Queer Women on Shortland Street in 2023
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
2023 started with Maeve battling it out for top dog in Ferndale Prison, as soon as she won she rang Rebekah, the leader of the evangelical cult Brightshine and asked her to get her out on bail. Meanwhile Brightshine was bankrolling the Shortland Street rebuild and Rebekah ended up in the CEO seat. She gave Maeve a no patient contact job, and as they spent more time together a romance built. Maeve was so relieved to have someone supporting her that she was prepared to overlook Rebekah's need to remain closeted, with only Nicole finding out about their relationship, but Rebekah's various lies slowly came to a head; when she had to go on the run she finally admitted to Maeve her part in Wilder's murder - Maeve tried to drown her but decided not to, and Rebekah was arrested. Goodbye Antonia Prebble.
Maeve returned chastened to Nicole's arms, and despite an STI scare they started fixing their marriage.
Gia took off to a job in Chicago and I guess is unlikely to return since her family has mostly also left the show.
Dawn also left for pastures greener, which is a pity because she was always a character who attracted gay shenanigans.
Six new surgery registrars were introduced, and one of them, Quinn, proved to have very good gaydar, admiring Harper and flirting with both Nicole and Maeve… Somehow Nicole acted liked they'd had a big romance instead of a weirdly inappropriate kiss when Quinn died in the winter cliffhanger. Pretty coulrophobic on the part of the show.
Leanne lost all her money financing son Eric's pyramid scheme, then won the lottery for the second time and announced she was off on a world tour - taking Rosalyn with her! Last we heard she and Rosalyn were living on a vineyard in the South Island - Pele went to stay with them for a while, and we saw Jennifer Ludlam on a video call briefly just before Christmas. Offscreen reunions are better than nothing!
Harper - still married to Drew. Billy - still a preschooler. Marley briefly had a storyline where he played with Drew's clippers and had to buzz cut his long hair, and then Billy had short hair just like their idol older brother a week or so later, I wonder if one or both actors wanted shorter hair in real life.
In the latter half of the year Cassie, Wilder's girlfriend, returned, no longer pregnant but with no memory of what had happened to the baby, and that mystery has been Maeve and Nicole's main storyline.
So an odd year, with decreasing numbers of queer characters, but at least Nicole and Maeve are still together, something that seemed unlikely this time last year. Somewhere in there they've become the show's longest running gay couple, passing Jay and Maia's threeish years.
Shortland Street returns on the 5th of February. Let's see what 2024 brings.
And let me know if I've missed anything, it's been a long year and I wasn't always paying attention!

Up, up, and... oh no. This week, V and Emily look at yet another fandom whose femslash juggernaut OTP got dealt an unfair hand by TPTB, in looking at the fallout of the Supergirl Season 2 Musical Recap from San Diego ComicCon 2017. So much rage. So much disappointment. So much annoyance. Why can't femslashers have nice things?!

Hey remember how I said I was writing a few verses for a song in Unbreakable? Yeah I changed my mind. Nothing’s coming to my mind so instead of delaying the update for a couple months I’m just going to describe the song and let the readers imagine their own version. Sometimes the best thing you can do as a writer is know when to cut things out.
Anyway, time for another episode of Jem!
When we last left off the TV set was on fire and Jem was caught in the middle of the blaze.
I’m glad Pizzazz slapping Lindsey was part of the episode recap.
Tumblr media
Jem manages to dodge all the flying equipment and Rio rides on a... camera thing and picks Jem up and brings her to safety. But Jem is shaken up, as anyone would be, and Lindsey tells Rio to take Jem to Lindsey’s dressing room. (You’d think all the femslash I write would make me better at being clear which girl’s is the “she” in the sentence.)
Lindsey tell the Holograms to get up on stage with her to finish the interview. I wonder how Jem suddenly being missing got explained. Did Lindsey tell the viewers that Pizzazz started a fire on the set? If she didn’t I’m sure Kimber did.
And this is when we get our episode’s title.
Tumblr media
Frame Up
We see Jem delirious in the dressing room mumbling about The Misfits and Rio’s being attentive, telling Jem that she’s in no shape to get up.
