    Summary

    A Modern Bridgerton AU that pretty much follows the canon of the books but makes it more realistic for the modern world (such as, they will not be married two months after meeting each other for the first time, that is literally insane) :) in a perfect world, it will cover all 8 siblings with all 8 relationships, but we will go until the muse gives out on us!

    Summary

    ──── ❛❛You grew up beside Anthony Bridgerton, before he was the Viscount, before duty hardened him. He was your best friend and your constant. As the boy became a man, glances lingered and touches meant more than they should. But responsability came first, and neither of you dared to name what was growing between you.❞

    Summary

    Lady Y/N Ashbourne was never meant to return to London. Not after her family’s disgrace, not after the duel that nearly destroyed her brother, and certainly not after ten years of silence from the very people who once called her their own. But when the Season begins and the pressure to reclaim her name becomes too great to ignore, she enters the ballroom with her chin high, her gloves spotless, and her secrets buried deep.

    She expects whispers. She expects rejection. She does not expect the Viscount.

    Anthony Bridgerton has no time for sentiment, and even less for scandal—but when he sees Y/N again, no longer the stubborn girl chasing her brother through the gardens of Aubrey Hall, but a composed and wounded woman standing alone, he makes a decision that surprises everyone, himself most of all.

    A marriage of convenience, inked in silence and necessity.
    But beneath the terms of the contract lie a decade of unspoken words, old regrets, and something else neither of them dares to name.

    Because love was never part of the arrangement.
    Until, somehow, it is.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger’s wedding ceremony is gorgeous. It’s the social event of the season. Everyone is there - their families, closest friends, farthest friends, workplace acquaintances, celebrities, reporters for every newspaper and magazine. The groom’s mother is beaming proudly.

    If anyone notices the bride disappearing for nearly half an hour after the ceremony and returning looking harried with her makeup smudged, nobody comments on it.

    Summary

    Anne was looking forward to meeting Avonlea's new schoolmaster, and if she could only stop herself from being distracted by the memory of a tall, dark, handsome stranger that she knows she'll never meet again, she was sure she would make an excellent impression on the new teacher, no matter what Minnie May had to say.
