Saoirse Carroway had never belonged to the glittering world of ballrooms and whispered scandal. Her Irish lilt was deemed too bold for London drawing rooms, her wit too sharp for men who preferred their women pliant, and her fingers-more often stained with ink than occupied by polite embroidery-betrayed a mind unwilling to be idle. She was keenly aware of the way the ton observed her: as though she were a curiosity, clever but misplaced, a spark where only soft candlelight was permitted. Benedict Bridgerton, newly returned to Cambridge for his second year, found himself suspended between expectation and longing. Distance from his formidable family granted him a rare and intoxicating freedom. No watchful mamas. No speculative glances. No ever-present hum of society dictating who he must become. Though parted from his beloved easel, he felt the first true stirrings of a different kind of artistry-one not confined to canvas, but etched instead in fleeting conversations and stolen moments. And when their paths crossed-her defiance meeting his restless yearning-it was not society that took notice first. It was their hearts.

Benedict Bridgerton longs for more than society's expectations, drawn instead to art and freedom. Y/N, a fiercely talented but struggling artist, fights for recognition in a world that dismisses women of her class. When their paths cross, fascination sparks-a shared passion for art bridging the divide between privilege and survival. But their growing connection threatens them both in a world where reputation is everything. As scandal looms and duty calls, they must choose: conform to society's rules or risk everything for love, ambition, and the art that brought them together.

A slow burn fic where Benedict is reunited with an ex-lover and discovers his whole world has changed. Regency 18+ Explicit Romance set in the world of Bridgerton.

״I fell in love with him at first sight. From the very first day. And I continued to love him always, even when he didn't pay me any attention. I waited and hoped that he would choose me when we grew older. But he chose not me, but my cousin. And my jealousy completely drove me mad. I was there all the time, supporting him, laughing at his jokes, but he just didn't see me as a woman. Yet he saw her in Marina, whom he had known for only a couple of days. And even her secret didn't stop him. He was ready to lay the whole world at her feet. I had grown accustomed to the fact that my family didn't care about me, that my voice meant nothing in society. But I thought I had him. It turned out that all this time I was nothing to him. Just like to everyone else. But this became the last straw for me. And I decided that no one would dare to underestimate me anymore. So I began to write. I poured all my anger, all my pain, everything that had been building up inside me into my articles. And people liked it. So I continued to write. And I didn't notice how my articles began to bring pain to others...״ P.S: October 19, 00:49. I've finished the last line of this story. I don't remember how many chapters I initially planned, but it ended up being 40! This is the longest and most intricate story I've ever come up with and written, and I'm incredibly proud of myself. A huge thank you to everyone who reads and shares their thoughts about this story. Without you, it would most likely have become yet another abandoned project (and trust me, that almost happened, but your comments saved everything). Now, the chapters will be released a bit earlier, and there are still 15 more chapters ahead. The final one will come out on November 16, 2024. Meanwhile, I'll be preparing a new story for you.

Sophia Badger always envied those born as elites, attending balls and wearing fancy dresses. She's spent her life trying to get there; from falsifying legal documents to get into finishing school to learning how to sew her own dresses. Still, without any guardian to watch over her, she is now stealing and thieving to stay upright. One particular night, Sophia finds herself chased by the cops, and ends up in the Bridgerton's garden, where she runs headfirst into a green-eyed gentleman. To her surprise, he is more than happy to help her out and bring some action into his own unfulfilled life. In the weeks following their meeting, secrets unravel themselves and relationships form. Both Benedict and Sophia have one goal; to find out who they really are, and as it seems, they might just find each other in that process too.

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
