Goodnight, Mr Bridgerton by Caesar_Flickerman

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*

When Cupid Falls In Love by rivermightwrite

When your a Greek God people expect you to be an over confident know-it-all and live up to your stereotype, but truthfully we're all ironic. Our fiercest warriors Zeus and Poseidon like to watch chick flicks, my mother Aphrodite isn't sweet and charming just an irritating turn off with her terrible attitude, Hermes isn't witty and intelligent--he's dimwitted and I, Cupid, don't know how to be in love. So when I accidentally shot myself with an arrow and fell for a dancer named Penny, I had to learn about love from a new perspective. One that made me do a lot of humiliating things and almost ruin it forever. Highest Ranking: #153 in Teen Fiction (c) Copyrighted 2021 by therivermassey

Peaches is a Featherington, and like her brash and horribly dressed sisters, she is to be thrown to the lions of the ton for this season's marriage market. She does not wish to find love or romance or to marry. So she is shocked when she finds she cannot resist no other than the second born Bridgerton. Benedict x OC Completed! 50,000 words Best ratings: #1 in Bridgerton, #1 in BenedictBridgerton Hope you enjoy 💗 Characters and overarching story do not belong to me! OC characters and storylines only. Some bits of the series have been changed to better fit with my story so not 100% accurate to the TV show or the books! The ages are a little inconsistent too and I apologise for that... In line with Quinn's books, Peaches would be about 15 - I imagine her around 22. I don't condone relationships with minors! I didn't really think anyone would read my book, so I didn't focus too much on ages being accurate to the original books! It's my first fic and I've made some mistakes but please stick with me! <3
