They are married from the beginning and it takes them the whole novel to realize it.

There are three types of fictional men:

“You have bewitched me body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. And wish from this day forth never to be parted from you.”

“If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.”

“What excellent boiled potatoes!”

Mr Knightley is my favorite Austen hero for multiple reasons, but at core — y’all. He’s in charge of his own shit. He has his own estate which he runs so well he’s wealthy; he has no older relations to convince or consult before going his own way; he has no younger relations begging for money or, in fact, needing anything at all. He’s the most free, most independent person in any Austen novel —

And what does he do with that freedom? Exactly what he wants, which is to farm. To work. He has a lot of responsibilities and he looks after half the village — and he likes that; he’s good at it. He’s not internally warring with shoulds or oughts or if-onlys. Most other Austen characters are wrapped in invisible constraints that make me feel claustrophobic, but not Mr. Knightley.

He’s also so confident — not arrogant nor prideful, just confident. To me he seems content with who he is.

I think if you worked for him, he’d see that you have what you need to be successful, and then leave you alone — unless you weren’t reaching what he thought was your potential, and then he’d draw it out of you.

George Knightley: the only Austen character I’d like as an employer!

okay but THAT moment in emma adaptations when mr. knightley is about to propose and she thinks he’s talking about harriet but then he goes “my dear emma, for dearest you will always be...” and you can SEE how her face shifts as she slowly realizes that omg! he actually loves her! and it’s such a precious moment that has me giggling every time istg

First Kiss for each Austen Heroine Couple

Fitzwilliam Darcy & Elizabeth Bennet: after they were married, when no one else was around. Mr. Darcy does not do PDA.

Charles Bingley & Jane Bennet: they were making out behind a bush while Lady Catherine was scolding Elizabeth. Charles was just hoping for a single kiss, he modestly hadn't expected Jane to be so excited about it.

Anne Elliot & Captain Frederick Wentworth: there was smooching at 19 and 23, you cannot convince me there was not. At 27 and 31, they really thought they would be more mature, but honestly if they hadn't been married as rapidly as possible there would have been serious canoodling.

Catherine Morland & Henry Tilney: Catherine ran after Henry when he was about to leave Fullerton and very dramatically kissed him before he mounted his horse. Then they had to wait about six months to do it again. It was torment.

Emma Woodhouse & George Knightley: They kissed in the garden around Hartfield after getting engaged. No one knows who initiated it, but on reflection it was probably Emma.

Elinor Dashwood & Edward Ferrars: Marianne was trying to leave them in corners and behind trees the whole time Edward was staying at the cottage, which they found very amusing and took advantage of fully. The first kiss was out of doors, after their engagement.

Marianne Dashwood & Colonel Brandon: You know that Colonel Brandon was attempting to be a perfect gentleman and Marianne was trying to to be anything but a modest lady.

Fanny Price & Edmund Bertram: Despite ample opportunity and the feelings of the lady, not until they were in the bedroom after the wedding.

Bonus! Jane Fairfax & Frank Churchill: There was pre-engagement making out and Jane felt so bad about it, but couldn't help herself.

Bonus! Bonus! I would bet my bonnet that Jane Bennet was born not quite nine respectable months after her parent's marriage.
