They seek him here, they seek him there,
those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven, or is he in hell?
That damned, elusive Pimpernel.

literally cried with laughter imagining a scarlet pimpernel social media AU with my bestie
• Percy runs a scarlet pimpernel fan page and reposts photos of himself and sometimes “rares” he has the league take.
• Marguerite is always posting hot professional photos and Percy simps HARD in the comments.
• Percy has his own fan page (this one not run by himself) and someone catches him kissing the ground after Marguerite walks by the internet goes absolutely insane
• Sir Andrew posts to his story one night at like 12am “can any women tell me if burnt paper is actually good to cure a headache”
• Chauvelin posts fit checks and Percy always comments roasting him and his comments get more likes than the video
• Percy posts “how to tie a cravat” tutorials and tags Chauvelin mercilessly
• Percy’s “they seek him here” poem goes viral on tik tok
there were no scarlet pimpernel Percy x Marguerite edits so I have made one myself. sadly... i don't know of anyone else who will appreciate it. sending this edit out into the void in hopes of finding fellow shippers...
Its always awkward telling people they should read the Scarlet pimpernel because they're always like THE SCARLET WHAT NOW!?! and it's like noooooo it's a flower not- he doesn't- ITS A FLOWER I SWEAR
The Scarlet Pimpernel (1982) / Anthony Andrews as Sir Percy Blakeney and Jane Seymour as Marguerite St. Just
Another well-coordinated wedding pair! I love the embroidery on Percy's lapels, and of course his neckerchief is beautifully arranged, with a jeweled pin to fasten it.
It's always a bit amusing to see hair ornaments in the tall 18th-century women's hairdos. Compare Keira Knightley in The Duchess, here.
