A modern lesbian re-telling of Pride and Prejudice. Madeline Darcy is the spoiled heiress to Midori Enterprises, her family's business. Francesca Bennet is living in a two-bed apartment with her sister and son, working two jobs to pay the rent. They have absolutely nothing in common, except for a friend, Gates Bingley, and a tendency to judge on first impressions. An hour after their first encounter, both women have sworn to detest each other. Frankie thinks Madeline Darcy is an uptight, proud woman with nothing more in her head than vanity, and Madeline thinks Frankie Bennet is a rude, opinionated woman with no class. Over the course of one intense year, the two are thrown together more often than they'd like. Between interfering exes, scheming best friends, mischievous sisters, and stubbornness, Frankie and Maddie have some turbulent waters to navigate. Will they look past their first impressions? Can they grow to like each other? Will gossip and rumours get in the way? Join these two stubborn disasters as they take their journey.

Look, I'm not at all a serious sort of person, and a bunch of weird ideas go through my head while writing a series this long. I've never even written a series before and certainly not one that's gotten as much attention as this one. So anyways, seeing as a lot of people ask questions about The Empress Saga, and because I'm an incurable idiot, I thought it might be fun to have something here where I can talk a bit about the series and also throw in the funny ways things might have gone. Also memes. Maybe a deleted and/or alternate scene or two while I'm at it.
