Summary
“I'm sorry, but aren't you Kate Sharma?” he asked, matching her face against the picture from the call a few hours prior. Within seconds her eyes narrowed and the smile immediately vanished from her lips.
“Anthony Bridgerton?”
“What a small world,” he tried, but she only gave him a curt nod.
“Yes indeed.”
Her tone was just as icy as during their negotiations, and Anthony wondered once more what triggered her animosity.
OR
Kate and Anthony first meet during contract negotiations before meeting for a second time at the theatre, where they are given seats next to each other. Over the course of several months, several operas and operettas, a string of work calls and endless pages of legal documents, Anthony falls head over heels for her, despite the fact that she initially seems to dislike him.
But asking out the opposing counsel is not exactly the thing you do, especially when said opposing counsel might accuse you of unethical behaviour…
OR
The story of how Anthony is secretly pining for Kate - opposing counsel and coincidental seat buddy at the opera - for months while (for reasons unknown) she seems to hate his guts.

Summary
“Why did you come after me tonight?” she asked quietly, her eyes fixed on the dying flames.
Anthony hesitated, the question catching him off guard. “Because I had to,” he said simply.
She turned to face him, her brow furrowed. “That is not an answer.”
“It is the only answer I have,” he said, his voice steady. “When I saw you with Fife, when I saw the way he looked at you, the way he tried to—” He broke off, his jaw tightening. “I couldn’t stand by and do nothing.”

Summary
“When I took your hand to assure you I was unharmed from the bee sting, you – you looked at me. When I was trying to shoot a gun, you took it upon yourself to manhandle me and you looked at me. And now, I am trying my utmost to understand you, understand your past, and you…” She trails off, unable to keep going, and Anthony wonders if she is so distraught because of the storm or because of all their near-misses and almost-kisses.
“Have you not looked back?” Anthony asks, abandoning his pretences of decorum, for it is evident that Kate is not maintaining hers. “Every single time, are you truly telling me you felt nothing in return? Because if you did… if you felt nothing, tell me right now and I will walk away and we can agree that this conversation never happened.”
Set during and after the 2x04 library scene. What if Kate didn't walk away from Anthony when she did?

Summary
Lord Gloucester’s hand rested lightly on her waist as they moved through the steps of the quadrille. He was handsome enough: tall, broad-shouldered, with a sharp jawline that seemed crafted specifically to win the favour of discerning mamas. His conversation was pleasant too, peppered with the occasional wry comment that might have made her laugh, had her thoughts not been so elsewhere.
He was everything a woman of her situation ought to want. An earl. Wealthy beyond belief. Accepting his proposal—should he ever offer it—would finish all their financial worries in one sweeping gesture.
And yet, as Lord Gloucester guided her through another turn, Kate’s heart remained infuriatingly still. He didn’t make her pulse race or her breath catch. He didn’t make her stomach twist into nervous, wonderful knots. He didn’t—
He didn’t look at her the way Anthony was looking at her now.

Summary
Every part of him is captivating, Kate thinks. The thick hair crowning his head, chestnut curls weaved with threads of silver. His beard, salt and peppered, neatly trimmed. She wants to feel it skimming her cheek, feel it scrape roughly against her palm. She wants to press her tongue into his mouth tonight and wake with a red chin the next morning, a testament to the thistle hedging his lips.
__Kate goes to her regular pub to order her regular drink and finds… not her regular bartender. She decides to break routine and live a little. Just for tonight.
__A modern PWP AU.

Summary
“How do you do Miss Sharma?”
“Very well,” She let her eyes flick to his insignia “Flight Lieutenant Bridgerton.”
He clicked his tongue, something smug in his expression, as he leaned forward as though he was telling her a secret, “Oh pretty girls get to call me Anthony.”
Kate leaned backwards, ignoring the way her heart fluttered in her chest, “I don’t think that’ll be necessary.”OR
And she could have gone her whole life without wanting to see him again, until a pilot was brought in, suspected paralysis from the waist down, with no one any the wiser as to how he survived at all. And she looked at his sleeping face, hollow and gaunt and still so handsome, and her heart stuttered. Anthony Bridgerton.
