Her father had made it no secret that he did not want her and had not paid her any care, her brother had never been around, and unless you counted Lady Danbury, she would not consider she had any friends. So, how shall she cope when she is thrown into the lion's den of the ton, and attracts the attention of none other than the Bridgertons? Shall her immediate interest in Anthony lead to a happy ending, or is there an unexpected romance around the corner? Anthony Bridgerton x OC Benedict Bridgerton x OC

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. ______________________ An original story with small references from the novel, An Offer from a Gentlemen. All rights to any tidbits from An Offer from a Gentlemen go directly and completely to Julia Quinn.

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

It is wrong...to love you? ~ E. Bridgerton by alondratrevi

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.

Reflections of the choices by NastyLittle

״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.

"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
