Love and Politics | Benedict Bridgerton x Reader
______________________
The regency era of the 19th century is filled with surprises and secrets...and monarchs. Secrets spread as Lady Whistledown's papers ravage the society of the ton, bringing many of the ton's ladies into the limelight, among them the infamous eldest female of the Bernadotte household.
Taking place in the year 1820, Y/n Dahlia Bernadotte is the eldest daughter of the six Bernadotte children. Preceded by three married brothers and followed by two sisters, she is one of the ton's most precariously well-known young ladies.
Having direct ties to the House of Bernadotte, the ruling monarchs of Sweden, the Bernadotte family are royals in their own right but live as normal high-class families amongst those of the ton.
However, her royal status only seems to get in the way as this year's season rolls around, when Y/n makes her grand entrance into society, forcing new tests and new deadlines upon her.
She must navigate through society, finding what she needs but still abiding by who she is to ensure that everyone is satisfied...and her family is not disgraced.

First Impressions // A Bridgerton Story
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.

The Beauty Of Rose
**DRAFT MOSTLY** FOR FANS OF BRIDGERTON Rose Axel is deformed from the burns she endured from her father. Her face is forever hidden under a veil. Her waist is much too wide, hips too ample. Too many prefer calling her fat. Or to her family, a cow. When hastily married after her father's death, to honor the agreement made in his will, she expects nothing of it. And she is right to think so. Matthew Whitfield is not happy upon receiving Rose as a bride. He cannot even look upon her, as she refuses to take off her veil, and has no features he considers attractive. The handsome charming Mr. Whitfield cannot be bothered by the likes of his wife. She is the fulfillment of a contract and nothing more. So he takes a mistress, and falls in love. Victoria Sill is everything Rose is not. Beautiful, gliding, and glowing. She's interested in one thing only, and that is to hold the title of Matthew's wife, Mrs. Whitfield. She doesn't care who she has to crush to get her way, be it Rose herself. Victoria always get what she wants. Be it one way or other. Soon Rose falls upon a secret that turns the tables. In addition, Victoria finds a way to become closer to the Whitfield name. A child. As the circumstances shift, and the Whitfield mansion is thrown into uproar, will this situation bring Matthew and Rose together? Or will Victoria succeed in keeping them apart? ---- #35 in victorian 5/13/22 #1 in oldtimes 5/23/22 #2 in regency 5/28/22 #1 in bridgerton 6/15/22 [[word count: 80,000-100,000 words]]Complete

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.

Burn - Edmund Bridgerton II's story
Miss Amelia Fife is young, beautiful - and utterly penniless. Since her father's tragic passing her uncle has paid for one season in London, and one season only, during which she has to find herself a husband and save herself, along with her infamous opera songstress mother, from utter ruin. Amelia enters her first ball with one simple instruction: stay away from the Bridgertons - and especially Viscount Bridgerton's sons. When none other than said viscount's oldest son and heir, Edmund II or rather Eddie, steps in her way, things no longer seem to be in Amelia's control. As determinedly as she tries to steer her course towards a more suitable husband, she somehow always ends up in the dangerously handsome young viscount's vicinity. It would be easy enough to withstand the pull she feels towards Eddie had he only been a smirking rake, but how is she supposed to resist giving in to their overwhelming connection when he finally shows her his true colours?Complete![[1] The Queen Dowager of Württemberg | A.

[1] The Queen Dowager of Württemberg | A. Bridgerton
The tale of Her Majesty The Queen Dowager of Württemberg unfolds not as a fairy-tale love story with a happily ever after but as a narrative of growth and resilience. Returning to London with her youngest children after her husband's demise, she steps back into the swirl of the 1813 social season. Life demanded many sacrifices from Charlotte, but none weighed as heavily as the sacrifice of her enduring love, especially for one man-a particular Viscount. Thirteen years after burying the echoes of their first love, fate orchestrates a poignant reunion between Charlotte and the Viscount, Anthony Bridgerton. What they believed to be entombed emotions rise to the surface with each encounter, proving that some feelings, no matter how deeply buried, refuse to remain silent. Love crashes onto their souls once again, defying the passage of time and stirring the embers of a connection they thought had long faded away. The 1813 social season will definitely be as unexpected as it will be beautiful and scandalous. Lady Whistledown shall have to purchase more ink... Disclaimer: All original rights and credits of this amazing series goes to its creators. And of course, the original creator of all characters and books, Julia Quinn and to Chris Van Duden, the creator/showrunner/executive producer of the Netflix Original Series: Bridgerton.