Tumblr media
We get a spinning pan of both Jem, and Rio before they start to kiss.
Tumblr media
And Aja and Shana come into the room in the middle of it and sees. Rio immediately gets up and runs out. Then Aja has a bit of a chuckle about how Rio’s going to be steamed when he finds out that Jem is actually Jerrica.
And then Jem says, “It isn’t funny. Rio’s very proud. How can I tell him the truth without him feeling like I made a fool out of him?”
Shana holds Jem’s shoulders and tells her that she’s dealing with a very delicate situation.
And now to talk about Rio and how Jerrica is nervous about hurting his pride. The “Rio’s very proud” line is a pretty clear indication of why Jerrica doesn’t tell him. We see later in the series that Rio’s “pride” can get bruised easily and that leads to yelling and kicking things over. We don’t see this side of Rio yet but they have sown the seeds of future problems in this relationship.
Tumblr media
But let’s deal with that later. Mrs. Bailey tells Jerrica that she’s worries about Ashley who’s barely been at home lately. Time to see what Ashley is up to.
Tumblr media
She’s in her room imagining how she’ll look in a Misfits t-shirt at their next concert.
I forgot to talk about this last time when I was talking about why Ashley’s behaviour is understandable. One of the biggest reasons why she’s hanging out with The Misfits a lot is because they made her feel welcome. Pizzazz scares her a little with how loud and pushy she is. But overall Ashley doesn’t feel like she has to live up to an impossible standard to earn their approval. They immediately invited her into the bar, showed her the ropes, and started hanging out with her. What has Lela done to make Ashley feel welcome? Not much. Maybe in moments we don’t see Lela has been a lot nicer to Ashley but even if that is the case those moments where Lela’s making Ashley feel like she’s not good enough probably stand out far more in Ashley’s mind than those moments where Lela’s being nice.
Like it’s no wonder Ashley has been spending so much time with the Misfits.
I appreciate Jerrica’s respect for Ashley’s privacy, she knocks on the door and waits to be invited in. Jerrica mentions to Ashley that she’s heard that she’s been away from home a lot and Ashley immediately gets defensive. But before Jerrica can talk to Ashley some more Kimber catches up to Jerrica to tell her that an a concert promoter from Vegas has arrived. So Jerrica tells Ashley that they’ll finish their conversation later.
But Ashley won’t be around. She takes the t-shirt and runs off.
Tumblr media
Now we cut to the promoter, Dirk Hayes and he asks where Jem is during the contract signing. Jerrica explains it by saying that she handles all of Jem’s business. And Hayes accepts that answer pretty quickly. No fussing from him. Kimber asks who the opening act is and Hayes says that it’s The Misfits. All of the women in the room get worked up about that because the Misfits hate them.
Hayes laughs and says that he knows they hate each other, he just likes to watch sparks fly. With a chuckle he walks out of the room.
While everybody else is still steamed Shana points out a bright side. Being Jem’s warm-up act with drive Pizzazz berserk.
Everybody has a laugh at that one.
Tumblr media
As Pizzazz is signing the contract Stormer asks who the main act is and Hayes tells her it’s Jem and The Holograms. Which gets exactly the reaction you’d expect. Roxy even pulls a framed poster off the wall and charges toward Hayes with it. But he laughs and leaves the room before Roxy can hit him over the head with it.
After Hayes leaves Pizzazz declares that she’s the brains of the operation and hatches a scheme to make Jem unable to perform. And to do that she’s going to need some help from Ashley.
Tumblr media
And right on cue Ashley sneaks into the building and knocks on the door to whatever room the Misfits are in.
Pizzazz uses her “sweet voice” and asks Ashley if she’d like to come to Vegas with them. And Ashley is touched by this, she asks Pizzazz if she means it and is reassured that yeah, they’ll be taking Ashley with them. And Ashley says that the Misfits are the best friends she’s ever had.
In the background Roxy and Stormer are laughing. Menacing music is playing during this scene.
