The one thing I look for in Pride and Prejudice fic is femslash.

Character/Pairing: Anne de Bourgh/Charlotte Lucas, Elizabeth Bennet & Charlotte Lucas
Charlotte Lucas
Word Count: 1003
Summary: "Charlotte Collins falls in love (not, it need hardly be said, with her husband)."
Why I Rec This Fic: Charlottes feels very queer in text, and this unspoken feelings/internalized homophobia breaks my heart.
Charlotte Lucas/Elizabeth Bennet

Fandom: Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Character/Pairing: Charlotte Lucas/Elizabeth Bennet
Word Count: 516
Summary: "Elizabeth writes her friend Charlotte a letter a week after she visits her and Mr. Collins at their new home"
Why I Rec this fic: the classic take on this (kind of) ship is pining Charlotte so its cool to see a role reversal in this.
Title: In Another Life, You and I by Silvereye

Title: Housekeeping by onedogtown
Fandom: Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Character/Pairing: Charlotte Lucas/Elizabeth Bennet, Elizabeth Bennet/Fitzwilliam Darcy
Elizabeth Bennet, Fitzwilliam Darcy
Word Count: 2603
Summary: "A conversation between Mr. and Mrs. Darcy, some weeks after their marriage."
Why I Rec this fic: I love this a bit more mature Elizabeth and how her growth change her relationship.
Time had given her both distance and a new interest; now Elizabeth could pick through the details of housekeeping and Mr. Collins’s amiable nature to understand a little more of Charlotte’s true thoughts. They had not been as far apart from her as she had assumed; often she was struck by Charlotte’s noting a particular path that she thought that Elizabeth would like to walk in, or mentioning a piece of ridiculous village gossip which she must have known that her friend would have delighted to hear, and more sentences than she remembered were addressed to “dear Eliza”. Rooms were described, and the business of maintaining a home, but very few other people; Elizabeth thought that Charlotte must have been alone very often. Considering the company this was, perhaps, not unwanted; and yet it must have been an odd change for her.
Title: The riches of Flora are lavishly strown by ChronicBookworm

Elizabeth Bennet, Charlotte Lucas
Word Count: 2684
Summary: "After Mr Collins dies, Elizabeth invites Charlotte to stay with her. This is a selection of the letters sent to and from Pemberley during this time."
Why I Rec this fic: I love Epistolary fic and I love Charlotte finding happiness (realizing that happiness and real companionship is something she can have) I love Lizzie being happy and non-angsty about being queer and sharing her happiness with her sister and friends even if society wasnt friendly to them, and I love the detail of Lizzie still seeing Georgie as shy and related Charlotte not wanting to go back to her parents home where they will see her as they saw her before she married.
