What happens when you throw Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy into an alternate English history with unexpected battles, changed fortunes, and no room for declarations of love? This week, Alicia and Emilie dive into Do You Love Me?, a reimagining that picks up post-Hunsford Proposal and plunges our favorite couple into a world turned upside-down by an unexpected French invasion. 

 

Darcy’s still head over heels (but stuck on mute), and Elizabeth? She’s navigating her new life as a paid companion—until fate brings them back together. We discuss everything from what makes a deep and meaningful conversation, to whether being crossed in love is, tragically, part of the human condition. And should Elizabeth be concerned about gossip? Oh, and of course, we had to tackle the age-old question: how soon is too soon to say “I love you”? ❤️

 

If you’ve ever dreamed of Darcy and Elizabeth teaming up against the odds—or wondered how Jane Austen’s world might feel with a slightly different history—this one’s for you.