We’ll find out the plan later. Now it’s time to catch up with Jem and The Holograms in Las Vegas. They rented a jeep I guess. I do like that they aren’t driving around in the Rockin’ Roadster.
Tumblr media
While in a casino Shana is sitting at a table with Jem and asks if she’s decided what she’s gonna do about the Rio situation. Jem says, “I’d like to tell him but…” and Shana finishes the sentence with a slightly disapproving sounding, “You don’t know what he’ll do if he knows the truth.” and then she walks away.
And finally our first song of the episode.
Tumblr media
I like Deception a lot. I like the song, I like the music video quite a bit. Give it a listen some time.
The song is about how Jerrica feels torn. She didn’t intend for things to turn out like this, and she truly didn’t, and now that this love triangle has started to take shape she doesn’t know what’ll happen if she comes clean. What would happen if she tells Rio that is was kind of a game for her at first but it went too far. She’s afraid that their relationship will go up in flames. And all of this is true. Jerrica is very in love with Rio and as we saw in previous episodes they do start off as a pretty darn cute and functional couple. However, Rio’s pride and anger issues didn’t suddenly become a thing. This is just when they start becoming a problem in the relationship. Or at least have the potential to. None of Jerrica’s fears have been realized yet. But she still has these fears.
I can’t wait to really dig into this relationship becoming as dysfunctional as it does. I’m just going to say that I am a big Jerrica defender but she’s definitely not blameless. But let’s move onto the next scene. Me breaking down this relationship will be a continuing thing throughout these recaps.
Tumblr media
The Misfits are talking to Ashley in their dressing room in Las Vegas and filling her in on the scheme. Ashley’s hesitant, Stormer assures her that it’s just a joke, but Roxy gets Ashley onboard by egging her on. Something tells me that Roxy wasn’t much different from Ashley when she was a young teen.
The plan is simple, Ashley lures one of the Holograms, ends up being Aja, into the luggage compartment on a bus. Aja is surprised to see Ashley in the casino and chases after her. And my god, what a breakdown in communication. How did Ashley get here without anybody knowing? Did she just tell Mrs. Bailey that Jerrica invited her? But even if she did, Mrs. Bailey probably would have checked with Jerrica. *does a quick Google* Well I suppose it is only an hour long flight and Ashley has already been missing for much of the day anyway.
Tumblr media
Anyway, Aja follows Ashley into the compartment and Roxy closes the doors after Ashley climbs out. Then we learn that this bus is on its way to New York. Hey fun fact, I have to specify that I want a labelled map of the US when I Google it. If I don’t specify I get unlabelled ones which are less than useful to me. There’s 50 States! FIFTY! Anyway, I looked up a map because fuck if I know where Las Vegas is compared to New York and wow that is on the other side of the country. Look man, I’m Canadian. I can barely label my own map.
Where was I?
Tumblr media
Oh yeah, Ashley being in school currently and growing up in the US does know how far away New York is and is feeling really guilty about this scheme.
Tumblr media
We cut to Pizzazz telling Hayes that one of the Holograms just ran off and tells him that The Misfits are ready to perform. And Hayes says that if Aja doesn’t show up in time then the Misfits will be the opening act. Jem tries to assure Hayes that Aja would never abandon a commitment.
Then we see Aja in the compartment banging on the door and shouting “help” over and over again as the bus is driving away to New York.
A couple passengers hear the banging but not the yelling and the husband figures it’s a flat tire. The wife tells the driver that she thinks he has a flat. The bus driver gets out to check the tires and hears Aja banging on the door. He opens it up and Aja just bolts. The driver’s reaction is so well acted. I love it.
Back to Jem and the remaining Holograms, they decide to split up and search for Aja.
Tumblr media
We go back to Aja who asks a couple guys for directions and they get into an argument so Aja tries to find somebody else. She’s then picked up by a guy in a cowboy hat riding a motorcycle. I thought Texas was where the cowboys live, Hayes wears a cowboy hat too. Anyway, the cowboy gets stuck in traffic but he’s only a block away from the casino and point Aja to where she needs to go.
