crosspost: baby Fitzwilliam and Darcy
My young Fitzwilliam and Darcy headcanon!
The original: The Two Sons of the 1st Earl of Talbot by Thomas Lawrence. It's much too early for my headcanon P&P, which iirc is set 1795-6; this was painted only a few years before that. But the features and colouring are so exactly my idea that—eh, time is an illusion.
...Despite my blond!Darcy villainy, I do imagine Darcy's hair as dark—darker than any of the major adaptations, actually. I can go either way for Fitzwilliam, but I do like the aesthetic of red-haired Fitzwilliam and black-haired Darcy.
(I also picture Darcy as a particularly adorable child who gets his cheeks pinched and is extremely indignant about it. Fitzwilliam has zero regrets about being The Plain One.)
