[DISCLAIMER]

I do not own anything related to the Bridgerton series, book or television wise. I only own my original characters. This book will be based on the show, but it will be heavily AU. The story will be more than romance and will focus on LGBTQ+ themes, family, trauma, and sexism in the regency era. That said, not all canon couples will become canon.

Warning: There will be mature content in this story, including: strong language, sexual connotations, and mature scenes.
