    Summary

    "Those frivolous things distract," Eloise was angered. How could a woman, who had read such a treatise from one of their own, not understand the intent of her words?
    Eloise leans forward, "Spending so much energy and time on painting and embroidering and other pretty chores just for the attention of a man. That they may deign to take up the burden that is marriage and children. What is a dowry if not a bribe from a father to a husband to rid himself of an unwanted daughter?"
    As Eloise continued, her voice did not rise in volume, but it did in temperature. The lady's eyebrow rose higher and higher. She did not interrupt Eloise, but at the end of the eloquent speech, her eyes gained an understanding with a pitying expression. "Now I understand why you like this work," she tapped her hand on the stacked books, "You just like this author, hate women. You envision yourself as superior."
    Eloise choked in shock from the conclusion reached.

    OR

    I make myself feel better about Eloise's character flaws and season three's missteps.

    Summary

    Zalika Chideya comes to live with her aunt Lady Danbury after the death of her parents. She puts the past behind her in order to become a most proper debutante. Her affection for all sexes and genders makes it difficult to focus on finding a husband as she gains feelings for both Eloise's Footman John and a gorgeous Korean debutante named Dasom. There is no way such a lady could return her feelings in such an age, and it is improper to love a footman. Pushing her feelings down, she decides to pursue Benedict Bridgerton as the two have bonded over all things artistic.

    Summary

    The camera clicks. Once. Twice. Then again and again. 

    He looks at her when she moves on. Their eyes meet for a split second. Nothing more. Just the fraction of a moment. 

    It is enough. 

    He fucks her in a supply closet that night, whispers filthy words into her ear until she comes, spasming around him. 

    They pretend it never happened, of course.

    Summary

    It was never supposed to happen like this.
    The secret identity, the scandal, the child.

    When Colin overhears Eloise accusing Penelope of being Lady Whistledown, everything unravels—and yet, it all begins. Because Colin already knows. He’s known everything, including what they shared in a moment of reckless intimacy, and what Penelope may now carry because of it. As whispers stir and old loyalties fracture, Colin takes her hand and vows to make things right before society, before their families, before the truth burns them both.

    Summary

    Loss is always bitter — a slow poison that seeps into the bones, leaving the heart raw and ragged. But this time, it wasn’t just any loss. It was a tearing, a hollowing out from the inside. She wasn’t only losing someone she loved — she was losing herself.

    Summary

    When the Medici family, Duchess Marie and her twin daughters, Caterina and Teresa, leave their serene Italian estate for the glittering chaos of London, they are thrust into the heart of British high society.

    Named the Diamonds of the Season by the Queen at their very first ball, the sisters are immediately thrust into the whirlwind of high society’s glittering world.
    But beneath the surface of this dazzling debut lies Caterina’s true intent: she's searching for a wealthy suitor, not romance.
    Her heart bears the weight of past heartbreak and scandal. Haunted by the memories, she struggles with guilt and distrust in matters of the heart.

    Enter Benedict Bridgerton, a man who defies Caterina’s expectations. Charming and passionate, Benedict finds himself irresistibly drawn to Caterina.
    Their first encounter is a serendipitous clash of worlds, setting the stage for a connection neither anticipated. But as their lives entwine, their shared passion becomes both a bridge and a barrier.

    Amidst the glittering balls and whispered gossip of the ton, can Caterina and Benedict overcome their personal barriers and embrace the bonds they’ve forged? Or will their pasts keep them apart?

    Summary

    Dearest Gentle Reader,

    This season’s most captivating tale begins not with a debutante’s fluttering fan, but with the quiet collision of two unlikely gentlemen. His Grace Lewis Hamilton, Duke of Silverstone, lofty in rank and reputation, is a man whose restraint rivals the impeccable cut of his cravat. Yet he finds himself unsettled by the future Viscount of Sainte Dévote, Honourable Mr Nico Rosberg—newly returned from abroad, fluent in four tongues, and wielding diplomacy as though it were society’s sharpest weapon.

