anghraine: darcy kissing elizabeth's hand after their engagement in "austen's pride" (darcy and elizabeth (engagement))
[personal profile] anghraine
A cute OTP thing:

Darcy:

“Such I was, from eight to eight-and-twenty; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you!”

Elizabeth:

by her ease and liveliness, his mind might have been softened, his manners improved, and from his judgment, information, and knowledge of the world, she must have received benefit of greater importance.

It is really easy to laser-focus on the ways in which one or the other benefits from their ultimate relationship, but I think it’s adorable that Darcy goes on about how Elizabeth’s influence is sO IMPORTANT, while Elizabeth is 100% sure that his influence on her would actually matter more.

#also i think it's delightful that darcy is babbling on while elizabeth was thinking silently about it—#it's such a nice reversal
