One of my favorite things about fanfiction is its ability to take characters, settings, and plots we already know and add depth, complexity, and new ideas upon it. With a solid foundation like Pride and Prejudice, the author didn’t need to explain the characters’ relationships or how things worked in the world, but got to explore so many incredible character developments and internal dialogues and changes. It was very well crafted and well plotted. It was so beautiful to truly see how Lizzie and Darcy overcome their prides and their prejudices (haha) by falling in love with one another. I thought the idea was brilliant, and to see it end up so wonderfully, was so lovely to see.
