Krel is with Eli and Seamus (qpr with Eli), and I think Aja is in a lil bit of a qpr with Jim for my ajim shippers <3 yeah Barbra can be with Strickler, but she has kind of an on-and-off thing with Nomura as well

that's literally all I can think of rn if there's anything specific you want you can just shoot me an ask or somethin idk dkjfgkjfdn

[all-chickens-are-trans]

#3 for the writing meme? Hope life's going alright!

3. What is that one scene that you’ve always wanted to write but can’t be arsed to write all of the set-up and context it would need? (consider this permission to write it and/or share it anyway)

hmm that one is difficult. I don't really have a to do list like that I think?? whatever crosses my mind at any given moment I either write almost immediately or I forget about forever 😅

well, maybe this: something I've dreamed about for a long long time is queering Jane Austen, and while I have several ideas for several books (Pride & Prejudice with lesbian Lizzie and Darcy, lesbian Emma Woodhouse with maybe trans woman Knightley, maybe even Mansfield Park with queerplatonic Fanny and Edmund and some polyamory thrown in there), my most favorite one is probably my Sense & Sensibility.

While the details on Elinor and Edward are still a bit fuzzy, I think she's intersex and he's a trans guy (and I would have to do a helluva lot research on both these things in this era, which is going to be immensely difficult for many reasons, but i still want it too much to give it up for simpler concepts). But I know 100% that Marianne is a lesbian who struggles with comp het, and Brandon is an older disabled butch who is kind of known as an old spinster and extremely eccentric, but she gets away with it because of how rich she is. Idk what it is about Brandon that gives me such immense sapphic energies, but it just feels right??!

I even started writing this last year, or at least I have a whole bunch of notes in my notes app on it, but I think it'll maybe never happen because it's too much research and i'm a lazy writer lol

[liara-shadowsong]

The last year or so keeps shitting on all my fanfic ideas LOL

So I have an idea for a Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess story I've literally been sitting on for at least five years no joke, but... You know how there's probably a bunch of dead parents? Link's apparently an orphan, whichever of Zelda's parents was the royal one is presumably not in the picture if she's getting coronated that young, Shad's dad is explicitly dead, Ilia's mom is nowhere to be seen... Logically there was likely either a war or an epidemic sometime semi-recently for this to happen. I decided to go with an influenza epidemic. Like three years ago in the plotting process. And now it's too enmeshed into the plot to swap for a war. RIP that story, unless I wait another five years before I write and post it. Not that anyone would read it anyways, that game is fourteen years old, and I don't think it ever generated much fanfic interest even though it's a great game. Also, I don't think cis-swaps are very popular any more, and I don't know how many people would want to read about a Link who's an autistic butch bi cis-woman. Or about hypothetical explorations of Gerudo culture in the context of that game. And I don't think Link/Shad is a very popular pairing. Nor do I think bringing in Ilia's mom as a character who's basically a cryptid swamp witch would go over that well.

I also had a fabulous idea for an MCU / Supernatural crossover. (It's not actually fabulous.) It would go AU after the original Avengers film and SPN season 5, so it's not like later events would actually matter, technically. But between Endgame and season 15, I rather suspect the two fandoms are dead, or at least going to be dormant awhile. May be not, though, Harry Potter fandom is still kicking. But you basically go "The almost apocalypse happened ten years ago, nobody's seen anyone who was there since, now some weird shit's happening and not all of its aliens, Loki showed up and he's acting fucky especially in the context that MCU Loki and SPN Loki are the same guy... Now fucking extrapolate wildly, okay?" It's actually garbage. But like, fun garbage. Except for the part where I don't actually know how popular the Thor franchise's supporting characters are, and they're... Kind of really important to the plot? I feel like fandom Darcy is mostly a vehicle to write het, instead of the awesome badass that she is? (And the Darcy in this story is definitely a lesbian.) And people just plain forget about her, or treat her as a background character, and her role in this one is, like, big. Also, I'm bad at writing romance, and the Thor/Jane pairing is kind of super important here, also. Because Reasons. No, like, actual plot reasons.

So yeah. I kind of want to dust off my writing skills during the long winter of being trapped indoors by plague, but I feel like what I have in mind would probably go over like a lead balloon. And I crave kudos if I'm going to undertake something that big. ??? Also, my ideas are weird and convoluted. Like, do y'all actually care what kind of crops they grow in Ordon Village other than pumpkins, or how they managed to throw together paperwork for Thor in like sixty seconds when he landed his ass in the hospital?

