Goodnight, Mr Bridgerton by Caesar_Flickerman
15 parts Complete
As Colin Bridgerton is falling for Penelope Featherington, Benedict is also falling for a London season debutante. But though he is one of the ton's most eligible bachelors and has girls falling over themselves to dance with him, this is not a romance that blossoms in the ballroom, but in the quieter rooms of the grand houses of the season's hosts. Clara Marlowe has enough problems without a handsome stranger finding her in her hiding spot at Lady Danbury's ball, and enough suitors to try and forget him when he doesn't call on her the next morning. But by the second ball of the season it seems she cannot move on from him so easily. Set parallel to the events of season three. Basically Benedict being a hopeless romantic for 15k words. *also posted on ao3*
