Tom laughed, allowing himself another few seconds before sighing and pushing himself back up into a sitting position. He dragged his arm across his forehead and slumped forward, still chuckling. “I’ll be fine. Water was my next stop. Sorry, I didn’t realize pretty girls could claim public couches as their own. I might’ve gotten a bit of sweat on it.”
He made a show of wiping the spot his head had previously occupied before patting it, inviting her to sit. “All better.”
writing this muse is hilarious bc it has to seem like i’m trying to ship with literally everyone i’m writing with, but he’s just such a shameless flirty bastard. pls pls always feel free to have your muse reject this fucker. js. he probably needs it anyway.
*casually fucks up every good thing that happens to me*
yo this is a reminder that if you ever come up with a neat idea for our muses to interact - whether it’s canon or au - talk to me about it because chances are I will be 500% down to do the thing
“how’s the semester going?”
Twenty favorite movie characters (in no particular order): Tom Lefroy.
“I have no money, no property, I am entirely dependent upon that bizarre old lunatic, my uncle. I cannot yet offer marriage, but you must know what I feel. Jane, I’m yours. God, I’m yours. I’m yours, heart and soul. Much good that is.”

Becoming Jane, 2007
She is lovely, Tom.
Tom chuckled. “I care little for the regard of society, Miss... What was it again?” He leaned against the door frame with his arms crossed over his chest, wondering how many times she would interrupt herself with a sniffle. “I’ve no intention of keeping you here for days, but I’m afraid I must insist-- At least until the weather clears, and your poor nose is a bit less red.”
“It gladdens my heart to hear it, Mister Lefroy!” Jane smiled back, twisting her head around with the dance steps so as to keep her eyes on her partner at all times. “So often it seems that people who visit from the cities are so easily bored by a simpler lifestyle in the country.”
A light flush brought on by the exercise brightened Jane’s already gleeful expression as the pairs stepped towards each other again to circle. Her fingers, encased in slender white gloves, brushed his for an instant before the ladies performed a graceful turn and found themselves on the opposite side of the room as they had began on.
“That sounds marvelous; I am sure Kitty and Lydia will be more excited than most at the thought of a stay in a big city like London!”
“Are they? They must be lacking in imagination.” His movements were effortless if a bit restrained from the sort of dancing to which he was accustomed. Still, he smirked to himself as he allowed his fingers to linger against the soft fabric encasing hers before she could pull away. He would not push himself where he was truly unwanted, but he enjoyed testing the limits of others.
He smiled warmly across the space between them. She truly was beautiful, in that classic sort of way. The color that had begun to flood her cheeks only enhanced that fact. “I shall write him tomorrow. I’m sure he’ll be pleased to learn that I’ve formed new acquaintances during my stay, rather than cause trouble.”
Tom sighed and pushed his laptop a few inches away as he leaned back in his chair to stretch. There were only two other people in the university library that he could see. He checked his phone for the time-- 12:36 am. Thank god for extended hours during finals week.
He continued to look around and stretch, giving his eyes and arms a rest from his computer. He was pondering how much fun James was having at the party he’d been forced to skip when he leaned back just a bit too far, and toppled backwards onto the floor, disrupting the silence of the library with a loud crash. Wonderful.
“Good Lord, did you walk here?” (HAI)
pride and prejudice sentence meme.
Tom lifted his head from the couch he had just sunken into to see if the stranger’s question was aimed at him. He was a panting, sweaty mess-- he had indeed walked all the way to the campus library from his apartment. He’d missed the bus and unfortunately decided to wear jeans on a day when the sun felt as though it could melt the sidewalk.
He chuckled and dropped his head back down, still attempting to catch his breath. “Is it that obvious?”
