Summary
A passionate honeymoon, a long-awaited pregnancy, and a devastating loss that nearly breaks them before they’ve even begun.
Kate and Anthony’s love survives the unimaginable, but healing is its own long road. Now, as they grieve, grow, and learn to hope again, their marriage is slowly remade through quiet mornings, fierce devotion, and Anthony’s increasingly ridiculous plans to spoil his wife senseless. The family grieves and grows with them, and the siblings begin to find their own ways to happiness again.
Set right after S2’s engagement scene. I had to give our favorite couple and their families the stories they deserved 👀

Summary
In which Anthony Bridgerton is a paleontologist who goes in search of dinosaur DNA, and finds more than he bargained for along the way.
Or
An enemies-to-lovers, love triangle romance. With dinosaurs. Started as a joke on Discord, got a bit carried away 🤣
–
The only really gory bit is marked and easy to avoid.
For reference, I'm picturing the characters at their actors' real ages, so Anthony is late 30s, Kate is early 30s and Eddie is late 20s, something like that?

Summary
“Puede que para usted el matrimonio sea un negocio, pero para mí, no lo es. Seguramente piense que esta es la mejor opción para ambos, pero solo está aquí por su extremo sentido del deber y un matrimonio que empieza así no tiene buen futuro”
Anthony y Penélope no eligieron casarse, tenían tantas cosas en contra y varios años después, lo único que comparten es una cama, un apellido… y un aparente resentimiento cuidadosamente cultivado.
Hasta que un día, ambos despiertan con una segunda oportunidad.
Pero cambiar el pasado no es tan fácil, cuando lo que duele no es lo que pasó… sino lo que pudo haber sido.
Esto es Penthony, si no te gusta, no lo leas.

Summary
Lord Anthony Bridgerton was rejected by his mistress, left at the altar by Miss Edwina Sharma, and turned down twice more by her sister for good measure.
Penelope Featherington didn’t have a single suitor until her third season, was passed over by Lord Debling, and only to have her engagement to Colin Bridgerton fall apart soon after.
They weren’t merely unlucky in love and romance.
They were spectacularly bad at it.*Pen/Anthony HEA - If you don't like this ship, just skip.*

Summary
All Anthony Bridgerton wanted to do was to turn the highly acclaimed adventure romance trilogy of the decade, “The Sword and the Heart,” into a cinematic masterpiece. However, that task proved to be quite challenging when his leading actress, Kate Sharma, turned out to be the most unbearable woman he had ever encountered.
And perhaps, to make matters worse, when Colin and his so-called platonic friend Penelope Featherington started displaying such intense chemistry both on and off screen, fans started demanding a revision of the original story.

Summary
“When I took your hand to assure you I was unharmed from the bee sting, you – you looked at me. When I was trying to shoot a gun, you took it upon yourself to manhandle me and you looked at me. And now, I am trying my utmost to understand you, understand your past, and you…” She trails off, unable to keep going, and Anthony wonders if she is so distraught because of the storm or because of all their near-misses and almost-kisses.
“Have you not looked back?” Anthony asks, abandoning his pretences of decorum, for it is evident that Kate is not maintaining hers. “Every single time, are you truly telling me you felt nothing in return? Because if you did… if you felt nothing, tell me right now and I will walk away and we can agree that this conversation never happened.”
Set during and after the 2x04 library scene. What if Kate didn't walk away from Anthony when she did?

Summary
Before he became the duty-bound Viscount seeking a perfect wife, Anthony Bridgerton was a shattered young man barely holding himself together. Before she sharpened her quill as Lady Whistledown, Penelope Featherington was a quiet girl whose greatest champion was the late Edmund Bridgerton.
An encounter steeped in grief and fear binds their stories together in ways only they understand, setting the stage for years of unspoken history and unexpected feelings. Through grief, pain, and misplaced anger, their paths continue to cross until, eventually, they collide. -

Summary
“Can you read latin? What does this mean?” he asked, taking the stone with his other hand and bringing it close to her face, she seemed distrustful of him, but she also obliged him, probably because she too wanted to run away from the consequences of their present reality.
“It means… Take one regret back.” She whispered, saddened again, “I would have been honest with my family.” She mumbled, her voice dripping with guilt.
“I would have never courted Miss Edwina.” He confessed, voice choked with honesty and desperation, her big eyes went to his and she seemed taken aback. As she opened her mouth to question him, the ground started to move and things around them startled falling from the shelves. Anthony moved closer to Kate and gathered her in his arms, trying to protect her and before he could ask her if she felt like something changed, he blinked and the earth stopped moving, but most importantly, he wasn’t in a closet on his wedding day anymore.
He was at the Queen’s ball, at the start of the season. -

Summary
Who is Miss Sophia Shu-Mei Beckett?
It is the season of 1812 and at the Bridgerton masquerade ball a mysterious woman in silver enchants the ton, then disappears as quickly as moonlight flees from dawn.
Sophia Shu-Mei Beckett dons a silver dress and attends a ball to support a friend but finds herself conversing with a mysterious gentleman with the soul of an artist.
Benedict Bridgerton is left haunted by a Lady whose smile enraptured him far more than her silver skirt.
In fairytales the two would reunite and live happily ever after. But Sophia Beckett knows that illegitimate children of noblemen and maids do not get fairytale endings, and so the lovers are left only with the memory of a moonlit kiss on their lips.
*~*~*~*~*
It is 1815, not even a year since Simon Hasting’s death in his country study, when Daphne Hastings finds a bundle of papers revolving around one Miss Sophia Beckett.
Sophie knows not to dwell in the past, but as she returns to London the currents of past and present, love and loss draw Sophie and Benedict closer and closer together—no matter the risk, no matter the cost.

“Anthony,” she hisses, “what on Earth—”

Summary
Anthony Bridgerton is many things - a viscount, a brother, a man of duty. But reasonable? Not when his best friend starts courting his sister.
To prove how utterly maddening it is to witness such a betrayal up close - and in dire need of a distraction, or so his mother tells him - he concocts a plan that is equal parts ridiculous and brilliant:
He will publically court Penelope Featherington.

Summary
"Penelope! Are you listening to me at all!" Penelope's mother raged. I turned to her and did my best customer service smile and genuine good girl eye tricks.
"Mother, my apologies. Today, my mind seems to wish to ponder it must be very trying for you. I shall endeavor to pay thee more attention." I say in my softest fake,"I care about you" tone.
*************************************************************************************************************
I do not own the series or books. I am not going to be too faithful to the storyline so think of it as an AU where everything is messy. lol Penelope SI (transmigrated OC more like)

Summary
Anthony is not prepared for the maelstrom that erupts inside him. Dorset, again? At a soiree that Anthony himself had not been invited to, and yet Miss Sharma had extended an invitation to Thomas Dorset - a man who had played her false! - ignoring, of course, that this had been entirely at Anthony’s own request.
He feels hot and cold all over. Is this confirmation, then, that Dorset is earnestly pursuing Miss Sharma? It will not do. He is sure they are ill-suited to each other.
or: Dorset starts to court Kate in earnest after the races. Anthony, predictably, takes this incredibly badly. Things unravel from there.

Summary
Of course she knows of Bridgerton, who doesn't at this day and age? Her friend has been hounding her to watch the series but did she watch it? NO. So, imagine her reaction when she wakes up and finds out that she was in Regency London, the Bridgerton one at that.
What was a girl supposed to do? Enjoy her money of course.
Huh, wait a minute– isn't that Fiyero? So this was a musical then?
