    Summary

    Eloise Bridgerton never expected her moral outrage to spark a correspondence that might just undo her carefully curated solitude. A civil liberties solicitor with a podcast, a cat named Austen, and a righteous hatred for patriarchal nonsense, she’s built a life on caffeine, confrontation, and a refusal to conform—especially not to her aristocratic family’s expectations.

    But when a smug op-ed in The Times misquotes an obscure Cambridge botanist—Dr. Philip Crane—Eloise takes to the mic with her signature fury, only to find herself… intrigued. Crane, it turns out, is no crusty academic. His work is rigorous, poetic, radically just. His words stick with her. She reads more. She rants. She dives into his footnotes.

    And then—she writes to him.

    Summary

    "Here's what's going to happen. I'm going to touch you. You're going to lie there and let me. You don't speak. You don't touch me."

    Sophie has spent months building small fortifications, and Benedict has spent just as long learning exactly how to dismantle them. When a quiet Sunday afternoon shifts into a dominant game of sensation and denial, he finds himself captivated by her unraveling. He wants to map every inch of her reactions under his hands, turning their intimacy into a private masterpiece. He will make her lose her mind, and he won't let her make a single sound while it happens.

    Summary

    Since he was a little boy, his soul cried out for his mate, but, he had made an oath to never satisfy the longing in his heart. He had a duty to perform.

    Since she was a little girl, her heart has longed for her mate, but, she is determined to not give voice to the cries of her soul. She has a plan to follow.

    But, their plans and oaths little mattered, because, no matter how hard they tried, their hearts could not be tamed.

     

    (A retelling of Bridgerton season 2, with plot twists and with some nods to the books. Where they live in a slightly different world, where Sentinels and Guides exist and are known.)

     

    * It's not necessary to know what guides/sentinels are to read this story, it's explained throughout it! ;)
    ** 2023/02/05 => this story has been entirely revised and had 6687 words added to it. :)

    Summary

    Fran and Michaela are happily married!

    This is what I imagine life would be like post their season 5 happy ending, kind of following after how I intend to end my slow-burn fic, "The Only Exception".

    As much as I'm excited for the tension, jealousy, and angst; I'm really excited to see them be soft with one another.

    Really healthy mixture of married fluff, family dynamics, and spicy scenes.
