Rules are the very foundation of Regency London. Everyone is raised to them, and they understand their role, their purpose. A young marriageable lady must make the best choice for her future and her family. A young lord must make the best selection for healthy heirs and a sizeable dowry. Enter Hermione Granger. Having previously avoided a number of seasons, she knows that if she is to achieve her dreams, she must make a match, and quickly, lest her secret become too much for gossip to handle. An advantageous match, made quickly, can save her from becoming a Spinster, and allow her the life she desires. She must attract attention... but only the right kind. Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy, Duke of Wiltshire, has no interest in marrying. In fact, the very last thing he wants is to attract the attention of any woman - but, it seems as though his friends will no longer allow him to sit outside of society, brooding far away from his responsibility. They insist he must court, if not wed. The answer, when it falls into his lap, is Hermione Granger. If only their arrangement had stayed as such... DRAMIONE BRIDGERTON AU...

When Miss Florence Whitmore returns to London after eleven years in the colonies, the ton hardly knows what to make of her. Once a child of polite society, she is now a trained midwife, shaped by life and loss beyond ballrooms and drawing rooms - intelligent, independent, and dangerously unafraid to speak her mind. Benedict Bridgerton, an artist and reluctant participant in the marriage mart, has never desired a conventional future. But when duty draws him back into society's gaze, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to the most unconventional woman of the season. In a world ruled by reputation and whispers, their connection is as undeniable as it is perilous. And as Lady Whistledown's pen sharpens, Benedict must decide whether to remain safely within society's lines - or risk everything for a woman who was never meant to fit inside them. 💌

She was only twelve when Violet Bridgerton took her in-just for one night, they said. But one night became a lifetime. Raised alongside the Bridgerton siblings, she grew up in their home, their hearts, and under the ever-watchful gaze of Anthony Bridgerton-the heir, the protector, the one man she was never supposed to fall for. Now on the edge of womanhood, she's ready to step into Society. But Anthony isn't ready to let her go-not into the world, and certainly not into the arms of another man. Because she was his to protect. Always had been. Maybe... always would be.

March 1912 - a baby is abandoned at the doors of Downton Abbey. Servant Thomas Barrow agrees to claim paternity for the foundling. The story mainly revolves around Thomas and his daughter, but the other characters also play a role in every chapter. The characters don't belong to me, only the OC does. I always appreciate feedback and I'm happy to incorporate your suggestions. The goal is to have Emma grow up alongside the events of the series. Accordingly, the story is divided into 6 parts.

Dahlia Bridgerton was not meant to be the diamond of the season. Fate decided that honor belonged to her twin, shining effortlessly beneath the watchful eye of London. Yet while society's gaze followed one sister, it was the other who quietly captured the attention of half the ton, including a visiting prince. Reserved, sharp-tongued, and far less interested in playing the marriage mart's games, Dahlia soon finds herself entangled in whispered speculation, sibling rivalry, and a courtship neither she nor the city of London saw coming. //revising as i go bridgerton ; prince friedrich x fm!oc season 1 © VOIDEDSLYTHERIN, 2026