Tumblr media
We keep moving locations. Rio asks if she can look in the Misfits’ dressing room. Roxy immediately opposes to it but Pizzazz lets Rio in. And then she flirts with him and promises Rio the world. But Rio tells Pizzazz that she isn’t fit to breathe the same air as Jem.
Tumblr media
And then pushes Pizzazz. Yeah she’s not a great person but wow, what a shove. She went flying.
Welp, Aja is still missing and Hayes is sick of waiting. He tells Jem that it’s too late and that there’s a penalty clause for failing to perform.
But wait! Aja calls out that they always perform and runs up to her family and gets a hug from Jem. She says she’ll explain what happened later.
Hayes tells the Misfits to go up and warm up the audience. Pizzazz is mad and says that she wouldn’t even warm up leftovers for Jem. But they do still walk towards the stage. And I assume perform. But we don’t see them play anything because it’s time for the next music video.
Tumblr media
Too Close for Comfort, I like this song. Britta Phillips has such a nice singing voice. Man. She’s great. The editing in the music video is a little strange. But eh.
Let’s see what Pizzazz is doing. Oh, complaining. She’s blaming Ashley for Aja getting back to the casino and Stormer points out that Ashley did exactly what she was told to. Ashley was about to come into the room but overhears Pizzazz and ducks out. Stormer also leaves.
Then Eric phones and tells Pizzazz that there’s going to be a commotion in the casino. And that the police are going to search it. Pizzazz’s job is to make sure they look in Jem’s room.
Tumblr media
We cut to Ashley hiding behind a standee, she’s scared. Stormer spots Ashley who is terrified and Stormer assure her that she’d never hurt her. And joins Ashley behind the standee. Ashley says that Pizzazz and Roxy scare her sometimes, and Stormer confesses that they scare her a little too. Stormer has her sweet side and I wish we found out why she’s even in this band. How did she get involved with them?
Tumblr media
While hiding behind the standee Stormer and Ashley witness Zipper and a couple of his goons stealing money from the casino. Then they hide the sack of cash in Jem’s dressing room.
Stormer asks Ashley what they should do. And Ashley being like, thirteen tells Stormer, “You tell me.” Because yeah, there’s one adult in this situation and it’s definitely not Ashley.
Meanwhile Jem and The Holograms are done their performance and apparently they gave three encores. Hayes is very pleased with them.
But not for long! Hayes is informed that the concert money has been stolen. Pizzazz immediately tells the cops to look in Jem’s dressing room.
Tumblr media
And we get our first moment of Kimber wanting to throw hands! :D That’s my girl! I always forget about this one because it goes so fast. You can tell this is a semi-regular occurrence because Jem already has her arm blocking Kimber off. She didn’t even have to look.
I should make a “Kimber About to Throw Hands” folder to go with my crying folder.
One of the cops tells the detective that he found money in Jem’s room. And the detective promptly handcuffs Jem without hearing her out.
After the commercial break we see Pizzazz being bitter about Rio turning her down so she tells the detective to arrest him as well. Jem keeps arguing and makes a good point, she was on stage, how could she have possibly stolen the money.
The detective says that the thieves were men (How did he know this? The smell of cologne?) and that Jem is only suspected of being an accomplice.
Tumblr media
Then Ashley shouts from off the screen that Jem didn’t do it. Pizzazz and Roxy try to stop her but fail. And Pizzazz tells the detective that Ashley is friends with Jem. And Jem being Jerrica and therefore being a mom stands up for Ashley saying that she would never lie about such a thing.
The detective says that what he thinks doesn’t matter. And then gasp! A raspy new voice enters the conversation! Who could it be? Definitely not anybody voiced by Sue Blu.
Tumblr media
Nope, definitely not.
Well, the mysterious woman tells the detective that she also saw the crime and that she can prove that Jem didn’t commit it. The detective invites the mystery lady and Ashley into Jem’s dressing room to get their account of what happened.
What I wanna know is, what proof did Stormer have?
Outside of the dressing room Jem’s trying to figure out why Pizzazz wanted to get Rio arrested too. He laughs and says that Pizzazz doesn’t take rejection well.
