Childermass/Norrell in a Fingersmith/The Handmaiden AU

With Childermass as the poor young thief and Norrell as the wealthy but naive reclusive bachelor. Lascelles as the unscrupulous gentleman who plots to woo and marry Norrell before ensconcing him in an asylum and taking his inheritance for himself (I'm thinking this could be a world where equal marriage is a thing and there is no stigma directed at same-sex couples.)
Lascelles knows Childermass somehow, lets him in on his plan to seduce Norrell and convinces him to pose as Norrell's new personal servant, with a promise of a cut of the profit once Norrell is in the asylum. All Childermass has to do is to help convince his new master to accept Lascelles' proposal. Instead, Childermass falls in love with Norrell. And now he can't go through with the plan...
