𝐷𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑅𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠， I have been sharping my quills in preparation for this years social season; which I ensure will be filled with as much gossip and drama as the last. The season of 1815 shall include new faces such as the daughters of the Earl of Somerset; with this being the first season for both these young ladies. 𝐿𝑎𝑑𝑦 𝑊ℎ𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑙𝑒𝑑𝑜𝑤𝑛'𝑠 𝑆𝑜𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑡𝑦 𝑃𝑎𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑠 The Earl of Somerset's two daughters were complete opposites. Whilst the youngest, Marie, was caring and delicate her elder sister was sharp tongued and witty. After being named diamond of the season, Marie catches Mr Benedict Bridgerton's eye; his eye for a respectable wife however his eye of lust and love fell upon Esther. The Earl was pushing for his daughters to marry, like every father st the time; however he hid a secret. It seemed destined that Marie would make a respectable match to fulfil her father's desperate needs but after a sudden turn if events, the pressure is layed upon Esther to marry before the season is through.

Emmeline Castillon is just a girl trying to survive her debut into London's high society. After having put it off for three years, she finally feels ready to put herself forward. Or her mother thinks she is ready. Though perhaps it is for the better, as she catches eyes with a certain Bridgerton, her first ball might not be the disaster she was thinking it was to be.

Diana Featherington is the only child of the younger brother of the Baron Featherington. With the passing of both parents Diana has lived with the Baron and his wife since the age of five. Living across the street from the Bridgerton family has allowed for Diana to become close friends with Daphne. Both girls are making their debut into society this social season. Diana has high hopes of finding a future husband. But the one man she really wants she may not be able to have.

As Colin Bridgerton is falling for Penelope Featherington, Benedict is also falling for a London season debutante. But though he is one of the ton's most eligible bachelors and has girls falling over themselves to dance with him, this is not a romance that blossoms in the ballroom, but in the quieter rooms of the grand houses of the season's hosts. Clara Marlowe has enough problems without a handsome stranger finding her in her hiding spot at Lady Danbury's ball, and enough suitors to try and forget him when he doesn't call on her the next morning. But by the second ball of the season it seems she cannot move on from him so easily. Set parallel to the events of season three. Basically Benedict being a hopeless romantic for 15k words. *also posted on ao3*

During a horse ride back home, Benedict Bridgerton had caught a high fever and passed out. A woman had saved him. Since then, he had been unable to let her go. Even though he had no clue who she was. Benedict Bridgerton <3

It is said that second-born sons have all the fun. This much is certainly true for Benedict Bridgerton, free from the burdens held by his eldest brother, the Viscount. One must wonder, how does the second eldest Bridgerton spend his time? To the ton's surprise, it seems a certain lady may have captured his attention this evening. Could Benedict Bridgerton, the tortured artist of the clan, finally find himself a reason to settle down? And could Madeleine Sinclair, who has until now, been doomed for a future of spinsterhood, finally find herself in a love match? ** this story may not chronologically follow the events of the show and things may be switched around in order to compliment the storyline **

|~1~| Eden Walseworth has finally returned to London, ready for her long-awaited reintroduction to society. On the cusp of being labeled a spinster by the ton, she's reluctantly thrust into the season by her overbearing older brother and spiteful aunt. Just as her chances of avoiding a loveless marriage appear bleak, an unexpected request for help from an old family friend presents a glimmer of hope. Seizing the opportunity to lessen her matrimonial prospects, Eden agrees-only to discover that the family in need includes none other than Benedict Bridgerton, a man with whom she has no intention of being civil. All rights of characters go to Julia Quinn (apart from the Walseworths).