Not too long after that the detective comes out and announces that Jem is free to go. Everybody who likes Jem cheers while Pizzazz tells Roxy that they need to find Stormer.
Tumblr media
Who of course was the mystery lady. She promises Ashley that they’re going to keep this moment a secret.
I love Stormer so much. You have no idea.
Tumblr media
With that all resolved we have a time skip. Pizzazz is in Eric’s office complaining to him that Jem’s more popular than ever. And Eric says that they need to take another approach to the problem. He figures that Jem is a stage name and that maybe if he can find out her real name he could blackmail her or something. So Eric hired a private detective named Malone to find out who Jem is. (I always want to spell it Malogne for some reason.)
And then to help our transition to the next scene Eric tells Pizzazz that Jem is at a fashion show being hosted by our good friend Danielle.
Why yes I am trying to avoid having to look up how to spell her title.
Naturally the Misfits are here to sabotage things. Stormer questions the wisdom of this. And she really should be.
Danielle announces Jem and The Holograms and how they’re wearing her designs. And we get our last music video of the episode.
Tumblr media
Oh! This is when Truly Outrageous plays! It’s a nifty song.
Heeeey. Kimber’s been wearing that outfit in the last two episodes. Danielle met her in that jacket! In fact all these outfits are repeats!
After the song we see Roxy point out the lights shining onto the stage and Pizzazz knows exactly what she’s thinking. They shine the light onto the sprinkler because those things do get darn hot and the sprinklers go off soaking everybody. By the way, Jem and The Holograms did a quick outfit change and now they’re all in new clothes. I forgot a couple of them debuted here. They become wardrobe staples. (I ran out of screenshot room. I could have deleted Kimber wanting to throw hands but no. I will always include those moments.)
None of the Holograms would be surprised to find out that the Misfits were behind the sprinklering. But Jem points out that there’d be no way to prove it was their fault. While they’re driving we see Malone following behind them in his car.
Tumblr media
He turns off at the drive-in theatre where Synergy is located and hides his car. He watches the rest on foot and see the Rockin’ Roadster go through a wall.
Inside the base everybody changes while talking about the fact that the battle of the bands was in only two days.
They all leave and Malone follows soon afterwards.
Synergy’s security system is shouting “intruder” over and over again. It’s not very effective.
Tumblr media
Malone takes a picture of this weird yelling machine. And then he gets annoyed and smashes Synergy with a chair.
Tumblr media
She explodes.
And that’s it for Jem. It’s too bad we won’t see her performing in the battle of the bands. Unless Jerrica decides to wear a pink wig.

Just Leave A Comment Fest: Winter 2023 Recap
We participated in @justleaveacommentfest this past week and had an absolute blast! Our grand comment total was, wait for it...
✨69 Comments!!!✨
For those of you who know us: Yes, Boaty was responsible for that number. Was it because she wanted to make a 69 joke or because her competitive streak kicked in and she wanted to leave the most comments out of anyone in our system? Yes.
Either way: she succeeded.
~*~*~
We commented on 58 fics across 7 fandoms! We left:
42 Dragon Age comments
9 Transformers comments (6 Earthspark, 3 Prime)
7 Baldur's Gate 3 comments
5 Yu Yu Hakusho comments
4 Voltron comments
1 Monster Hunter comment (we don't even go here but we love our friends)
and 1 original fic comment
9 system members participated (that's half our system):
Boaty came out on top with 18 comments
Nuri left 15
Matt left 12
Haunt left 10
Roan left 5
Mulch left 3
And the remaining 6 were group comments made by various combinations of the above + Naeem, Sariq, and Snow
~*~*~
We also received 3 comments this week, and we treasure them all:
This one from @warpedlegacy
This one from @rakshadow
This one from @leggywillow
Thank you all, and thank you to the friends who cheered us on during this week's reading marathon as well! We appreciate you!! <333
~*~*~
We also got a 12 bingo combo (that's ALL THE SQUARES) on this bingo card we got from here!!