Pietro: Gryffindor, Halfblood. Was raised in muggle society, as he was abandoned by his Wizard father. Is always late in someway, so is always rushing around everywhere.

Gryffindor chaser. Patronus is a Fwooper.

Darcy: Gryffindor, muggleborn. The only person who has beaten Thor in a duel. She just tazered him halfway through. Is that one student that refuses to use quills because why would I when pens are much easier? Never wears robes, always wears muggle clothing. Sassiest at Hogwarts. Omni and proud. Doesn’t bother to learn to pronounce a single thing, which has resuled in a couple of incidents. Shamessly in love with the shy Ravenclaw boy, and is constantly flirting. Patronus is a Hedgehog.

Vision: Ravenclaw, muggleborn. Grew up in an orphanage with his older brother Ultron, his older sister Friday and his younger brother Dumme. All four are wizards however. Is not close at all with his siblings. Grew up without any real human connection, so is really bad at emotions. His friend Wanda is teaching him though. Is really bad at social cues. Has a thing for shiny things, especially gems and jewels. Patronus is a crow.

Scott: Hufflepuff, muggleborn. Accidentally shrunk himself in his first year, and no one will let him live it down. Got a good friend from the whole thing though. Is just a big fan of the wizarding world though, and admires everyone. A human puppy. Introduces himself to everyone, in hope of making friends. Really likes to look at and draw bugs. Has more than once used the Engorgement charm on bugs, just to get a better look at them. Patronus is a bumblebee.

Hope: Ravenclaw, pureblood. Made friends with the boy that shrunk himself, just to figure out how he did it. He somehow managed to rub off on her, and in her later years she is a lot more snarky and joking. She regrets it everyday, but it’s too late because that boy is now her boyfriend and she will protect him until the very end. Is often in the glasshouses studying rare insects. Ravenclaw prefect. Patronus is a wasp.

I decided to stop here, because I literally could have kept going for ages, but I didn’t want to do that. Maybe I will make a part two involving the Guardians and a couple of other faces, I can do whatever I want.

[janeaustentextposts]

Could I possibly get your advice on something? (Also please keep anonymous if anon doesn't work.) See, I've been writing a P&P fic where Darcy's a butch lesbian for a while now. For me this was essentially a fun writing/editing exercise - how little of the plot needs to change for Darcy to be a butch lesbian in the original time period? As such, the fic has ended up being literally 70% Jane Austen's own words, with the tense changed, some bits deleted, and a few added in. (Continued.)

Anyway, as I said, this was just a bit of fun. But unexpectedly it’s gained a bit of a readership. And despite my repeated reminders that I’m basically just editing the original text, people keep complimenting my writing in a way which makes me wonder if they realise just how much of the original text is presented as is. I’m not sure all of these people have read the original text and would therefore recognise it. On top of this … I did receive one comment implying that I shouldn’t bother to continue writing as it is so similar to the original and they were disappointed by the fic. Is it worth continuing this fic? People keep asking for more but I feel really embarrassed by it now, like it’s false advertising, even though I keep telling people it’s just the original text edited. It’s in the public domain so I don’t really care about that … I’m just embarrassed. What to do?

—

Keep writing it. If Seth Grahame-Smith can get a MOVIE deal for his stitched-together reworking of the text with zombies, I do not hesitate to insist that your variation has at LEAST equal merit (and very likely more.)Interactions with text and fandom are vast and varied, and your reworking sounds like a refreshing perspective on a much-loved dynamic and story. Austen fans will re-read the original novels countless times, and there are sequels upon sequels and almost as many retellings out there, both traditionally published and among fan works.If yours has gained a readership–there is a reason for that. If readers wished to re-read the original novel, it’s everywhere and nobody is stopping them. There is enough in your retelling which is original and interesting to draw an appreciative audience, and God knows queer representation in historical fiction (particuarly involving love stories which end happily,) is not something we can afford to pooh-pooh just yet. The market is so far from saturated it’s really more like that sponge in the back of the cleaning-cupboard that fell behind some other stuff and hasn’t been touched for five years. Which is to say–KEEP THE LESBIANS COMING. (So to speak.)

