I only just realized that the link to Gar Cyare on my masterlist is totally broken. Here are hyperlinks to the first two chapters until I have a chance to get things fixed:

Sorry about that!

Sneak Peak Snippet: Austenland AU

Summary: A little sneak peak of the Austenland AU.

Pairing: Boba Fett x fem!Reader

Rating: T | Wordcount: 667

Warnings: Dreks and we all know what that means

This is part of my birthday bash! This AU is a collab with the wonderful and talented @hdlynnslibrary ❤ I hope you enjoy this little snippet and if you haven't seen Austenland yet, what are you waiting for?

“I have never ridden a horse before,” you admitted, a little intimidated by the large animal in front of you. Romantic images flashed in front of your eyes how he would help you up, sit behind you and ride with you like they always did in those romantic period dramas. Maybe that was what was planned all along? Surely, they could not expect their very modern day guests to know how to ride? What if you hurt the horse?

“No worries, mylady,” Dreks assured you with a sweet smile, “We have an instructor just there by the stables. He will help you get more, I’m sure. Here, I will accompany you.”

How sweet, you thought, hooking your arm into his, he is even escorting me! You looked up at the brunette man, hardly able to keep the giddy smile off your lips. This was the most romantic thing anyone had ever done for you.

“Mr. Fett should be just through there,” he motioned to a row of stables and you nodded, lifting your dress up a little to make sure the hem wasn’t too muddied and dusty when you walked out again. It seemed to be empty but you heard some noise like someone was sweeping maybe?

Reluctantly you looked back and found Dreks quietly talking with another stable boy, not paying attention to you, so you continued your quest to find the mysterious Mr. Fett.

You find him in an empty box, obviously cleaning it out. He was older than you had expected but not old. The first thing you noticed was the scar that went from his forehead through his eyebrow and over his right cheek. The second thing was how broad he was. Even – or maybe especially? – wearing the regency appropriate pants and shirt and vest, he looked built. He looked strong. Not like the toned muscles Dreks was serving but like he could lift trees out of the ground.

Mr. Fett had not noticed you yet, too doing something, so you took the chance to let your eyes roam over his shoulders, his belly, his legs until you noticed his feet were pointed at you. Feeling caught you looked up, finding him looking at you utterly unimpressed.

Great first impression.

You opened your mouth to say something, anything, but were cut off by the most unexpected of voices.

“I swear to God if I have to endure one more of her stupid questions about the regency era, I will demand a raise,” Dreks’ voice echoed through the stables, “She probably thinks her smile makes her look enticing instead of foolish,” he scoffed, “I wish I could’ve sat this round out. Nothing worse than pretending you’re into some chick you wouldn’t even look twice at it in the pub.”

Embarrassment washed over you and you blinked, trying to keep the tears at bay. You felt so angry, so humiliated and so … disillusioned, you hardly knew what to do. All you wanted to do was to disappear forever and hide under your blanket.

“Hey Dreks, do us all a favour and shut up!” the man shouted, looking angrier and angrier by the second. Understandable. You wouldn’t want to deal with an angry customer either if you were him.

Because that was what you were. A customer.

Dreks did not say anything but you could her quick footstep that sounded more and more distant. Followed by the sounds of hooves as the party seemed to depart without you. It was probably for the best.

“Um,” you took a deep breath, squaring your shoulders, “I’m sorry for bother you sir, I was just, uh,” your breath hitched and you quickly wiped over your cheek, “I was just wondering if … Fuck, I’m sorry.”

“No reason to apologize, girl,” he grunted, “Dreks is a stupid man who can’t see what’s in front of him. You’re here to learn how to ride?”

You sniffled, nodding quickly.

“Follow me then,” he instructed you, “Name’s Boba, by the way.”

You smiled.

Hey, since you're url is about Pride and Prejudice (my favs), do you mind me asking what adaptations you've seen/read? And if anything surpasses the original novel? I haven't seen as much as I need to and i need recommendations haha ^^

((OOC: Oh wow. You have no idea the monster you have just unleashed haha…I was lucky enough that even though I studied the book in school, it didn’t ruin the story for me (sometimes there’s nothing like writing essays about a book to kill it for you). I really loved the nuances that studying it allowed me to see, and that has affected my experiences of both reading and watching the story (especially everything to do with Mr. Collins - he kills me). No adaptation has ever surpassed the original story for me, but that doesn’t mean they weren’t amazing too…So far that includes:

The BBC TV series (so many times) (Oh, Colin! *swoons*)The 2005 film adaptation (I am a very big fan of Macfadyen’s Darcy ngl)The Penguin audiobooks – read by Joanna David, who plays Mrs Gardiner (Lizzie’s aunt) in the TV series.

Read and watched Austenland, which is not quite an adaptation, but SO good.

Becoming Jane is also a lovely film and sort of takes the idea that Jane’s own life influenced a lot of Pride and Prejudice (it gets a bit carried away but…James McAvoy…)

Are we counting Bridget Jones’ Diary? Because YES.

*cough* Bride and Prejudice *cough* (its so awful its good, but it has been a really long time since I watched it so maybe I’m remembering it wrong.)

I still haven’t seen Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but I’m not sure how good it’s meant to be?

I have also just been reliably informed that there is a modern Mormon adaptation that I am now going to be forced to watch. I will report back.

– I’ve also visited the properties in the U.K. where Rosings Park was filmed for the 2005 film (Stourhead), and Pemberly for both the film and BBC TV series (Chatsworth House and Lyme Park respectively.) They. Are. Beautiful. –

But like, its not like I’m obsessed or anything….))