Tumblr media
See below the cut for what fics we commented on for each square! They're all good fics, so consider this our belated contribution to fic rec day.
Please heed the ratings and tags -- there's some spicy fics and heavy themes in the mix. Also note that while the majority of these fit the theme of this blog (Dragon Age and BG3), there are some other fandoms mixed in.
In the parentheses, we'll list the fandom, rating, wordcount, and main character or ship. Fandoms will be abbreviated as follows:
Dragon Age > DA
Baldur's Gate 3 > BG3
Transformers Earthspark > TFE
Transformers Prime > TFP

i always meant to talk about reading on here too, so here's some of that.
2023 Reading Recaps
AO3
read 263 fics (according to BotHermione)
bookmarked 61
got super invested in Ted Lasso Trent Crimm
top pairings: Ted/Trent (and sometimes a third), Roy/Jamie/Keeley, I'm sure I read some check please! fic too so Zimbits
longfic and romance had my heart (any rating tbh), and explicit one-shots came in a close second
tbh I can't muster the energy to go thru and grab links for faves but off the dome:
"Number Four Was Always You"
"Class Outside"
"Here Comes the Sun"
"Bizarre Love Triangle"
maybe I should do a fic rec post soon? hm.
okay, Published Books
99 books read (my goal was 52 so I'm delighted by this!)
that's apparently 34,658 pages (according to story graph)
not many audiobooks
I read the Percy Jackson series for the first time
A Lot of Romance & Fantasy
About half of those books were queer
Some 5⭐ reads:
The Golden Enclaves
On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
Camp Damascus
Promises Stronger than Darkness
The World We Make
Reading goals this year:
*Read 100 books
*Finish the Book Riot Read Harder challenge, and the Beat the Backlist challenge
*Write more reviews!
*Read and review more ARCs
*Keep track of fave fanfic some way that makes sense to me
*Read more femslash

Shortland Street's Queer Women in 2022
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We finished 2021 with an unexpected kiss between Samira and Francesca, plus two ongoing f/f relationships, and then 2022 turned out to be an absolute rollercoaster.
The new relationship between Samira and Francesca was very popular and absolutely lovely - and then went downhill very fast, as Francesca pushed too hard, then left the show. Samira immediately decided Marty was the love of her life instead, then promptly left the show without him.
Dawn tried to set Louis up with cosplayer Demelza but instead she kissed Dawn. Dawn was very flattered and is never good at saying no to people, but had to tell her she had been down that path before and it was not for her. Demelza turned out to be an ex of Maeve's (pre-Saskia) that she had a bad break up with which Maeve was apparently still harbouring a lot of anger over. I'm sorry Demelza didn't hang around after that.
Rosalyn left Leanne for a man who grew flowers; Rosalyn's side of the breakup all happened off screen. Leanne didn't swear off women forever (which would have been within character) but she did sleep with newly married Damo and then got involved with an evangelical church which would have drastic repercussions down the line. She did quit the church when her closest friend there proved homophobic, in time to prevent them fleecing her of all her money, so well done Leanne. Not sure if she'll get a girlfriend again but she has evolved a bit. Still trying to run Nicole's life though. And then at the end of the year Ros showed up for a funeral.
Nicole and Maeve have had a difficult year of never quite being on the same page, struggling with intimacy and whether the other really wants them. Which culminated in Maeve suggesting a threesome with a woman who had been flirting with Nicole because she thought that might make things better with Nicole. Nicole was not pleased but later trying to initiate a threesome with a man they worked with which Maeve said yes to but then freaked out about, and shortly after that Nicole decided their relationship had become too hard and asked Maeve to leave. Maeve did not take this well, got drunk a bunch and kissed Harper once. And then someone from Brightshine church killed Wilder, which briefly brought them back together in their grief, the year ended with them loosely together, Nicole obviously not happy about it, and Nicole was last seen in the IV as it burned down. Cliffhanger! On the one hand that's three f/f couples that have broken up on Shortland Street this year. On the other, that's a soap record, because no other soap has three unrelated (or overrelated) wlw couples to break up.
