Not so canonical P&P as fantastical P&P - it is better to think that all the characters in this story hold debilitating mental disorders
. -- A young and cheeky Fitzwilliam Darcy is plunged into the depths of absurdity after he offends a stranger, Mr. Edward Gardiner, at a public house, and is obliged to spend some days working at his home, where carriages of weird nightmare await, alongside the unpredictable lady of the house, and the couple's insolent adopted son, Alexander. -- Mr. Gardiner, a consistent drunk, is a psychologically and physically abusive husband, neglecting of his wife her beauty, elegance and uniqueness, characteristics promptly spotted and attended to by an observant Darcy. -- When Darcy, via an absurd journey to find himself, his uncontrollable affections toward her and the devilish urging of son Alexander, finally unmasks the true Mrs. Gardiner, he seals the fate of the relationship for good. -- Set in a variety of eras ranging from regency to modern day. Written through Darcy. -- "This was before I was made from metal inside. I had paler skin than that you see now; for it was atop something wholly human, really real. I wore a thin, moderately drooping necklace; hanging from this was a little pendant, that I obtained from my sister, and that resembled the bust of a medieval knight in jousting armour. I had red hair, and kept that short. Occasionally I drank milk at the pub below my residence, if only as social rationale. I could not afford a piano; so instead I blasted from a boombox by my window the works of Satie by day and the works of Brahms by night; on red-letter days, however, I proudly and without consideration for my inability to afford a piano played these three pieces of music, on shuffle: Out of Space - The Prodigy; silence; and 444 - Autechre. On my birthdays I played Loaded, by Pryda, on repeat, from sunrise to its successor. I worked as a collector of seashells for the pub's proprietor, my residence's landlord; I do believe he wanted to kiss my pale face from time to time; but not once did I want this: he was and hopefully still is married; and his wife was unnecessarily kind to me from the day I set my little feet in a place of my own for the first time. To be honest? He and she were like my parents: they fed me, housed, me, watered me several times daily; and I regret any second I allowed my inherent rudeness to emerge from my mind's cages to pollute the fine atmosphere I was by their altruism afforded." -- As Ayla was speaking I moved gradually closer to her pretty lips; I have been entranced; and I do wish for dynamite.Download Sherry Mellor - Specifically Her Cuteness (Cheers, Lessov)
