Hello, Yes, 911? I’d Like To Report This Scene For Personally Victimizing Me

ok universe, i’m ready to feel good things. make me feel good things.

What are your favourite p&p fics set in the regency era? x

Necessity is the Mother of Invention: An unusual first meeting between Elizabeth, Bingley and Darcy leads them down a different path.

Being Mrs Darcy: Being Mrs Darcy is a Regency, forced marriage scenario and is rated for mature audiences only and the angst-o-meter is set to high. Remember what Darcy is like in canon pre-Hunsford? I took him at his words to Elizabeth in Chapter 58: “I have been a selfish being all my life (…). [My parents] allowed, encouraged, almost taught me to be selfish and overbearing; to care for none beyond my own family circle; to think meanly of all the rest of the world; to wish at least to think meanly of their sense and worth compared with my own.” How, then, would he feel if he had a wife thrust upon him – a woman he did not know and whose circumstances in life were very much beneath his own? How will Elizabeth react to being forced to marry a man she doesn’t know and who very clearly does not think highly of her or her family?

Of Time Gone By: A tragic childhood illness changed the life of Fitzwilliam Darcy. When he meets a young gentlewoman named Elizabeth Bennet, his world is transformed again.

The Perfect Gentleman

The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy: The Recovery of Fitzwilliam Darcy is the story of what happens when someone discovers that they are not the person they always thought they were. Twenty-odd years before the start of our story, a terrible crime was committed, leaving one family grieving and another with a new family member. When a long-ago mistake is corrected, what will it mean for everyone involved – those that now lose someone they love, those that regain their missing family member and, most of all, the person struggling with who they thought they were and who they really are.

Seen and Unseen: Fitzwilliam Darcy is immediately intrigued by the witty and fiery woman whose causes him to be thrown from his horse. After this first meeting, Darcy realizes that there is more to the spirited Elizabeth Bennet than his first impressions could ever have revealed.

A Woman Scorned: Every woman wants Mr. Darcy. But Josephine will stop at nothing. One woman’s campaign becomes the ultimate test of E&D’s love…spooky & angsty, but actually pretty damn funny too. Rated mature for sexual content, suspense and occasional language. (WIP)

Tempt Me: Vampire AU 

To Save and Protect: The story begins from the morning Darcy delivers his letter to Elizabeth. Darcy finds out that Elizabeth may be in danger. Being a gentleman in love, he sets out to rescue Elizabeth despite the fact that he knows she hates him. Our hero and heroine get to experience fear, pain, and passion together. Their adventures help them understand themselves and each other better.

A Lady’s Reputation:

A Most Convenient Mishap: A comedy of errors ensues when Elizabeth comes to nurse her sister at Netherfield, beginning with her trunk being placed in the wrong room.

Mr Darcy Steals a Kiss: An alternative view of might have happened in the weeks leading up to Darcy and Elizabeth’s marriage.

Five Questions: What if Darcy’s letter caused Elizabeth to question everything she thought she knew? If she was so completely wrong about Darcy, what else did she misconstrue in her life? Would he give her a chance to understand him?

Some Like it Wild: Elizabeth runs away disguised as a young man in response to Mr. Bennet’s insistence she marry Mr. Collins. She asks Darcy for help. He fears for her safety, and the two travel to Pemberley on a roadtrip to happiness.

Rumour Has It: What if Mrs. Philips had gotten it wrong? What if the rumour of Darcy’s worth had been seriously underestimated?

Wholly Unconnected to Me: Dr. Bennet, Lady Catherine’s personal physician, has brought his family to live in the shadow of Rosings park to benefit from the attentions of his patroness. Headstrong Elizabeth seems to thwart the great lady at every turn, but for the sake of Anne, Elizabeth is forgiven–until she refuses to turn her back on Mr. Darcy.

A Case of Some Delicacy: In this what-if story, Mr. Collins’ visit begins about a month earlier than canon, and what a difference that month makes! Since the Bennets have not yet met Mr. Bingley, Mrs. Bennet is nothing but encouraging for a match between Mr. Collins and her eldest daughter. Elizabeth cannot sit by while the happiness of her most beloved sister is sacrificed for the good of the family, but keeping Jane away from the fawning parson is a full-time job. Elizabeth receives help from an unexpected ally. The other Bennet sisters all play roles in the altered events in Hertfordshire as well, some of them in surprising ways. Eavesdropping abounds, secret partnerships are formed, matchmakers and matchbreakers run rampant and general hijinks ensue …

Kidnapped: First Lizzy had learned of Mr. Darcy’s hand in breaking Jane’s heart, and then he had offered the most insulting marriage proposal in history. Could a day get worse? Only if she were to be threatened at sword-point, tied up, and whisked away by a rogue, with only the world’s most arrogant man to watch over her. Luckily, that wasn’t very likely to happen….

Childhood Impressions: Part One of the Elizabeth series, in which Lizzy and her cohort, Fitzwilliam Darcy, travel the English countryside in search of mayhem and mischief.

