THE ORIGINAL BRIDGERTON FANFICTION

Aurora Grey, only daughter of Earl Grey and new closest friend to Daphne Bridgerton is an energetic and thoroughly intellectual girl from the North. 

Much like the other ladies of the aristocracy, Aurora is dragged to London to endure the London Season - much to her despair.

Anthony Bridgerton has sworn that he will marry, albeit not for love. So what will happen when his mother suggests that he form a courtship with the seemingly impossible Lady Grey?

How will Aurora respond to her elder brother's preposterous suggestion that she find a husband in the most rude member of the Ton?

And will Anthony be able to stick to his vows?

The Immortal Story - Bridgerton by Cupcakecry

Dearest Gentle Reader... A new debutante has made her grand entrance midseason. Not only does she boast the title of lady, but she harbors a secretive lineage, born of a departed lord. Her presence has ensnared the attention of the ton, disrupting matches the Queen herself hath spurned. Perhaps she shall be the one to unseat her from her throne. Elsewise, the ton shall find itself once more devoid of its Diamond, and this Lady Whistledown shall not let such a spectacle pass unnoticed. If you do not support LGBTQIA+ rights and intend to grace my comments with vitriol and hatred, be assured you shall be promptly blocked.

Breathe | s.b | bridgerton by ri__writes

"Hold me close so I can finally... breathe" Marriage wasn't something Carina Bridgerton looked forward to. And true love was not something she dreamed of. She had declared it very clearly to her family that no marriage shall ever be expected from her entering into the season. Only, curse her luck, she had been named the royal jewel, along with her sister Daphne, the diamond. Now being an incomparable made both of them surrounded by suitors at every turn. And when she could finally breathe freely without having to be surrounded by climps from all directions, Anthony had decided to promise her to the biggest pig of them all. What happens when Carina and The Duke of Hastings lead the biggest scam of the season and fool the entire ton, only to find their relationship so much more than a sham. Inspired by 'Breathe' by James Arthur. (Book 1) (oc x simon basset) (bridgerton s1)

"You can't scare away every man who shows up at my door!" "I can damn well try." He kept his tone quiet as he stepped closer to her. "You have no idea of the grip you have on me Hanford and I'll be damned if you fall in love with someone who isn't me." Aurora Hanford was just hoping for the best outcome for her debut season. She didn't account for Benjamin Bridgerton to make a mess out of her life with little to no words. He presented himself in her life very prominently and the girl quickly grew fond of his watchful gaze and hushed words. Aurora found herself falling for the brooding man and he realized he was falling just as deeply. Neither expected their love to form as something more or to blossom as it quickly did. Their love was a fairytale in a world where true love unions were extremely rare. They had their naysayers, their supporters, but most importantly they had each other. Even if in the beginning, neither knew it just yet. FEM! OC x MALE! BRIDGERTON OC

[2] The Queen Mother of Württemberg | A. Bridgerton by f1royalty

All Is Fair In Love And War. Lord Anthony Bridgerton, the formidable head of the Bridgerton family, sets forth on a quest to secure a worthy spouse, driven solely by his unyielding duty to preserve the family's esteemed name. His pursuit of a debutante who can meet his exacting standards appears destined for failure until the arrival of the Sharma sisters from the exotic lands of India. Yet, as the Viscount endeavors to court Edwina, his heart and mind are ensnared by an unexpected distraction-the Queen Dowager of Württemberg, now globally recognized as the Queen Mother, Charlotte. Unbeknownst to Anthony, Charlotte harbors a conflicted heart; while she yearns for him to marry, she can't escape the fervent desire that it were her he chose. A lifetime of unspoken love lingers, and she regrets the moment she turned him away when he bared his feelings. As Anthony's courtship of Edwina unfolds, Kate uncovers the stark reality of his intentions-a genuine love match isn't high on his list of priorities-certainly not when she discovers of the Viscount and Queen Mother's past. Determined to shield her sister, Kate resolves to thwart the impending union. Amidst everyone's efforts, every encounter between Charlotte and Anthony draws them irresistibly closer, entwining their destinies in a complex web of emotions. This fanfic follows Season 2 of the Bridgerton Netflix series, based on the novel "The Viscount Who Love Me" by Julia Quinn.
