There's Doodles of Rams in the Margins? (Jschlatt x Reader) - UPCOMING
As a perpetually single relationship columnist living in 21st century Los Angeles where romance seems to be dead and gone, you've always found yourself unable to fully let your guard down around men and believe in love. This trait of yours only grew to be further justified after your lifelong best friend and roommate Shae dragged you along with to an influencer party, resulting in you butting heads with a man known as Jschlatt. Seeming to embody everything you hate about men and social media stars, your prejudice against him and his insufferable pride clash at every given moment. You would love nothing more than to rid your life of him forever. However, much to your chagrin, fate seems intent on keeping the two of you as close together as possible -- LA rent isn't cheap. With Shae's long time plan to move in with Ted and the great difficulties that come with finding a roommate as a mostly-friendless recent immigrant, you'd be a fool not mutually benefit from letting the wealthy man experiencing housing issues stay with you short term. It's not like it'll mean anything, it's just for a few months. Your disdain for each other is mutual anyways, right?
Inspired by Pride and Prejudice (book, movie, and BBC adaptation since I'm obsessed with all), the modern P&P adaptation Bridget Jones' Diary, and hints of Sex and the City.
Main Cast (so far):
Other people will make appearances, this is just the main cast. Other sisters, Mr. Collins, and Lady de Bourgh removed for ease of writing and inability to cast them well without having many oc's.
Y/n -> Elizabeth Bennet
Shae -> Jane Bennet
Jschlatt -> Mr. Darcy
Ted Nivison -> Mr. Bingley
Hasan -> Mr. Wickham (adjacent)
Slimecicle -> (bestie version of) Georgiana Darcy