You received one comment, which, may I say…is not reasonable feedback.

You know what I do when I’m disappointed in something I’ve read? I close the tab and move on with my day. Unless there’s legitimate cause for particular outrage in some error, what possible purpose could such milquetoast criticism serve? You’ve been nothing but upfront about the structure of your retelling, and yet this person seems to have read the label on the tin which said SAUSAGE RAVIOLI and then opened it and now is stomping back to where they got it saying “How dare you sell me ravioli!? I want this business closed immediately!”

Call me paranoid after recent events on this blog, but my homophobe-senses are tingling, and it seems to me like perhaps someone who maybe isn’t entirely comfortable going the full Westboro still has enough of a bee in their bigot-bonnet to try and shut you down any way they can without quite coming out (you’ll pardon the term) and saying they want you to quit because they don’t want anything queer in their Austen.

You sound far too thoughtful in even your brief message to me here, anon, that I could imagine your version of P&P to be anything so slapdash as to be unenjoyable. People (plural) are longing for you to continue. One has been needlessly over-reactive to something which simply wasn’t for them.

You are not taking up anyone else’s space with your work (and it IS work, and it IS art. I’m no defender of the flaws in the text of P&P&Zombies but the worldbuilding is there, I don’t doubt it was a fond effort, and that means something.) You’re not holding anyone hostage, nor scribbling screeds of damaging text, nor wasting anybody’s time. You are creating your own part in something you love, using elements you’ve never seen incorporated before, and that is no small thing. Moreover, it moves readers to positive enthusiasm–likely because they’ve never seen such a thing before, either. I won’t say “you’d better finish your fic, because representation!” because it’s your own fic and your own choice and heavily pressuring fandom creators to create is never a healthy thing; and you already know all about representation’s importance, no doubt…but I will reassure you as many times as I need to that you and what you create with love for your fandom experience are entirely deserving of a seat at the table and having your story seen.

The place you are occupying already belongs to you, and it always did.

A Faux it Was (She Shook Afraid)

So, over a year later, I found my submission for Day 7: Woods/Water for @talesofarcadiafemslashweek​ in my drafts.

Title is vaguely from Hozier’s “In the Woods Somewhere” before I changed the lyrics to make a pun.

This takes place in an earlier version of my Determinant AU from back when Jim (known as Jennifer “Jen” Lake in this universe because this entire AU is based off a very sapphic dream I had) was still the Trollhunter instead of Darci. In addition, Claire was kidnapped by Morgana as a child and goes by the name Fontaine de Morgan (yes this is a reference to the OG book).

Warning: contains body horror and discussion of mercy-killing (no one dies).

FFN

Jen walked her bike through the woods near her house. While riding was faster, she was already sore from training and didn’t want to fall in the dark. Besides, something felt off tonight. She ran her hand through her short hair before making a fist and twirling the ends through her fingers; it was a nervous habit she had picked up back when she had realized she was butch and had cut her hair down to a pixie cut. She heard a pained scream, and she took off running as she summoned her armor.

She found her classmate curled into an awkward half-fetal position. Fontaine had a stab wound where her shoulder met her chest. She looked up towards Jen. Her brown eyes were filled with fear. She squeezed them shut and turned her head to expose her neck.

“Just do it fast,” Fontaine said with a tone of finality and helplessness. It took a moment for Jen to realize what the other girl was talking about.

“What? No! I’m not going to kill you,” Jen said. She dismissed her armor to prove it, leaned her bike against a tree, and then knelt down next to her. Fontaine opened her eyes.

“Why?” she asked. “Let’s face it, I’ve double-crossed you before.” She moved her injured shoulder about a centimeter and gasped in pain. Tears formed in her brown eyes, and she barely made an effort to blink them away.

“Yeah, well, I don’t want to make a habit of kicking people while they’re down, and the fact that you want me to mercy-kill you means that you’re in really bad shape and likely not to try and fireball my face off. What’s your parents’ number?”

Somehow Fontaine looked even more crestfallen. “I don’t have... no, that isn’t true. I don’t know who they are. That’s probably the reason why this happened.”

“Who would try stabbing you for something like that?” In addition to outrage, Jen couldn’t help but be worried. Was there someone trying to hurt people for being orphans or something? If so, then Toby could be in danger.

