Benedict Bridgerton falls head over heels in love with a woman he meets at Madame Delacroix. Their relationship however, is impossible to maintain, according to society's standards because Alina Kennedy is a poor seamstress and Benedict is forced to make a decision between his heart and what is 'right' according to the world he lives in.

This is loosely based on Benedict's book, "An Offer of a Gentleman' but Alina is nowhere near on the same social 'ladder' as Sophie is. I will take some creative and historical liberties because looking things up takes too much time.All Rights Reserved

First Impressions // A Bridgerton Story by Audelia01

After spending years as one of the most notorious rakes of the ton, Anthony Bridgerton has decided it's time to settle down and carry on the family line. He knows love exists, because his parents were a shining example of a loving, happy marriage. Still, he has no intentions of falling in love with his intended bride. Anthony's father died quite young, so Anthony believes, albeit irrationally, that he will die young too. Falling in love is a complication he doesn't need in his already too short life, so he sets out to court the beauty who is the latest toast of the ton. She is a woman who meets his requirements for a wife, but with whom he could never see himself falling in love. Anthony just didn't count on the infuriating lady stirring his desires in a way no other woman ever has. Amelia Windsor has no intention of allowing Anthony Bridgerton anywhere near herself. She vows to do whatever it takes to interfere with the rakish viscount's courtship, but in the process manages to unintentionally get herself into some outlandish situations, which also place her into close proximity with the man himself. Her encounters with Anthony leave her hot and bothered and feeling confused. But outside forces draw the two apart. Princess Amelia is engaged to King of Spain, while Anthony is forcefully engaged to Miss Edwina Sharma. Neither are a love match. Can the two break free of their chains and reunite? Or will they forever be held in place by their mistakes, regrets, and societal expectations? We shall find out, my gentle reader. #2 lovesquare

In which Isabela runs from her home in search of quiet and a new mindset. In search of hope and love. She finds herself in her aunt's home, the Queen of England, hoping that her aunt and her 'subjetcs' will be quiet and loving enough to accept the heir as she goes through the mourning of her family, and prepares herself to her new life as the Queen of Spain. What the Princess was looking for was for guidance in how to become true royalty form her Aunt Charlotte, but she also yearned to find her one true love, as her mother hoped for her to do. What she did not intend to find was a stubborn girl who thought she was above anyone else and thought of love and marriage as something compared to sending cattle off to slaughter. She especially did not expect to be quite fond of this certain girl.

"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

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐄 difference between a sin and a clandestine longing? A yearning that pulses silently beneath the surface, sheltered away from a place where love is tightly defined and drawn by ancient hands. Can a heart so full and so pure truly be blamed as sinful? Or is the true sin in the unspoken truth that binds them to stare across ballrooms? Siena DeLuca would have never imagined that one's heart could stray so far from the paths taught to follow. Her rebellion and often misunderstood ideals had never ventured so far as to imagine herself dipping her toes into forbidden places. But Eloise Bridgerton surely is a spark in the darkness- a wildfire that refuses to be tamed. She is the ocean's tide that pulls her to uncharted shores, leaves her wondering if she even cares about being a castaway from a society that has terribly failed at comprehending them. So, if it is a sin, must they sincerely care if they are sinners? BOOK 1 OF THE: 『 BETWEEN THE FOLDS OF MY LETTERS 』SERIES!

✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ 𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐘𝐎𝐔 *ੈ✩‧₊˚ 𝟎𝟎𝟎. Victoria Fernsby's arrival into London society impressed everyone. Even though she had a sweet smile, people might wonder about her kindness. 𝟎𝟎𝟎. Known as a heartbreaker, the young woman amazed people with her sharp tongue and questionable temperament and when she arrived in the centre of England, she was going to win over someone in particular. 𝟎𝟎𝟎. The Bridgerton Family could be a good target and if Benedict Bridgerton was available and interested, Victoria would be a great choice. 𝟎𝟎𝟎. As Lady Whistledown would say, although she didn't want to, this season could be the perfect one for Victoria to find a good marriage and, besides, messing with Benedict's mind with lots of colour wouldn't be a bad idea.