Mr Bennet’s Daughter: Sequel to Childhood Impressions. Misunderstandings sunder the childhood friendship of Darcy and Elizabeth. Now an independent young woman, Lizzy must work to regain her old friend – who has become the cold-hearted master of Pemberley. Meanwhile, Georgiana falls in love with her piano master and Jane falls in love with Bingley.

this thread absolutely killed me

“i have ended wars singlehandedly, brought gods broken to their knees, dragged the very lights of heaven down to the sand, but my greatest victory was always that i was what sparked your smiles.”

— i no longer wish to be remembered for my battles or my blood (via wearealsoboats)

we’re all distracted by the beautiful queer love between an angel and a demon but can we talk about Adam Young? about Adam as, well, as Adam, as the first man, the first representative of all humanity? it’s not a mistake or coincidence the baby wound up with that name, of course. (ineffable…)

he might have been Satan’s son but he is raised human, by humans, with humans. he is human, in all his upbringing and outlook and emotions, in all his flawed glory. he is proud, yes, and he is a leader (the Them always have looked to him, he has the best ideas) and yet he loves. he loves so deeply and so selfishly, in that very Pratchettian way – selfishly, yes, because he makes everything he loves into his own, and so he protects it as he’d protect himself. and isn’t that such a human thing to do? to take that flaw and make it something beautiful instead?

Tadfield is his Garden, is his youth and his innocence. he’d give the world to his friends but he… he would stay right there, he says. he’d stay in his Garden. it is his paradise, unspoiled, loved so much that Aziraphale felt it at once, that all the summers were perfect summers, that all the weather in general was idealized in a way which it never really is in reality. he reached out through his love and made the world better. and when he came into his powers, what spurred it? a boy’s naive but genuine desire to fix things. it wouldn’t have fixed anything, of course, in the end. he abused his power and hurt people accidentally, and could so easily have abused it more, worse… but the motivations were good. he wanted to help. to make it better. and isn’t that such a human flaw too? 

but at the end, through all of it… with the help of his Them – of his Horsepersons, who aren’t just concepts made by humans but are themselves human – and of the same angel and demon who were there at the very first – and that isn’t a mistake or coincidence, either – he knows. he understands. his father, his real father, the one who was there for him all along, says that he might not quite know what Adam did wrong, but that Adam does.

and he does. he knows. after 6000 years outside of the Garden, that first bite of the apple has finally come to, ha, fruition in Adam, that so entirely human boy. he knows what he did wrong. he knows the difference between good and evil. between right and wrong, and between Right and Wrong, too.  

I’ve seen a lot of wonderful analyses on how Aziraphale played up the part of Crowley, but I haven’t seen much on Crowley’s portrayal of Aziraphale. This is the angel he’s been in love with for millennia, the angel he’s watched and guarded and adored since before written history began, and finally in the very last episode we get to see what Aziraphale looks like through his eyes. 

Standing before the one thing in the universe that could actually destroy him, Crowley’s Aziraphale is resolute, unflinching, gracious to the very end. He talks about the greater good and how angels are meant to be the champions of that greater good even when it goes against how the Great Plan was written. He stands up and speaks his truth even in the face of total opposition. And when the Archangel Gabriel, the person Aziraphale has always tried to emulate, tried to impress, tells him in no uncertain terms that this is what heaven does to the people who fight for the right thing, Aziraphale straightens his shoulders and lifts his chin and says, “It’s been lovely knowing you all. May we meet on a better occasion.” And then he steps into the flames. 

We’ve seen other sides of Aziraphale. We’ve seen him be selfish, gluttonous, desperate, closed minded, we’ve seen him be just enough of a bastard to be worth knowing, but when Crowley is asked to take the part of Aziraphale this is who he chooses. This is who he really believes Aziraphale is deep down: kind, chivalrous, compassionate, brave, the sort of angel that heaven ought to be peopled with. The sort of angel who smiles even though he’s broken. The sort of angel who doesn’t mind dying as long as he did the right thing. 

i was making a lot of mistakes and then my archery instructor said:

“you make mistakes because you’re focusing on the target and not on your actions”

and i was like woah

thanks for giving me the best life advice i’ve ever gotten

It's a Buffalo calf indeed! Nadia Afgan (Shahana) retweeted a gif in which someone was trying to catch hold and control a Buffalo, so it's actually funnier as you said 😂😂😂

Hey TT! I hope you are doing great. In nava katta, katta= buffalo calf. Love from Pakistan

Oh! Thanks for clarifying! I knew that “katta” meant buffalo (because lol Shahana explained “doobi katta” in the last season) but I thought it also meant something that could be tied and untied (coz BiJaan said “maayke bhej doongi toh, kholti aur baandti rehna apne katte wahaan”) So when they say “nawa katta khul gaya” it actually means that a buffalo calf has been untied and is running free? Lmao that’s even funnier! 🤣🤣🤣