“Angor Rot.”

“Isn’t he supposed to be working with you? I’m gonna try to get to get you on your feet, sorry if it hurts.”

Fontaine gasped as she was lifted, but to her credit once she started to unfold her legs she was able to push herself into a standing position. A hunched-over standing position, and she leaned on Jen heavily, but it was still standing.

“I’m not sure if I’ll be able to really walk,” Fontaine said. Her voice was strained, and unusually soft.

Jen carefully took Fontaine’s hand, and with her other arm she grabbed her bike and dragged it over to the two of them.

“Would you rather sit behind me or in front of me? Also, can you conjure a fireball or anything, for light?”

“Behind, you know I have a back injury.” Jen bit her lip slightly. She had exploited the fact that Fontaine had a bad back before, if only to keep the spellcaster from hurting her and Toby. Now that she thought about it, they hadn’t fought Fontaine much since the play and Killahead.

“You also have a stab wound on the front side of you so it’s kind of a moot point.” Jen climbed on the bike in front of Fontaine; Fontaine reached around her to grip one of the handles. When she released the handle, it glowed with a slightly flickering purple light.

“Thanks,” Jen said, glancing behind herself. Fontaine was looking a little pale. “I’m going to take you to my house, unless you would rather go to the hospital? I don’t know if my mom’s home or not.”

“No hospital.” Fontaine snaked her arms around Jen’s torso and held on tightly as Jen peddled. Jen was glad Fontaine couldn’t see her face, because a blush was creeping onto Jen’s face. She had had a crush on Fontaine before Fontaine had revealed that she was working with the changelings, and maybe it hadn’t fully gone away.

Jen’s mom wasn’t home. There was a note stuck to the inside of the door, saying that she needed to cover a shift at the hospital. Well, at least Jen could avoid telling her mom the truth about trolls and magic for at least a little while longer. Jen knew enough about first aid and patching herself and Toby up after fights that she could hopefully fix Fontaine’s stab wound.

“Can you make it up the stairs?” Jen asked. “If not, I can bring the bandages and stuff down from where I’ve been keeping them.”

She had been keeping a second kit away from where her mom would find it, if only so that Jen could keep her from worrying and finding out the truth.

“I, I can,” Fontaine said, voice wavering. She was leaning very heavily on Jen; Jen was glad they were similar heights.

“So, um, you mentioned that Angor stabbed you because you don’t know who your parents are?”

“I was told I was abandoned at the mouth of the cave I grew up in,” Fontaine said. Her voice was slurred. “That’s what my Lady told me, and why would I disbelieve her?”

It was hard for Jen to tell if that last part was genuinely sarcastic or just sounded that way because Fontaine was in pain. Jen guided Fontaine towards her room.

“Except,” Fontaine continued, “when she sent me to Arcadia, to stop you, I started to remember being eight and younger and living in Arcadia, and the cave was in Bulgaria, and that didn’t make sense.” The last word was hissed in pain.

Jen sat Fontaine down on her bed. When Jen finished getting the first aid kit from under her bed, Fontaine had collapsed into a fetal position. Jen pressed her lips together.

“Okay, I’m going to need to take your shirt off so I can clean the wound. Are you allergic to any pain medications?”

“Never, well, haven’t had any since I was eight.”

Jen gave Fontaine the pills and her half-full water bottle, and then helped Fontaine take her shirt off.

The stab wound had scabbed over, but the veins around it had turned an inky black and glowed with an eldritch purple light.

“Uh, has this ever happened to you before?” Jen asked as she covered her hands in sanitizer. She knew it would be better if she washed her hands, but she also felt uneasy about leaving Fontaine alone.

“It’s dark magic,” Fontaine said. “But, I’ve never gotten cracks from a wound before.”

“This is gonna sting but it’s supposed to,” Jen said, pouring disinfectant onto a cotton ball. She leaned in as she pressed it to Fontaine’s wound, partially due to the way Fontaine hugged Jen and hissed at the pain. Jen’s eyes widened as she was able to glance at Fontaine’s back. “Hey, Fontaine? I know you have a bad back, but does it normally glow and cracks the way your wound is?”

“What?”

Jen pulled out her phone and took a picture before showing it to Fontaine.

“That’s not -” Fontaine whimpered - “normal.”

