No Wrong Seasons by HalcyonHal

Summary
It was only at the end of the day that Mary asked about it. “I never knew that you had such a fine singing voice.”
He was quiet for a moment, and she worried the question was too much. When he replied, his voice was soft, halting and hesitant. “Well…. I was in the choir at school, as I said. But it was a condition of my scholarship. I loved to sing with my family, but something about singing for my supper put me right off.” He gave a short, sighing laugh. “It didn’t help that my voice took a long time to break, and even then it stayed high. The music master didn’t think it a problem but the other boys teased me terribly.” His sentence snagged on a barb of real pain and tapered off.
Mary thought she understood, a little, if not the talent, then the thing that had curtailed it. A similar desperation had infected her piano playing, when she'd hoped it might make up for her many shortcomings. All that was long gone, and yet, the memory of it was making her eyes prick in the dark. So how must Tom feel?
“I think,” Mary said carefully, “that your singing is perhaps the loveliest thing I have ever heard.”
A year of the Haywards' marriage, told in four parts.

Summary
When embarking on their anonymous email experiment, The Rules that TinternAbbeys and MrsMacaulayKnowsAll had set up were very clear:
1. No personally identifying information of any kind
2. No looking the other person up at all
3. No texts/calls/meeting in person
4. These messages are a way to reclaim a dying form of communication, so at least try to keep to some level of etiquette - it’s the correspondence that’s the point!Rule number four is easy to follow. The other three, less so…especially when Tom Hayward and Mary Bennet meet for what they think is the very first time.
A modern AU inspired by the film You’ve Got Mail.

Summary
Thomas Hayward recognized a few universal truths about life. One, that a single man who was not in possession of a good fortune must work for everything he has. Two, that love was not something that people merely acquired without equal amounts of hard work and finally, that you always wanted Mrs. Gardiner on your side.

Summary
Tom has an issue. He may or may not have accidentally told people that he has spoken for Miss Bennet, even though they are only friends. He blames this on the fact that she deserves much more than to be courted by the available suitors of London, and not of the strange feeling he gets from thinking of her with another man.
˟ ˟ ˟
Mary is determined to help her friend out when she hears of how Mr Hayward needs to be engaged to be married in order to be able to advance in his career. She understands how a solid home-life is important for a barrister, and so she steps up to be his pretend fiancé. It has nothing to do with the flutters she gets in her stomach when he looks at her for too long. Or any time at all really.Bookmarked by Serafimaa

Summary
Mary and Tom are book editors in Bloomsbury, skilled at untangling narratives but utterly clueless when it comes to their own.
Modern AU.
Mary closed her eyes and took a breath, trying to ignore the fire that had begun to burn in her chest.
“So, it’s a compromise for you?” she said, her voice trembling with a brittle, rising anger. “You offer me ‘security,’ and in exchange, I devote my life and every waking hour to your whims and travels?”
“I never said—”
“Yet you made it perfectly clear."Bookmarked by Serafimaa

According to Ann, Lady Winspear’s evening ball was the perfect chance to help Mary find a husband and Tom was just the person to help the other gentlemen take notice of her.

Summary
In 1813, Colin went to bed in Bridgerton House the day before Daphne's societal debut.

When Penelope also awakens believing it to be the day of her own debut, the pair work together to figure out where-and when-they are.

Summary
Polin AU - Medieval times
Lord Featherington reached out and took hold of his daughter’s hands in his own. “All will be well, my dear,” he soothed. “King Anthony has vowed that you will be cared for by his brother, Colin. He is the third born son. A third born son for a third born daughter.”
“To know a name is not the same as knowing the person,” Penelope muttered under her breath, loud enough for her father to hear.

Summary
“You earnestly believe you can trick me into loving you in three months? Mr. Bridgerton, this shall be the easiest-won wager any woman has ever known.”
Colin chuckles. “I believe,” he says, “I can do it in one. The latter two shall be enjoyed as our honeymoon.”
Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton haven’t properly seen each other in years.
Now, they find themselves maneuvered into an arranged marriage neither of them wants.
Penelope, sharp-tongued and self-possessed, has no intention of being anyone’s consolation prize. Colin, newly returned from the continent and having already insulted his bride, did not comprehend quite the little spitfire he'd been given.
And so, a wager is struck: Three months to earn her regard, or surrender the match.

Summary
"Are you alright, Mary?"
Mary nodded. Mrs. Gardiner didn't say anything. Mary sighed and shook her head, burying her face on her hands. She took several deep breaths, trying to keep herself from crying, and felt Mrs. Gardiner's hand rest on her shoulder.
"It's about—Mr. Hayward," Mary said, straightening up and tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
Mrs. Gardiner nodded, her gaze sympathetic.
"I am worried," Mary started, carefully choosing her words as she struggled against the tears pricking at her eyes, "that I—that he—that we do not feel the same way about each other," she finished lamely, ducking her head.
"Oh, Mary," Mrs. Gardiner said, her voice filled with kindness. Mary choked back a sob and buried her face in Mrs. Gardiner's shoulder, shaking as she tried to fight back her tears to no avail.
OR: Tom Hayward is trying his absolute best to keep Mary from feeling the least bit uncomfortable around him. Mary, however, is worried that his lack of direct affection signals a deeper lack of emotion towards her. They talk it out.

Summary
He'd heard about it before, in whispers from the sort of men who went to gentlemen's clubs and brothels. An act that was pleasurable for the woman, though perhaps debasing for the man.
Tom didn't think it could be.
It was a hunger that lived deep inside him, and he needed to satisfy it desperately.
AKA: Tom wants to go down on Mary. Badly.
