When I wrote last year's au_bigbangs, I vaguely referred to two other fandoms within the stories - for the lulz! - and then amused myself by stuffing as many references to as many others of mine as I could shove in. I always meant to do a proper attribution post, but just ... forgot. But now I've remembered! So here they are. (The citations are in white, so feel free to guess if it amuses you.)

Awhile back, I read a rather ... hm, peculiar essay on Pride and Prejudice. (Yes, I know. Shocking.) It argued that P&P's conclusion is sekritly subversive and anti-establishment and blah blah blah. This is nothing new, but the essay in question based its argument on the 'fact' that the last words of the book are about the many inconveniences in Darcy and Elizabeth's lives, rather than the 'happily ever after' that the misguided romantics may be expecting.

With the Gardiners, they were always on the most intimate terms. Darcy, as well as Elizabeth, really loved them; and they were both ever sensible of the warmest gratitude towards the persons who, by bringing her into Derbyshire, had been the means of uniting them.

I know. It's so edgy.)
