hiii
do you know any good jane austen-esque fanfics?
tysm!
Hello! Here are some Jane Austen inspired fics…
To Conquer A Grand Estate by angelsnuffbox (M)
‘He fought against another thing as well.
He fought against hope, the warmth and pleasing sensation of it, wanting to bloom in his chest. He took it and kept it within confinement, aware that it would no longer do him any service. A foolish thing it was, to realise how greatly and ardently he could have loved Crowley now, when all love was vain.’

Good Omens x Pride and Prejudice fusion that no one asked for
A Truth Universally Acknowledged by cyankelpie (G)
It’s 1812, and Crowley is posing as a wealthy widow to tempt single men into competing for her hand in marriage. It’s exhausting, until she bumps into Aziraphale at a ball, and finally has someone to talk to who isn’t interested in proposing. Luckily, since it’s well-known that Aziraphale has no intention to marry, nobody will draw the wrong conclusion from their enjoying each other’s company.
For some reason, everyone draws the wrong conclusion anyway.
(A fake relationship fic in Georgian England, heavily inspired by the work of Jane Austen.)
Convictions and Consequences by Epivet (T)
After the Apocanope, Aziraphale and Crowley fall into a comfortable routine until Aziraphale’s convictions persuade him to take on angelic responsibilities that Crowley can’t comprehend. When fate (or a plan by their friends) forces their paths to cross again, they must overcome heartache, (genre-appropriate) misunderstandings, and malicious plots to find their way back to each other. In other words, Jane Austen’s Persuasion as a sequel to Good Omens.
If I Loved You Less by Thestarlitrose (G)
A Good Omens fic inspired by the confession scene in Emma by Jane Austen: “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”
Aziraphale whispers the words of Knightley’s confession to Crowley while he sleeps in hopes it will be enough.
Pride, prejudice and omens by Joseph_Amadeus (NR)
Pride and prejudice for Ineffable husbands.
Effort and Ineffability by Infinitely_Stranger (M)
It’s 1811, just east of Winchester, and Aziraphale and Crowley are going under cover.
Who is the mysterious man-shaped being preying on passing coaches? How will Aziraphale evade unwanted marriage proposals? And what, exactly is trolly-lolly?
God only knows. Probably.
…….
Somewhere in the depths of the internet, Neil Gaiman suggested that Aziraphale was probably a big fan of Georgette Heyer, regency romance writer extraordinaire, who you probably haven’t heard of. This happened.

Adults stop underestimating children and/or determining for them what they want in books challenge 2021.
I know no one, not a single soul, who wasn’t at least a little disappointed that some historical “fact” they read in a children’s book wasn’t actually correct. And this goes double for books that have the goal to educate. If you are attaching an explanatory glossary to your historical fiction, whether it’s a children’s book or adult fiction, you are by your own intent obliged to make sure the information you present in that glossary is as accurate as you can get it to be. The liberties you take in the narrative are your business, just explain them correctly in the damn glossary or leave the glossary out wholesale. Don’t trick people into thinking that your liberties are historical fact.
Maybe I’m overly strict or whatever. Maybe it’s because I felt betrayed by all the books I enjoyed as a child when I was told on my first day of uni to “forget everything I ever heard about Egypt, because it’s wrong”. Maybe it’s because there are so precious little children’s books set in ancient Egypt to begin with.
But I really wish Egypt fiction had progressed at least an inch in thirty years instead of the remaining same stagnant bullshit we always get.
There’s a home video of me in 1996/1997, aged maybe 7 or 8, arguing with my dad about whether the book on hieroglyphs they got me was correct. Dad was insisting that this is how hieroglyphs worked, and there’s little me telling him it can’t be right because ‘why would hieroglyphs match our alphabet?’ and 'there are more hieroglyphs than this because I’ve seen them so what do they mean?’. Genuinely just absolutely not having it with the activity book.
Around the same time I was having arguments with them about the Disney film, Pocahontas, because it wasn’t accurate either. I’d seen the film and loved it, so Mum had found me lots of materials on Pocahontas and what really happened to her. Little me was furious that it was so wrong. Also, to this day, I am still mad about the line 'he’ll die if he stays here’ after John Smith gets shot, because I already knew about scurvy as a child and 7 year old me is sat there like 'he’s going to get scurvy AND die of an infection on the way home. This seems silly’
As a teenager I had an argument with a history teacher about the 100 years war actually being 116 years long, and had been marked as wrong in an essay. Said teacher had to eat crow when I proved him wrong.

030CRC Day 12: Mecha
Knockoffotron
Legally distinct from any other mecha you might know, the Knockoffotron is made of scraps of stolen armour and the rigging from an old theatre. It is piloted by a group of goblins who use the power of friendship and being really into gunpla to use its mighty multi-sword hands and inexplicable crossbow nips to devastate all in its path. On destruction may produce a number of goblins at half health (roll a d4 to see how many).