“Okay. Is it okay if I touch it? I don’t want to use the wrong bandage and hurt you further.” Fontaine nodded, but then screamed as Jen touched one of the two raised lines along her back.

“Too much pressure!” Fontaine didn’t stop hugging Jen, though.

“Sorry, sorry, I barely touched you but sorry.” Jen pulled away slightly to grab an adhesive bandage and stick it over the stab wound.

“I didn’t think she’d be so, mad, at me,” Fontaine said softly, eyes downcast. “I thought she’d be okay with me trying to find my parents. Let me choose if I wanted to spare them from the Eternal Night. I mean, I wouldn’t be able to save everyone I cared about, but... I thought she wouldn’t take it as a betrayal.”

“Are you still loyal to her?”

Fontaine’s shoulders raised defensively, and she hissed in pain at the movement. “She betrayed me first. I guess I should’ve known. I mean, she has so many names, and it was only because of you that I got to have one.” Fontaine’s face scrunched, and Jen couldn’t tell if it was in pain or in anger. “Then again, she also stole my first name from me, just like she must’ve had her changelings steal me from my parents.”

After a few minutes, Jen pulled away. “My mom won’t be home until tomorrow afternoon, so you can take my bed. I’ll take the floor, feel free to wake me if you need anything.”

Jen awoke several hours later to the sound of pained sobs. She sat up, and gasped at the sight of Fontaine. Inky veins surrounded her eyes, which had changed to purple and black. Fontaine’s ears were bloody, and the tops of the skin had peeled back to reveal raw flesh and pointed tips. The worst of it was her back, though.

Fontaine had borrowed a set of Jen’s pajamas for the night, and had put the button-up shirt on backwards. Jen hadn’t been sure if it was because Fontaine genuinely didn’t know she was putting on the shirt wrong, or if she was trying to just keep the pressure off her back, but either way the horror of it was fully exposed to Jen. The cracks had multiplied, and they wept a fluid that reminded Jen of oil. Black, but in the light of the amulet it reflected purple light.

“Fontaine, do you want me to take you to the hospital?” Jen’s voice shook. She had been less scared when Angor had first used Daylight against her, less scared than she was now.

“No,” Fontaine half-moaned, half-croaked. “Water?”

Jen grabbed her water bottle, and maneuvered Fontaine into a semi-sitting position so she could drink.

Fontaine’s eyes rolled back into her head, and she pitched forward. Jen rushed to catch her before she could hit the floor.

Two large, iridescent dark purple wings erupted from Fontaine’s back.

“H-hey,” Fontaine said when she came to half a minute later. “My back feels bet- what are those?”

“Um, so I guess you weren’t expecting wings either?”

“But how? Fairies are extinct, and, and, and I’m human.” Fontaine’s voice edged on hysterical. “My parents are human. I don’t remember them, but I’d think I’d remember if they had wings!”

“Maybe the Pale Lady tried to kill you by turning you into a fairy? We could ask Blinky.”

“Jen, I appreciate your help, but I doubt your allies feel the same way about helping me.”

“I mean, I’ll vouch for you.” Fontaine’s smile was small, and disbelieving, but Jen appreciated it nonetheless.

A woman rounded the corner. She was wearing the bottom half of a firefighter's uniform - yellow, not red, with lots of reflective strips and big rubber boots. Suspenders held the pants up over her tank top, and her arms were bare. Chick had guns.

"Can I help you, ma'am?" she asked. Her voice was resounding and accented; her hair was shiny black and half-up.

"Um," Darcy said. "I heard there was a volunteer ambulance program."

Darcy wants to find herself; Sif wants a paid firefighting job. They take an EMT class together.

Canon AU (cough Unbecoming cough) + Under Stress Confession? ;3

Like it says choose a universe and trope and I shall try to do it :3

So, I know that by canon au you probably meant Jim’s Unbecoming (and probably a different sort of under stress confession), but I think this is the perfect time to talk about my Determinant AU. It’s an AU where three major changes have been made to the universe:

Jim is a butch lesbian named Jennifer “Jen” Lake, and also half changeling because Barbara defected from the Janus Order. Originally she was also going to be the trollhunter bc this had a lot more sapphic starcrossed lovers, but I decided to change this. Well, it’s still sapphic, but less starcrossed.

