PH 1 - Crossover Fandom [S&S - Austen/P&P - Austen], Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

Request 1 by FakeCirilla9
Crossover Fandom
Relationships:

John Willoughby (S&S - Austen)/Anne de Bourgh(P&P - Austen)

Motivated by low incentives, I want Willoughby to suffer in a canon divergence AU. I wish to see him leading a miserable life, constantly rebuked by Lady Katherine and powerless to stop it because of the conditions on which he was granted Anne's dowry. Preferably with as little hurt to Anne herself as possible. She can be ignorantly happy with her handsome husband or a tyrant in the making, growing to surpass her mother.

Request 2 by FakeCirilla9
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Relationships:

Mary Bennet/William Collins (P&P - Austen)

I'm interested in an AU in which Mary was persuaded to marry Collins and their relationship works. I'd like them both to be awful to all the people around and kind to one another. Make them partners in little social crimes, judging all their neighbours from their imaginary high moral ground.

Best of luck as you approach the finish line, and please don’t hesitate to reach out with any last-minute questions. Thank you!
