Summary
For some reason, Eloise appears oblivious to the fact that she is indeed popular amongst the ladies of the ton. She always seems as if she is thinking a hundred different things at once, and then suddenly she’ll do something sweet, like drop by her house in a blue dress that makes her look like she’s fallen from the sky and call upon her to ask if she’s all right.
Once, in the early days of their friendship, when they were still in the countryside, Cressida caught a slight cold and was barred from going outdoors for a few days. A servant slipped a note and box into her room. The box was a box of her favorite chocolates, mentioned offhand amongst a million other little things Cressida was probably rambling about, and the note said, Get well soon. Else I will not need to fake a sickness of my own to join your side. Yours, Eloise.
Sometimes, when she is feeling low, when her father is being particularly hard on her, when the house seems too big, too empty, too much, she picks up the note, which she’s kept, creased from the amount of times she’s folded it and looked at it, and thinks of that address. Yours.

Summary
"Eloise did not dream of white knights on trusty steeds or gallant princes from faraway lands come to whisk her off to a castle that might as well be a jail cell. Once she might have dreamt of a handsome printer’s assistant in a grubby print shop. Once she might have dreamt of the smell of rose water on skin and the sound of a tinkling laugh that delighted in everything she said. Now she dreamed only of freedom."
In which Eloise is an unsatisfied spinster and travels to Wales to meet a friend.

Summary
Once the order is in and the stack of eight coffees is secured in the cart she had brought just for the occasion (she learned long ago to not trust herself with carrying that much liquid with her bare hands), Eloise grabs the two remaining coffees - one for herself and one for her demonic boss (she can only imagine his horror if his coffee dared to touch anybody else’s) - before turning.

"But in loving, Leander the good swimmer, Troilus the first employer of panders, and a whole bookful of these quondam carpetmongers, whose names yet run smoothly in the even road of a blank verse, why, they were never so truly turned over and over as my poor self in love." - Benedick, Much Ado About Nothing, Act V, Scene II
When an accident befalls Eloise, Cressida, Gregory, and Hyacinth, the Bridgertons rally around them and escape from Mayfair during the middle of the season. At Aubrey Hall, Cressida reveals herself, little by little, as she and Eloise navigate the treacherous waters together.

Summary
Michaela’s fingers, which are a bit cold, graze the inside of her wrist. “It’s not innocent like this.” She whispers now too, fingers slide up her forearm.
That certainly doesn’t feel innocent to Francesca, who bites down on her lip to suppress a whimper at the contact she’s not at all used to.
Most touches did not feel as Michaela’s fingers do now, tracing across the inside of her arm, pushing up the sleeve of her dress so that skin can meet skin in some distracting sort of way that immediately sparks a new melody in Francesca’s head. As her fingers dance in what is supposed to be an innocent action across the soft skin of her forearm, she is finding it harder and harder to breathe in any air.
“Many nights in France I found places full of the kind of touch that you cannot possibly imagine.” Michaela is still watching every feature on her face, so closely that it would make her self-conscious about it if she wasn’t so distracted by the way her careful fingers dance across her skin. “That is the most wicked thing I can tell you of, something so ruinous that even if I had ever wanted to be a debutante, I would not have the chance.”
or With Love, Franchaela.

Summary
“You should try writing to her, even if you are not to send them. I find, when I have so many feelings that I am unsure what to do with them, it helps to release them creatively.”
“But you draw, and I’m not much of a writer honestly. Well… most of the time anyway.”
“There are all kinds of writers you know. You believe yourself to not be a writer because there are so many of them already around you, but the world is full of creativity, full of art, full of someone who will always be better at something than you Eloise. Besides, I’m not asking you to publish a book of poetry for a long-lost lover. I’m just saying, try an outlet for once that doesn’t involve smoking on a swing?”
At that she had laughed but she had gone to bed with Michaela’s advice singing in the back of her mind and then had spent many nights when she couldn’t sleep in Scotland doing exactly as she had suggested.
And now Eloise stared at the never-to-be recipient of dozens of letters that hide in her desk drawer that resides in her room at Aubrey Hall and she is none-the-wiser and oddly calm and beautiful for someone who has been stuck with sheep for the last year.

Summary
"Do you recall when I mentioned I had glimpsed her thoughts?" she inquired, her voice low, "I observed something rather out of the ordinary. Bella"—she went on insistently—"I am increasingly persuaded that there exists a distinct and troubling possibility: she may well be a venor floccus." In this reimagining, Hermione Granger is not yet the self-possessed, incisive young woman the world will one day revere. At fifteen, she remains uncertain, untempered—far too earnest and soft-hearted for the company she keeps. Yet, as the days darken and the world grows more unfamiliar, Hermione finds herself undergoing a subtle, uneasy transformation—drawn forth by secrets, mounting pressures, and a disquieting fascination with the enigmatic Bellatrix Lestrange.

Summary
Hermione Granger has settled into her life after the war. She’s got a well-paying job (and an obscene amount of Galleons for being a hero), a new house, and a shiny rock on her finger which is to be replaced by a wedding band soon. Nothing is missing, right?
Andromeda Tonks goes to great lengths to decline the invitation to the Granger-Weasley wedding. She has convinced herself it’s for the best and what she remembers can be written off as nothing.
An unfortunate accident occurring at an unfortunate time will show them both that ‘nothing’ can sometimes mean ‘something’.Bookmarked by bubsaika
