#george knightley x reader

[rusakkowrites]

For the alphabet asks:

A, B, C, O, W, X

(Reducedv to the most important because I'm on my phone and can't look at the questions while typing...and I can't just say all 26 ;)

Yay, thanks for the ask! <3

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

There are many, but my current particular favourites are Emma Woodhouse/George Knightley and Aral Vorkosigan/Cordelia Naismith.

B - A pairing–platonic, romantic or sexual–that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind.

Caroline Bingley/Colonel Fitzwilliam. I ended up writing it as part of a gift exchange because it was one of my recipient's requests. While I initially treated it more as a fun writing exercise, I gradually grew genuinely invested in the ship.

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Mary Bennet/Colonel Fitzwilliam. I just can't see it happening based on their book characterisation, and I don't really enjoy out-of-character portrayals in fic. The Colonel likes lively, charming, pretty girls and needs to marry money. Mary is not lively or charming, she is less pretty than her sisters, and she has a very small dowry. And Mary doesn't seem to share her younger sisters' fondness for men in uniform (though admittedly I suspect that she wouldn't be too picky if a respectable man took an interest in her). Putting Mary and the Colonel together feels like pairing the spares with little regard for the characters' canon personalities. No hate for anyone who likes this ship, but it feels a bit too unlikely and contrived to me.

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

I used a random song generator for this, and it gave me Adventure of a Lifetime by Coldplay. I wasn't previously familiar with the song and didn't immediately get an "omg, it's so this character" feeling from it. After thinking about it a bit, though, I feel like it's actually a pretty good fit for Dag Redwing and Fawn Bluefield from Lois McMaster Bujold's Sharing Knife series. The themes of finding your will to live again and choosing your own path in life certainly fit, as do the mentions of adventures and magic.

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

This is a tough one, because I feel like almost all tropes can be written in a way that I enjoy, though some very rarely are. But if I have to pick one, I'd say the Moustache-Twirling Villain trope, because I find these kinds of one-dimensional, evil-for-the-sake-of-evil villains really boring. I much prefer mundane villains who have realistic motivations (like selfishness, greed or the like).

X - A trope which you are almost certain to love in any fandom.

Does dramatic irony count as a trope? Well, I'm counting it anyway. I love when the reader knows more than the characters and can enjoy watching the events unfold (or suffer from the unbearable suspense of knowing that the characters are about to royally mess up).

So now I’m just gonna say a good pizza. Or an ice cream. Or a kebap. I mean I’m hungry

Headcanons: Being under the mistletoe with George Knightley

This same headcanon with Mr Darcy can be found here

Requested by anon

-You would walk into the room and stop in the door way, looking around at the people, wondering who to greet first

-No one would notice you, they would all be involved with their games and conversations

-But someone would clear their throat behind you, startling you

-Turning you would be greeted by a smirking George Knightley

-After greeting each other he would lean down and whisper to you “Look up”

-Doing so you would immediately blush at the realization of where you were standing

-Mr Knightley would smirk even more at your reaction before clearing his throat and telling you a small fact about the mistletoe tradition

-Wondering how you were going to get out of this situation (not that you wanted too) you tried to rack your mind for a joke or reason to leave

-But before you could Mr Knightley would lean closer again before speaking quietly to you “It would be a shame to break the tradition”

-Not knowing how to respond you only nodded lightly

-Smiling, Mr Knightly would gently take you face in his hand and press a kiss to your lips

-You would be surprised, having expected a small peck, but instead getting a more passionate longer kiss

-After pulling away he would smile at you before glancing at the others in the room, all of whom were unaware of what was happening in the doorway

-He would then take your arm in his and lead you into the room without a word

-The rest of the night would go on normally, but this time, every time you and Mr Knightley would make eye contact you would smile about the secret the two of you now shared
