  Summary

  It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife...

  This is exactly what it looks like. This is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen edited to be a BBC Sherlock x Reader.

  I'm like 99.9999999% sure Pride and Prejudice is in the public domain but just in case, none of this mine, I didn't write Pride and Prejudice. The relationships in this are not reflective of what I ship or think is canon, and vice-versa. Regardless, there were some relationships I didn't want to insinuate, so some characters aren't from Sherlock (they're closer to Austen's original characters).

  The character swaps are as follows:
  Elizabeth/You
  Darcy/Sherlock
  Jane/Mary
  Bingley/John
  Wickham/Moriarty
  Lydia/Eurus
  Collins/Tom
  Charlotte/Molly
  Mr Bennet/Original
  Mrs Bennet/Mrs Hudson
  Mary/Donovan
  Kitty/Anderson
  Caroline/Irene
  Georgiana/Rosie
  Fitzwilliam/Sebastian Moran
  Lady Catherine/Mycroft
  Mr Gardiner/Lestrade
  Mrs Gardiner/Original

  This might get confusing.