    What begins with glances and unspoken tension soon drifts into perilous waters. For though one commands the higher station, both possess a presence too commanding to be easily subdued.

    And so, my dear reader, I ask: will these gentlemen master themselves beneath society’s gaze, or will their greatest scandal be that they cannot master each other?

    (Update schedule: Mondays, after midnight CT)

    Summary

    The Bridgerton family was no ordinary family. There was something about them that puzzled the entire town, but no one could figure out what was wrong with them. There were moments when something seemed off. Like their behavior—one moment they were happy, the next furious. Not everyone, however, usually experienced sudden changes in behavior in men.

    Everything about this family was sudden, a sudden appearance years ago (200, referring to their ancestors), the sudden death of the viscount, a sudden change of residence (after Edmund's death, they moved to the countryside), and a sudden return (Daphne's debut).

    Penelope had been friends with Bridgerton for as long as she could remember. Her family moved to Ireland, and she became Lady Danbury's ward.

    This allowed her to visit her friends, but like Bridgerton, she too harbors a secret, and more than one.

    Summary

    Lady Y/N Ashbourne was never meant to return to London. Not after her family’s disgrace, not after the duel that nearly destroyed her brother, and certainly not after ten years of silence from the very people who once called her their own. But when the Season begins and the pressure to reclaim her name becomes too great to ignore, she enters the ballroom with her chin high, her gloves spotless, and her secrets buried deep.

    She expects whispers. She expects rejection. She does not expect the Viscount.

    Anthony Bridgerton has no time for sentiment, and even less for scandal—but when he sees Y/N again, no longer the stubborn girl chasing her brother through the gardens of Aubrey Hall, but a composed and wounded woman standing alone, he makes a decision that surprises everyone, himself most of all.

    A marriage of convenience, inked in silence and necessity.
    But beneath the terms of the contract lie a decade of unspoken words, old regrets, and something else neither of them dares to name.

    Because love was never part of the arrangement.
    Until, somehow, it is.

    Summary

    “Is this some poorly disguised attempt at courtship?” Blair casts her most condescending look upon him. “If it is, I beseech you to desist at once, for I do not associate with the likes of you — namely, boys with…ridiculous hair, dubious lineages and laughably enormous egos.”

    He blinks back in stunned silence at the bluntness of her words — but not for long.

    “I do not happen to be looking for a wife, but even if I were — ” the curly-haired heathen scoffs. “I’d surely court a lady with a far more…pleasant disposition.”

     

    (Bridgerton Dair AU: Desperate to escape her impending engagement with Charles Bass, the Duke of Sussex — Blair Waldorf will stop at nothing. Even if it means hunting down the secret identity of London’s most enigmatic writer — the infamous Lady Whistledown herself.)

    Summary

    Después de la mañana más hermosa de toda su vida Penélope Bridgerton supo lo que era ser rechazada por la persona que amaba. Su ahora esposo, Colin.
    Hay que agregar que nunca se consumó el matrimonio. Ni antes ni después de la boda. Casi lo hacen, tuvieron varias oportunidades para demostrarse la pasión que uno sentía por el otro, pero el mismo Colin se contuvo para no llegar más lejos. Ella se merecía que la amara a plenitud cuando la desposara, cuando fuera su mujer en toda la extensión de la palabra.
    ¿Qué pasará cuando él le diga que tramitará anulación? ¿Qué sentirá él cuando Penélope la acepte de inmediato asegurándole que no la objetará y qué le desea lo mejor?
    Sorpresa. Colin se vio con la documentación en la mano en donde su esposa no le exigía absolutamente nada, y al frente suyo, la mujer dueña de su corazón se erguía digna aceptando la separación.
    Y ahora era ella quien no lo miraba.
    ¿Colin permitirá que ella se vaya, así como así? ¿Cuál será la actitud de Penélope de aquí en adelante?
