    Modern Day AU / Enemies to Lovers / NYC Setting

    Kate Sharma, co-founder of Chosen & Cherished, a charity that provides mentors to foster children in New York City, is presenting to a philanthropic committee at the Bridgerton Hotel for additional funding. Anthony Bridgerton, heir apparent to an empire of hotels and resorts spanning the globe, is apparently above listening to presentations about foster children. Handsome to the point of distraction? Check. Rude, privileged asshole? Check, check, check. And oh, how Kate *hates* him.

    Summary

    As Anthony carries an unconscious Kate towards a carriage down the road, he can't push away the rush of feelings that flood through him when he thinks of a world in which Kate does not exist.

     

    Or: my take on what happens during the journey from the park to Danbury's house in the beginning of episode 8 them being two emotional dorks during their courtship.

    Summary

    Newton dies of old age a few weeks before Christmas in 1822, and Anthony feels Aubrey Hall go strangely still, in a way that he has not for many years.

    He feels foolish at first for even thinking it — to compare the losses. But there is something similar in the stillness of mourning, in the agonizing silences that make his palms itch helplessly. There is something about hearing the heartbreaking cries of his second son echo down the hall from the nursery that makes a stone lodge in the pit of his stomach.

    It’s familiar, that is why he loathes it so.