Saskia also returned for one episode for Wilder's funeral (not surprising - Amanda Tito had been doing some directing - including directing the episode where Nicole and Maeve first broke up).
Young Billy is still not quite up to full dialogue scenes, but has become more vocal with the addition of Marley, and there was a nice storyline where Marley wanted to wear a blue Frozen dress for Halloween to match Billy's princess dress. After Marley came home from school angry at being laughed at for wearing it to the school Halloween Drew also dressed in a dress to go trick or treating, leading to drama with a friend's parent who had unnecessary opinions. And Billy ended the year with a full sentence of dialogue!
In other news in November new doctor Gia Te Arakura was introduced when Jack employed her as a locum. Gia was avoiding meeting TK who had recently found out that the older child he was estranged from was dead, and it quickly became clear that Gia was that child, who had transitioned. And had also become a fully fledged doctor in the five years since she last appeared on the show as a teenager focused on rowing - we could solve the country's health worker shortage if we used Shortland Street's sped up training methods! Gia is played by trans actress Awa Puna.
So yes, a year with lots of ups and downs for the fans. Shortland Street is back from hiatus on Monday, it'll be interesting to see where they go this year.

A bit of a recap, but P&P fics I’ve been thinking of over the last few weeks:
1. Love, Pride & Delicacy: the f!Darcy/Elizabeth period-set femslash AU that I’m still hammering out the details of. I haven’t posted new chapters lately, but I am working on it!
2. Darcy/Elizabeth pining AU: everything is the same as in P&P (the book) except that Lady Catherine never hears the speculation about a potential Darcy/Elizabeth match and never comes to Longbourn, and Darcy doesn’t have enough hope to propose until his and Elizabeth’s paths cross in London several months later, when she’s on her usual visit to the Gardiners while he’s on visiting terms with them. Intense yearning, poor communication, and UST ensue (and are inevitably resolved in a HEA, but it takes more time).
3. Gardiners at Longbourn earlier AU: Mr and Mrs Gardiner visit Longbourn earlier than in canon, and are able to personally interact with Darcy and Bingley from early on. Darcy is initially wary but does end up liking them fairly quickly (and is both uncomfortable and inconsiderate enough to make zero attempt to hide his preference for them over Mr and Mrs Bennet), to Elizabeth’s surprise and discomfiture.
4. Post-P&P fic in which Elizabeth takes really well to the political aspect of the Darcy-Fitzwilliam-de Bourgh clan’s lives as 1790s big name Whigs, and specifically in which she, Darcy, and Georgiana have to deal with their even more big-name Whig neighbors: William Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire; his wife Georgiana; and his mistress Elizabeth Foster.
4b: Colonel Fitzwilliam/Darcy/Elizabeth fic (technically not an AU as I imagine the Darcy/Fitzwilliam + Fitzwilliam/Elizabeth developments mainly take place after canon) in which they have to put up with the much inferior throuple down the road (Devonshire/Georgiana Spencer/Elizabeth Foster) for political reasons. A terrible dinner party ensues.
5. My personal take on the inevitable modern US American AU with political undercurrents: Republican Darcy is a) terrible and b) doesn’t make a lot of sense for his canonical character, in which he’s fairly progressive for his time but elitist with a blind spot about class/socioeconomics, which is actually very common among US progressives anyway; his powerful family = a Democratic political dynasty, his uncle is a senator (federal not state), etc.
5b. Okay, my actual personal take: Darcy, in addition to having ties to politically powerful people, is a wealthy lesbian from Seattle who, per 5a, is genuinely pretty progressive but woefully out of touch when it comes to class/money issues (obviously bigoted laws are intrinsically wrong and should be fought, but why don’t people just... move???). Elizabeth (bi) kind of wants to murder her in her sleep; she is personally comfortable enough for the moment, but comes from a formerly rural area gradually becoming unaffordable to its own residents. Bingley is a Californian tech bro (better-natured than most...) who buys up/rents one of these now-unaffordable properties and thus brings himself and Darcy into contact with the Bennets.
