    Summary

    Sophia Beckett has been numbered among the Bridgerton family as long as anyone can remember. What started as an arrangement by Earl Richard Gunningworth with Viscount Edmund Bridgerton to get her from breathing room from his wife becomes a lifelong bond of adoption after Richard’s death.

    As Sophie grows older, she finds her relationship with the second son, Benedict drawing ever closer and soon a relationship of friendship and honorary siblinghood hints at something more. But when tragedy strikes, Sophie and Benedict must decide if they’re willing to risk all for their happily ever after.

    Basically Benedict and Sophie are childhood friends and dorks in love who are just about to get together, then Edmund dies, and everything goes to Hell in a handbasket.

    Summary

    “I am not asking you to marry my sister, my lord. I would not do either of you such an unkindness.” Kate shakes her head at the absurdity of the notion. "I have dissuaded my sister, after much conversation, from pursuing a marriage with you further. I have a plan to ensure our mamas and Lady Danbury dissolve the engagement amicably, without tarnishing our families’ names.”

    After the Sheffield dinner, Kate takes matters into her own hands.

    An AU where Kate agrees to end Edwina and Anthony's engagement, secures her family's future, and falls in love along the way. (Bonus: the wedding of my nightmares never takes place.)

    Summary

    “How do you do Miss Sharma?”
    “Very well,” She let her eyes flick to his insignia “Flight Lieutenant Bridgerton.”
    He clicked his tongue, something smug in his expression, as he leaned forward as though he was telling her a secret, “Oh pretty girls get to call me Anthony.”
    Kate leaned backwards, ignoring the way her heart fluttered in her chest, “I don’t think that’ll be necessary.”

    OR

    And she could have gone her whole life without wanting to see him again, until a pilot was brought in, suspected paralysis from the waist down, with no one any the wiser as to how he survived at all. And she looked at his sleeping face, hollow and gaunt and still so handsome, and her heart stuttered. Anthony Bridgerton.

    Summary

    "Anthony kept reassuring himself that there was a simple explanation for why he felt like he was perpetually on the back foot with Miss Sharma—it was because she had caught him off guard.  Her very presence in that park on the morning they first met, a solitary female, riding astride, was unexpected—scandalous, even.  When paired with her strong-willed nature and obvious, instant distrust of Anthony—distrust that he had almost immediately, and rather unfortunately, validated with his loose-lipped ramblings on the terrace at the Conservatory Ball—well, he had been put off balance, and had yet to fully recover."

    This story will tackle the questions we (or at least I) have been pondering for months. What if Benedict was not completely oblivious to what was going on between Kate and Anthony in Kent? What if Daphne shared her suspicions with someone? What if Mr. Dorset was invited to Aubrey Hall with the rest of the ton? What if Season 2 depicted a different love triangle, one that did not pit two sisters against one another?
