viveperdiemnoctemque at Tumblr asked:
what are your thoughts about the parallels and differences between beatrice/benedick and darcy/elizabeth? obviously, you prefer d/e, but what is it about them or the story they inhabit that makes it better for you? also, any fanfic recommendations? (for both, but i've never seen any much ado about nothing fanfic, so probably p&p lol)As far as the first goes, my many opinions couldn’t really be confined to a manageable-length Tumblr post, so I monologued about it here. [NB: I would really like to transcribe this at some point, but haven't managed it yet.]
I haven’t really read Much Ado About Nothing fic (at least none that stuck with me), but as far as P&P goes, I have some recs here, here, and here.