Claire was kidnapped by Gladys Groe when she was eight years old; her memories were blocked by magic and she was raised as Morgana’s nameless apprentice, until she gained the name Fontaine de Morgan because she was sent back to Arcadia Oaks to spy on the first human trollhunter, otherwise known as...

The name called by the amulet after Kanjigaar’s death is Darci Scott, who eventually becomes known as Darci the Determined, or maybe Darci the Determinator.

In the Determinant AU, Darci’s Unbecoming results in the same thing as Jim’s did in the canon, with the added horror of nameless!Fontaine killing Mary, the latter of whom has Toby’s role in the story. However, there is a variant AU to my AU that I call the De Morgan’s Law AU. In this variant AU, Morgana senses that Merlin sent his human trollhunter back in time, and she names Fontaine and sends her to intercept and kill the human trollhunter. However, Merlin realizes what’s going on and has the amulet call out for Claire Maria Nuñez.

Darci is extremely suspicious of Fontaine, and tries to figure out just who the human (or half-human; she considers Jen) trollhunter is. She doesn’t suspect that Fontaine is

Fontaine tells Strickler she’ll look for Claire and try to kill her, but she used magic to convince the trolls that she was the trollhunter (even though she feels like she’s betraying Morgana by saying the incantation) since they already thought she was Claire. However, Fontaine doubts her own lie because she’s beginning to have flashbacks to having been in Arcadia as a child, having parents and having been friends with Mary (who is kept in the dark by both Darci and Fontaine). Eventually, her lack of loyalty begins to drive a wedge between herself and Trollmarket, but it does lead her to team up with Jen and Barbara.

Flash forward to the second Battle of Killahead Bridge. It occurs at the same time as before, and Darci has been practicing her swordplay and martial arts skills despite not wanting to be the trollhunter. Darci sneaks in, planning to hide until she was desperately needed or the battle is over, and go back to being a normal human with no connection to trolls if she could. She realizes that Mary is being used as bait. She sees Fontaine approach, smirking. Darci clenches her fists; Fontaine didn’t show up to the battle in the Determinant timeline. And then Darci has to keep herself from gasping, or else she’d give away her position. Mary does gasp.

“Well, you see, my real name is Claire Maria Nuñez, and Daylight is mine to command!”

Claire fights, relying on her training under Morgana and blasting Mary down with a bolt of magic. That goes about as well as you’d think, except when the amulet is forced into Killahead Bridge, Darci screams out the incantation, summoning the amulet to herself and causing the bridge to crumble.

Claire: Why do you have my armor?

Darci: Why didn’t you bring backup?

Claire: I brought a cavalry, waiting outside.

Mary: WTF is going on, I can’t even look this up on my phone because our monstrous history teacher broke it.

The cavalry is Jen on a bike. She hasn’t gotten a vespa because she doesn’t have anything close to a good relationship with Blinky between being half-changeling and Fontaine Claire not having a great relationship with him. Jen realizes that there’s more people than she was expecting, transforms into her half-changeling (immune to sunlight!) form, and runs alongside the others as they go to the cannals, because apparently Bular is headed there according to Darci. Darci is correct, and with the help of her friends she defeats Bular for the second time. She’s quickly reassessing how to do damage control, because she still doesn’t want to be the trollhunter. While Claire does need to work on her social skills (living in a cave with an abusive mentor and the once-a-year visits with supplies from changelings means she doesn’t know how to interact with people), Darci believes that Claire is a better choice.

Mary demands explanations. Why does Darci have armor and know how to command the others in battle? What the hell is Jen, and the other stone monsters for that matter? And most importantly, where has Claire been for the past eight years?

Claire starts to panic. She announced her real name to the changelings, and since they know that she knows, her family might be in danger. The same goes for Jen and Barbara. Her best option is to disappear, since the real trollhunter finally showed up.

Darci realizes just what’s going through Claire’s head, and realizes that she’s going to have to be the trollhunter no matter what. However, once she started working with them Fontaine was an important ally back in the Determinant timeline, and if she doesn’t give Claire a reason to stay, the fight is going to be much harder. And yes, here is your under stress confession.

“You don’t want me as your trollhunter, and you definitely don’t want me to do this alone, because I did that already in another timeline. There, I released Gunmar.”

Nevermind that Gunmar will still be released in the De Morgan’s Law AU
