Summary
In 1803, sixteen-year-old Benedict Bridgerton is spending the summer in Paris when the Napoleonic Wars are declared and he becomes a prisoner of war. The Bridgertons constantly worry about their missing brother, working to find a way to bring him home when suddenly the letters stop.
In 1807, eighteen-year-old Sophie Baek is illegally sold as a maid to a family in Verdun, when she meets Benjamin Sojourner, a mysterious and handsome young Englishman who lost his memory in an accident three years earlier.
In 1814, twenty-three-year-old Colin Bridgerton is touring France when Sophie Lefèvre, a happily married seamstress invites him home for dinner. Upon arriving to the Lefèvre residence, Colin is shocked to run into his long thought dead brother, Benedict, now happily married with four children and has no idea what the hell Colin is talking about when he calls him “Benedict” much less “brother.”
How Colin is going to explain this one to the family is anyone’s guess.

Summary
Benedict Bridgerton is not ashamed of his Etsy shop, What's the Buzz? He just doesn't need his family to know most of his grocery money isn't coming from his "serious art" but rather kitschy baby shower invitation designs. Especially when Daphne unknowingly becomes his best customer.
But when Daphne invites What's the Buzz to a gala celebrating local businesses who grow their customer base without nepotistic connections, Benedict is well and truly fucked.
Sophie Beckett is a few quid short on her rent when she finds a Reddit post offering to pay a woman to attend a gala and pretend she runs an Etsy shop. After meeting the surprisingly handsome Etsy man, Sophie takes up the offer figuring what could even happen?
Shenanigans and romance ensue.

Summary
Who is Miss Sophia Shu-Mei Beckett?
It is the season of 1812 and at the Bridgerton masquerade ball a mysterious woman in silver enchants the ton, then disappears as quickly as moonlight flees from dawn.
Sophia Shu-Mei Beckett dons a silver dress and attends a ball to support a friend but finds herself conversing with a mysterious gentleman with the soul of an artist.
Benedict Bridgerton is left haunted by a Lady whose smile enraptured him far more than her silver skirt.
In fairytales the two would reunite and live happily ever after. But Sophia Beckett knows that illegitimate children of noblemen and maids do not get fairytale endings, and so the lovers are left only with the memory of a moonlit kiss on their lips.
*~*~*~*~*
It is 1815, not even a year since Simon Hasting’s death in his country study, when Daphne Hastings finds a bundle of papers revolving around one Miss Sophia Beckett.
Sophie knows not to dwell in the past, but as she returns to London the currents of past and present, love and loss draw Sophie and Benedict closer and closer together—no matter the risk, no matter the cost.

Summary
My head canon rewrite of An Offer From a Gentleman by Julia Quinn, melding the best parts of the book and Bridgerton tv show. This is not an attempt to predict/write Benedict's love story on the show, just an exercise in tweaking things I didn't like in the book. This is a Benedict and Sophie love story where Sophie has more agency, Benedict has more kindness, there are a lot more steamy encounters, and many more characters play a role in their coming together.
Posted as a multichapter fanfic, but it's not a fully written story start-to-finish. There are scenes and lines from the book that I want to preserve and expository bits that wouldn't be worth a rewrite, so those will be noted within the body of the chapters.
[exposition and summary notes will be marked in brackets]
Quoted lines from An Offer From a Gentleman will be written in italics and are the work of Julia Quinn.
