#like professionally

(2/2) Also I am the PacRim anon, lol. You did a banging job and I adored what you came up with. 

I have no particular attachment to P&P-- I read it as a teen and recalled not liking it particularly, but then I really liked the Kiera Knightley version of the movie, and people are really into it, so I thought I would give it another go. I liked it very much, and I cannot emphasize enough that Byakuya is just Mr. Darcy whom someone has given swordfighting lessons and now has license to kill, gosh, what an awful idea.

A torrent of obscenity came out of my mouth when I got this ask, I want this so, so bad. It sounds perfect. I have not read Persuasion and now I am hot mad that I started Emma last night (my best idea so far has been Uryuu meddling in his friends’ love lives while Chad keeps coming over and telling him not to and eventually they kiss), because I absolutely would have read this one next if I had gotten this message first. I have been rolling around Regency AUs in my head for a week and believe me Renji-is-a-Ship-Captain has come up repeatedly, probably because I was really into Captain Blamey from Poldark (despite being somewhat problematique). God, I love a ship captain. Christ.

Here is a list of specific things I am looking for in this theoretical AU:

Chad dressed in sumptuous fabrics such as silk and velvet

Renji and Ichigo wearing tricorns. Possibly also boots and long coats.

Repressed feelings. So many repressed feelings.

Someone rich from London rents a country house and everyone in the village goes nuts trying to invite them over

Orihime and Rukia exchange letters in which someone’s secret motivations are revealed

The most insufferable Byakuya you’ve ever seen

Whist. Loo and quadrille are also acceptable

Dance cards

Sick burns couched in polite terms

L O N G I N G

Someone confessing feelings after having been rained upon

Maybe someone could gaze out over a cliff at the sea?

Unnecessary details about peoples’ incomes

Cameos by as many side characters as possible.

1) Spiced Potpourri

2) Pinecone Hill

3) Moroccan Ruby

4) English Channel

And here’s the rug pattern for reference. It’s a little tired looking but it’s a hand-me-down and I like it.

I’d love to have the fireplace stripped back to the natural wood, brick, and cast iron but I have to save up for that so for now it’s just going to get repainted white.
