Anofferfromagentleman Stories

A fanfiction reimagining of Benedict Bridgerton's story from An Offer from a Gentleman Sophie Beckett has carved a life for herself in the countryside-quiet, creative, and finally her own. But when her father dies, she is summoned to London not as herself, but as the name she thought she had shed: Sebastian, the heir to an earldom that never belonged to her soul. In the glittering world of debutantes and duty, Sophie is forced to navigate society's expectations while hiding in plain sight. And then she meets Benedict Bridgerton. What begins as a friendship rooted in shared artistic longing soon becomes something deeper-and far more dangerous. Benedict sees not just Sebastian, but the woman Sophie has always been. Loving her could cost them both everything. Becoming Sophie is a gender-expansive retelling of Benedict's story-a tender romance about identity, longing, and what it means to live as a trans woman in a world that has no name for who she is... but might, if she's brave enough, learn to see her.

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.
